Throughout history, there have been many robberies in America, but only one remains a mystery. The name Dan Cooper, also known as DB Cooper, is well known by many. This was the name of the passenger who skyjacked the Northwest Orient Airlines Flight 305 on November 24, 1971. Cooper threatened to blow up the plane if he was not given four parachutes and 200,000 dollar, so Northwest Airlines responded willingly.

James Fenimore Cooper’s narrative in “The Last of the Mohicans” relates a lot to the Romanticism period. It has a lot of the characteristics of American Romanticism. We can see that he is very disgusted with the monarchs of Europe as he says in the first chapter, on page 11, “But, emulating the patience and self-denial of the practiced native warriors, they learned to overcome every difficulty; and it would seem that, in time, there was no recess of the woods so dark, nor any secret place so…

Revolutions all across the globe had constituted to an era, which brought forth to some of the most influential artists and writers of the late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century.

James Fenimore Cooper has a past in the church. He was very active in his hometown church. Later in his life he took on leadership and clergy roles there. He donated a lot of money and supervised the redesigning of the church as his own expense. Also later in his life he was confirmed by the church. He was very publically involved in his home church, so for him to have written a book tying in Christian values is not surprising. Some writers who analyze Cooper’s work said he was the only major…

The Last Mohican by James Fenimore Cooper can be securely called an example of Native American literature because it aligns with three important elements of that style: Bravery in people, Bitterness towards others not of their kind, and Ancestry, which are also present in the acclaimed Native American works “The Way to Rainy Mountain” by N. Scott Momaday and Smoke Signals directed by Chris Eyre. Bravery in people are represented in Smoke Signals and The Last Mohican. Thomas Build-the-Fire shows…

The title, The Last of Mohicans, itself represents a metaphor for the fate of Native. In this title, Cooper is more worried regarding Indians in general. His fiction provided factual transparency by organizing Indians into distinct groups: neutral speakers (i.e. Delaware and Mohicans) and pro French speakers (i.e. Huron and…
