Student's name and course: César Augusto Salinas Romero
Teacher's name: Mr. Antonio Rios Date: 17/12/2011
1.-Express opinions, doubts, confusions, and convictions that come to your mind as you think about what you have read. Watch and write about how these things change over time. Include title of book, article, magazine, etc. that you are reading.
I have read the last of the Mohicans. It is a book about the difference between the independence of our country and United State’s independent. The title says the Mohicans because this name was about one last tribe that had survived; only there was one person of this tribe because England people has attack them to control their land. I think it is a good novel that shows how to appreciate the things that we have and preserve your culture and customs. I did not get some part of the book, perhaps it because I need to search first the history of the United States.
However, I recommend this book because it teaches you a lot of things about this culture and how the real people from united state were divided, since England and French people try to dominate this land.
