This is the professor's exact assignment. The book that I was to read was "The Last of the Mohicans" by James Fenimore Cooper. The paper needs to be a critical interpretation of this book. I didn't read this book, or else I would be writing this paper myself. The interpretation has to be based on one of the critical literary analysis' approaches, I'm going to assume you know what that is, but in case you do not, here is a link http://www2.sdfi.edu.cn/netclass/jiaoan/englit/englit/criticism.htm
One of those approaches must be taken when writing the paper.

Please follow the quoted instructions very thoroughly, I need this paper to get a grade of at least an 87.
