Character Analysis (at least 2 characters with description and quotes)
Major Duncan Heyward - Heyward was a young American from the South. He worked his way up to Major in the English Army. Some good qualities he had were courage, trustworthiness and nobility. A flaw he had was being terrible with directions; when in the forest he aways had to rely on Hawkeye. Pg 48 (Digital) - “Say, rather, Alice, that I would not trust you. I do know him, or he would not have my confidence, and least of all at this moment. He is said to be a Canadian, too; and yet he served with our friends the Mohawks, who as you know, are one of the six allied Nations.”
Natty Bumppo - Natty was the star of this book. Natty Bumppo was his given name. He adopted the name of Hawkeye because he was a skilled marksman. A fun fact about him is he had a rifle named Killdeer. He is a man who doesn't get emotional but rejoices with death because in the end he said: “Hawkeye argues that Uncas has merely left him for a time.” Pg 1491(Digital)
Alice Munro - Alice is Colonel Munro’s second daughter with his second wife. She has an older half sister who is the opposite of her. Alice is a girly girl with blond hair and beautiful skin who loves Major Heyward. When she gets stressed she faints. At times Alice can also have an opinion about certain things. Pg 48 (Digital) - “If he has been my fathers enemy, I like him still less!”
