Essay question for Last of the Mohicans

Choose one of the following to write about:

Why do you suppose Cooper gave the novel its particular title? Do the events justify the title?

Justify one's calling Cooper the first American novelist.

Give three reasons why the novel must be classed as romantic rather than realistic or naturalistic.

Cooper, like others of his time, believed in the idea of progress. Does The Last of the Mohicans suggest that he had any doubts or qualifications concerning that idea?
