I think that it is mostly Jeannette that has a strong reaction to fire. After returning from the hospital, Jeannette becomes enthralled by fire. Her parents support this, insistent that she not be defeated or afraid of that which led to her injury. Not only does Jeannette resume cooking hot dogs on the stove (to the delight of her mother) but she also starts to steal her father’s matches.
A parental wish is something (usually a task) that a parent would like to be accomplished by the child.
Well thet were very kind to us AMERICANS! sorry i had to, and they wanted peace thank would fight with the colonists until you know we made them move out west
James Fenimore Cooper
Many of Cooper's writings focused on the American frontier. He often wrote about Native American life especially in his Leatherstocking Tales. He also wrote sea novels as well as the historical novel "History of the Navy of the United States of America".
Mark Twain is well-known for his writing about American life, but not for introducing the sea. He did introduce the Mississippi River. Herman Melville is most widely known for introducing the sea in his novel, Moby D__.
