The Pioneers by James Fenimore Cooper presents the idea that we must not waste the resources that this new land offers us. The tale begins with conflicting ideas about how to use remedies varying between three characters. Richard, Marmaduke's cousin in the novel, believes that the land will always provide and that this will never be a problem; America should use what it has because it will last at least 50 years. Marmaduke is a more conscientious character. He believes that resources must be used and that we can waste a little. He also recognizes that America should exercise a little caution and try to slow its consumption of resources. Natty believes America should use very little of it. Only kill anything when necessary and then stop. A person should never abuse resources. There are a few other characters that play into this debate. There's Billy Kirby, the lumberjack who loves to cut down trees and then burn them. He is a very useless character according to Natty. Indian John is another interesting person, but he doesn't really participate in the debate. He is known as someone who respects the land and agrees with Natty in general on hunting. The last two characters, and perhaps the most important characters in this debate, are Oliver and Elizabeth. They end up getting married and are the representation of what America will become. It is they who must be convinced in the novel of opposing points of view. Ultimately, it can be inferred that the novel supports the idea of ​​using resources without wasting them. As the novel precedes, it suggests that the American nation should be a conscientious and wasteless nation, which is endorsed by Elizabeth's marriage and...... middle of paper ...... resentment. Oliver is the woodland hunter who has a connection to nature due to his relationship with Natty and Indian John. Elizabeth is an educated woman from civilization due to her relationship with Richard and Marmaduke. Together, they fall between all of these ideas. They push for the colonization of America, but they also push for the idea of ​​using, but not wasting. Overall, Elizabeth and Oliver are the characters that represent America. They advocate conservatism and the restoration of broken ties. Together they represent conservatism in America. Settling on a new land does not mean destroying the new land. We have to think about the future as the regulations are made. Using resources without wasting them is necessary for the future prosperity of this new country. Thus, creating a conservative and conscientious country that knows the past is behind it and has a wonderful future ahead of it..
