He turned out to be right

O Level English 1970

Some contrary points: Isak is the first one to settle in the area but he is not hostile to people following him. In the end of the book he has ten households as neighbors, and he actually says that it is good. The ex-sheriff has a liking for Isak, and has capital from time to time. He does not care about the nature as such, more about the way people is living of it, or maybe the character of them. He is kind of a semi-god. Like Loke or Prometheus. He is not productive him self but he has resources. One of Isak’s sons goes to America. It’s a paradox that that is portrayed as the easy way, when the whole book is about the hard work of settlers. You can read the book as a story about a little USA in Norway. Anyhow, the book is too rich to be described in a few words.

Good job ❤❤

According to family history, Earl Maccus (a ancestor) killed Eric Bloodaxe at the request of the English King.

Richard II still gets the last stand award. He fights back and kills 2 of the hired thugs sent to kill him. The 1982 David Birney version does him one better and allows him to kills 3 of the hired thugs. His last stand rivals Macbeth's.

Thanks for this! Great refresher before class!
