The Light in the ForestConrad Richter's book, The Light in the Forest, is about a boy from Pennsylvania who is adopted into an Indian family. After a long time, True Son had to return to his white family. The test of history is that he wanted to return to the Indians and not stay in the white village. When he returned, he made a serious mistake and was kicked out of the Indian village. In my opinion, Cuyloga made the hardest decision in the novel when he decided to fire True Son at the end. The first reason it was difficult for Cuyloga to make this decision was because he loved his son and wanted him to do this. live. He knew True Son didn't mean what he did, but it just happened. So he decided that since he was the father, he had to take full responsibility for True Son's actions. When he wanted the Indians to fight True Son, they didn't. So instead he told True Son that he had to leave and not come back. If he came back, he would be killed. Parents have to make difficult decisions for their children because they care for them. If they didn't make decisions, something could happen to the children. Second, it was a difficult decision because Cuyloga thought that if he stood there and watched them kill True Son, he wouldn't be able to face his family at home. His family would be angry with him if he let the Indians kill him. He thought that if he spared his life and never saw him again, everything would be okay because he would be much safer. He chose to make him leave because he cared about True Son. I would have done the same thing for the sake of True Son. At least I would know he was alive and not scalped.
