The Light in the Forest Conrad Richter's book, The Light in the Forest, is about a boy from Pennsylvania who was adopted by an Indian family. After a long period of time, True Son had to return to his white family. The hard test of the story is that he wanted to go back to the Indians and not stay in the white village. When he returned, he made a big mistake and was expelled from the Indian village. In my opinion, Cuyloga made the most difficult decision in the novel when she ultimately decided to send True Son away. The first reason it was difficult for Cuyloga to make this decision was that she loved her son and wanted her to do so. live. He knew True Son didn't mean what he said, but it just happened. He then decided that since he was the father, he should take full responsibility for True Son's action. 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 returned, he would be killed. Parents have to make difficult decisions for their children because they care for them. If they hadn't made decisions, something could have happened to the children. Secondly, 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 back 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 fine because he would be much safer. He chose to let him go because he cared about True Son. I would have done the same thing for True Son's sake. At least I would have known he was alive and unscalped.
