THE LIGHT IN THE FOREST
The Light in the Forest, By Conrad Richter, 1953. A white boy raised as an Indian. Then had to return to the white people in the mid 1700‘s. Even though True Son had to live as a white person he was an Indian at heart. You can’t always do what you want to do.
This story was the differences between the free world of the Indians and the restricting of the whites. The Indians roam the land freely and eat what nature provides while the whites live a strict following world by creating settlements and setting up industries.
True Son was his Indian name. True son was captured by the Native American tribe when he was only 4 years old. He was raised by a Indian named Cuyloga and the tribe name was Lenni Lenape Tribe. He lived as a real Indian and his tribe thought of him as a true Indian to replace a son that Cuyloga had lost.
True Son found out that he had to go back to his white family when he was fifteen years old as the soldiers were negotiating with the Indians. Cuyloga didn’t want to give up the boy but he had to and hated the though of the enemy coming near as they took back what they thought was theirs. True Son, his white name John, learned that he was born in Pennsylvania and his family was waiting for him.
He had a very difficult time adjusting to his new life. He felt like a prisoner in the house. All he could think of was what he learned growing up in the Indian life that whites were very violent. He felt that way when he met his Uncle Wilse who made it known that he didn’t trust or like him being there. He would argue with his uncle all the time.
True Son got real sick and the Minister said it was called the unknown fever that Indians got. When he was sick there was talk about two Indians in town looking for True Son. The towns people sent them to his uncle’s place, knowing that he hated the Indians and would take care of them. He did claim the life of one and the other one escaped. He found True Son and True Son was happy to see his cousin Half Arrow. Half Arrow told him about what his uncle did to Little Crane, they scalped him. They went to his uncles to get revenge that’s when True Son was feeling his mixed emotions. Half Arrow wanted to cut his heart out and when they started to scalped him they were interrupted by a hired hand so it didn’t happen. He was very confused at this point because he was told that the whites never hurt the children and he just learned that was not true.
I learned that the life styles of the Indians and Americans are very different. True Son learned that his Indian Family was not always right, and neither were the Americans. But he learned the hard way that your heart will lead you in the right direction to decisions that are hard to make.
