Summary: Culture Conflict
Review: The book was interesting because it was a conflict between two cultures. John Camero Butler was adopted by Cuyloga and Quaquenga. They changed his name to True Son. He was raised by Indians and thought he belonged to their culture. He was forced to go back to his real parents, which he didn't like.

They were the opposite of the Indians. When he went to live with them, he thought that many of the things his father did weren't manly.He didn't like the clothes because they belonged to a cousin he wasn't very fond of. In the end, he makes a crucial decision and ends up alone. He's disgraced from the Indians and his real parents don't want him.

Summary: Caught between two worlds
Review: I have been reading this book, and I would recommend reading it. This adventure takes place in the 18th Century America. It is the story of a teenager who recently, is brought back to his real parents. This book tells the point of view from two sides. One being the indians, and the other being the white men.

A 15 year old by the name of John Butler, had been taken and raised by the indians. He was taken at the age of four by Cuyloga ,an indian, in replace of his dead son. Being taken under the wing of an indian he had been giving the name True Son. For most of his life he had been told to hate the white men. Now eleven years after becoming adopted, True son has been returned to his birth family. On his adventure he is caught between two worlds of which he has been a part of both. True Son is forced to try and make sense of his being.

Summary: Light in the Forest
Review: The Light in the Forest is an exciting story about about a boy that was adopted by the Indians. The kid was only 15 yrs old, and hes real name is John Butler, but hes Indian name was True Son. He was forced to go back with his real parents(white people) which he didn't like because there culture was different. He thought that every white people wans't manly because how they eat, sleep, and eat. He didn't like his father because he wasn't manyl, and thought that people was crazy because they talk with things ( or when they look at the sky and talk to God).The novel it's a point about the pride of our American liberties, and forgot that already lost a good civilization.

Review: For the most part I think this book is good but in a few parts it really threw me off, kinda confusing. Light in the Forest has ot do with this 15 year old boy who had been raised as an indian which he was not. He was pretty much the opposite of Indian. The boy soon was forced to return with his original parents. He was to act nothing like an Indian but he couldn't it was difficult in his part. The book really had expressions that would make you think "What if you were in his shoes?", "How would i feel?", it really made me think about it. I would really recommend for someone to the time to read it.

Summary: A great book with irony and more!
Review: This story conveys into the reader a feeling that once you
finished the first chapter you want to know the resolution. From
the beginnig you get hooked on this book as if you were addicted to wanting to continue. John Butler, the main charcter in this book, was adopted and raised from a very short age by an indian tribe. He was raised from childhood to adolescence by this tribe. Prior to this time, he grew up believing he was part of an indian family, but it never came to his mind that his true family were white. The life of John Butler, who was known as True Son by the indian tribe, changed dramatically when he was returned to his true family, the white men. He seemed somewhat rebellious due to the fact that he was taught to be an indian so it was tough for him to actually blend in. To one point he wanted to kill the whites. True Son refused to be what he was meant to be instead of what he was raised to be. This is somewhat ironic, not wanting to be with your true family after living almost the first fifteen years without them. As the story unfolded, the bigger the intensity got. Living the life of something your not is hard. Trying to change the past is even harder. This really is a great story.

Summary: A good Book
Review: Was this book based on a true story? It was very realistic. The way he was raised by Indians and grew up to hate his on race was really weird. I dont think he really got to liking himself for that. At the end he was disowned by both, the Indiands and his own family, for being more than he is(Indian and White).
