Next, the context of the story. The author based The Light In The Forest of some actual people from the past. For example he wrote about the Paxton boys. The Paxton boys murdered a couple of Native Americans which this event is also known as the Conestoga Massacre. He also wrote about some Indian villages. The author did include some historical event like the Conestoga Massacre which I metioned already and I think that the Pontiac 's war may have been in the story. The Light In The Forest was written in Pennslyvania during the year 1953. I don 't believe anythng that was going on in society during the novel was written had anything to do with the story.
