Is there a specific event related to 'night' and 'Edison' in the novel?

As of now, we don't know of any particular event related to the real story. But it might be that the songwriter witnessed something during a night journey, like a group of friends having an impromptu celebration by the roadside at night, and that sense of joy and spontaneity found its way into the song.

There's no one specific event directly related to the origin of French toast. It was more about practicality in dealing with stale bread over time.

Yes, there could be. It was likely developed within the military context over time. As military practices evolved, so did the need for specific bugle calls like taps. It may not be tied to one single historical event, but rather to the overall development of military signaling systems.

Well, in the novel, the night could be a symbol related to Edison in many ways. If the novel is about the development of technology, the night might signify the period of ignorance before Edison's inventions. His work on things like the light bulb could be seen as bringing an end to the 'night' of darkness in a metaphorical sense. Also, the night could be a time when the characters in the novel think about Edison's impact on their lives, like how his inventions have changed the way they spend their evenings.

Not really. The song 'Danny Boy' seems more to be a product of the Irish musical and cultural tradition. It reflects the emotions of the Irish people over time, such as the pain of separation which was common in their history due to things like poverty and the need to seek a better life elsewhere. But no single historical event can be pinpointed as the origin.

There might be. Some historians think that the economic hardships and social unrest in medieval England could have given rise to the basic idea of Robin Hood. The heavy taxation on the poor by the rich nobles could be seen as a backdrop for the 'steal from the rich, give to the poor' concept.

Yes, it might be related to a historical event. Maybe in a war, a lone soldier made a rush that was unplanned but had a big impact on the battle. For example, during a siege, a single soldier might have rushed the enemy lines on his own, changing the course of the battle. This would be a very specific event in military history.

It's possible that there was a charity event at Walmart in connection with Blake Shelton's 'Based on a True Story'. For example, a portion of the sales of the album or related merchandise at Walmart could be going towards a charity that Blake Shelton supports, and this event was organized to promote both the album and the good cause.

Historical fiction with Thomas Edison as the subject could tell stories from different perspectives, maybe from the viewpoint of his assistants or rivals. It might also incorporate fictional events that could have potentially happened during his time and work.

It could have been a mysterious encounter or a sudden twist. Hard to say exactly without more context.
