The Friendship Between Danny And Reuven

A friend can be defined as someone who has feelings of affection for another. In The Chosen, by Chaim Potok, various friendships impact several people. Danny and Reuven’s friendship influenced both young men in different ways. Their friendships sculpted the rest of their life in many different aspects. If Danny had not befriended Reuven, he most likely would never have experienced a life outside of Hasidism. If Reuven did not befriend Danny, he may have always hated Hasid, and never really understood them. If Billy and Reuven were not friends, Billy would not have a friend close to his age in the hospital to comfort him and encourage him. Different friendships in the book influence Danny, Reuven and Billy in numerous ways.
