Throughout the book “The Chosen” by Chaim Potok the author writes about how two Jewish boys are raised. One having a strict father who does not allow him to have his own mind and the other father being acceptable of what his son does. This book surprisingly has a key similarity to an article titled‚ “Should Parents Monitor Their Children’s Social Media.” Both the book and the article struggle with whether or not parents should censor what their children are doing. In “The Chosen” the father of one of

After this interview‚ Rubenstein stated‚ “If I believed in God as the omnipotent author of the historical drama and Israel as His Chosen People‚ I had to accept Dean Gruber’s conclusion that it was God’s will that Hitler committed six million Jews to slaughter. I could not possibly believe in such a God nor could I believe in Israel as the chosen people of God after Israel.” Rubenstein believes that God would never commit such crime against the Jews and rejects the Judeo-Christian perspective

This type of language is present throughout the novel‚ although its importance is obscure until the novel’s resolution. Silence is alternately frightening‚ confusing‚ warm‚ and welcome‚ but it always leads to introspection‚ allowing
