The Chosen is a phenomenal book so far. In this novel‚ I can really appreciate Chaim Potok’s creative mind. I find it so interesting how hate can turn to friendship. I also find it interesting that two Jews living in the same area can hate each other. How do two young men who come from similar backgrounds…hate each other? The author does a wonderful job of explaining how they do not believe in exactly the same things‚ but indeed are similar. Danny’s family is more “traditional” while Reuven’s family

Silence is the lack of audible sound or presence of sounds of very low intensity. By analogy‚ the word silence can also refer to any absence of communication or hearing‚ including in media other than speech and music. Chaim Potok’s working title for The Chosen could may have been A Time for Silence. 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

Given this‚ Solomon argues that the term ‘love’ is so elastic and politicized that it has become a broad generalization of a subjective idea and that in fact‚ it has no real boundaries. He attempts to classify types of love by identifying the chosen object of the lover and the attributes of the relationship. He does finally distinguish romantic love from various other types by noting that it contains sexual‚ reciprocal‚ personal‚ and shared components. Still‚ Solomon must conclude that images

tremendous friends I could ever ask for. I can talk to them about anything‚ or not say anything at all. We support each other in what the other does. We can be apart for so long but when we see each other again‚ it’s like they never left. I think that friendship is more essential than romantic love. You have the comforts that only a best friend can give you‚ the care and concern from friends‚ and even if you lose or grow apart from a friend‚ it can help you become a better friend. I found

chose the term friendship but contemplated with choosing the term addiction from the list‚ in my opinion friendship is much harder to define. I believe everyone has their own version of what friendship is‚ thus the reason why it is so hard to define. The word “friend” and the suffix “-ship” makes up the word friendship. By definition “friend” means “a person whom you share a bond of mutual affection for”‚ and “-ship” is just a suffix for nouns. Once added together to create “friendship”‚ the definition

The Chosen Wolf‚ Adonis‚ stood overlooking the city as the brisk wind struck him in the face. The snow was so freezing that it felt like there were needles puncturing him with every step. He could see his breath in the chilly air around him. This was very outlandish to him‚ as he had come from a different world. He was from the planet of Takondwa. On this planet‚ the sun’s rays felt like hot coals scorching his fur coat. As the wolf was thinking about this‚ he realized he was getting too caught up
