The Choosen
The Chosen, a novel written by Chaim Potok, revolves mainly around the lives of four people. They include Reuven Malter, Mr. Malter, Reb Saunders and Danny Saunders. It mainly details the friendship between Reuven Malter and Danny Saunders and not as much around their fathers, Mr. Malter and Reb Saunders. Because the story revolves around the friendship of Reuven and Danny, I will focus on Reuven. The story takes place in Brooklyn around the time of World War II. Reuven Malter lives with his father in an apartment in Brooklyn. They live in a Hasidic and Orthodox area, with some Irish, German, and Spanish families. Most of the buildings around were three or four story brownstones. According to the book, only a few stores in the area were owned by Orthodox Jews. The rest were run by gentiles. Reuven lives in a world that is just out of the depression and World War II, and we, up until September eleventh, lived in a world which was different than his world. We were in a peaceful and prosperous time, while Reuven was in a world where the economy was only beginning to recover and the war was only just ending. Now we are at a time where our economy is not booming and we are gearing up for war.
