Since the beginning of time, humans have endeavored to express their thoughts to other humans. Early on, humans may have expressed their thoughts through only body language and primitive grunts; however, as civilization progressed, humans developed intelligible language. From development of that early language, written language was sprouted. From some development of that written language, other forms of communication came into being. Today, many forms of communication exist; however, all of them center around verbal communication. In Chaim Potok’s critically acclaimed novel, The Chosen, verbal communication, or the lack thereof, is a main theme. The lack of communication, silence, in The Chosen is used by Potok not only to show the suffering of his characters but also to symbolize the struggles of the Jewish people.

He develops his message by illustrating the specific life changing events the author has gone through, such as when he was “Liberated a day earlier by American soldiers…” (par. 2) which makes him credible enough to speak confidently about the subject at hand. In addition, Wiesel also by using the line “When adults wage war, children perish.” he creates a shocking moment of realization and a heavier mood so people realize that being indifferent had great repercussions. Lastly, the author creates awareness to the gravity of not caring about major genocides happening worldwide. “[T]wo world wars, countless civil wars, [and] a senseless chain of assassinations…” (par. 5) are what he touched on and wanted to make a point of.
