3. Chaim Potok uses short sentences and a lot of dialogue. By using the dialogues it is made clear to the reader what the opinions of the characters are. The story in itself is also easy to understand, so I don’t think it’s necessary to reread the story. What intrigues me very much is the history and motives of the Hasidic Jews. They see themselves as the Chosen People of God and as a consequence they have to suffer and live very hard. On the one hand I think it’s repulsive, on the other hand I admire them. They have chosen to form a very specific group of Jews. They reject an own state, their own promised land. They have really chosen to suffer pain, every day. They‘ve accepted Hitler and two thousand years of persecution as a sort of punishment or act of God. They are resolute in waiting for the Messiah. How do they keep it up? I am very curious about all that and I will definitely read more about it.

Mr. Saunders:Danny’s father and the Rabbi of the Hassidic Jewish Congregation. He firmly believes that the Messiah will come and refuses to speak to his son. In this way he tries to develop Danny’s soul. When he finds out that Reuven and his father are both Zionists he forbids his son to see Reuven. In the end he regrets this act and apologizes to Reuven and his father. Personally I think it horrible to bring up your child in not speaking to him. It struck me even more when Reuven’s father asked Danny if he would raise his child in the same way, Danny confirmed this.
