Explanation and Analysis:

The Chosen is written in a direct and energetic style. Throughout the novel, this style is reflected in the main characters' passion as they experience fierce debates over Jewish self-determination in the aftermath of World War II. In particular, Potok regularly utilizes long scenes of dialogue to invest the narrative with energy. These scenes of dialogue are often very argumentative between characters with opposing religious worldviews.
