In the beginning when I broke my hand after the game; my mom took me to the doctor. While, we’re going to the doctor I was thinking about the future and how things will be but, I remembered a part in the quote that said “everything happens for a reason.” I had taken x-rays so, the doctor could decide what he was going to do. He said that I needed to have surgery and I wasn’t surprised. He said that surgery starts in a week. So, the next day I had gone to school with a hard cast over my hand.

    The Chosen, the novel by Chaim Potok follows the lives of two Jewish boys, Danny Malter and Reuven Saunders, set in Brooklyn, New York, during the time of World War II. A common paradoxical theme found in this novel is that through one’s loss there is also one’s gain.
