Wisdom, a trait that many strive for and some gain. Jimi Hendrix once said “Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens.” This quote exhibits itself through some characters in particular in The Chosen, a book written by Chaim Potok.

Heroes are found in every corner of this universe.

Arthur Radley is the phantom of a small 1930 Alabama…
