Silence in "The Chosen"

Chaim Potok uses various types of silence in The Chosen. He uses many of them to promote the character's beliefs and emotions. Silence helps enhance the power of image and emotion and deepen the time. All silence also helps clarify information through the story and make them more clear and more sophisticated. The use of silence by Chaim Potok will help explain the sadness and anxiety of the anti-Zionist Hasidic Federation (led by Reb Saunders) in the bloody battle of Palestine.

Just as "people hear when silent" is the technology of choice, it explores the idea of ​​John Cage to promote the opposite between silence and noise. John Cage (1912-1992) was an American writer and artist focusing on silence, its nature, and how to incorporate it into composition. His most famous work is '4' 33 '(4:34) created in 1952.

By studying this configuration and studying the sounds you listen in silence, I came to the conclusion that there is no physical silence, and there is always a completely hidden element like the surrounding sound . silence

Although sound and atmosphere tend to be overlooked, it can not be separated from architecture. "Silence" means that there is no sound at all. For this reason, the technique "sounds that sound quiet" emphasizes sounds that can be heard in a quiet environment. John Cage used this strategy for "4'33" or "4 minutes 33 seconds", but the focus changed from performers on stage to ambient sounds (John Cage, etc.) that sounds throughout the room I will. This work leaves uncertainty and opportunities The simplicity of this concept makes it compelling and can make music any kind of music John Cage's 1937 article (The Future of Music: Creed) "No matter where we are, what we mainly hear is noise, ignoring it, it will confuse us
