Journal of Interdisciplinary Undergraduate Research
"Go, marry a promiscuous woman and have children with her, for like an adulterous wife this land is guilty of unfaithfulness to the Lord” (Hosea 1:2). The message of Hosea is provocative. For this very reason, the biblical book of Hosea has frustrated and intrigued scholars for over two millennia. Scholarly debate has raged due to the implications the text has for the character of God and His prophet, and the ways in which God interacts with His people. It cannot, however, be claimed that the discussion has been concluded; “from centuries of critical debate only one consensus on the …

Exposing The Real Enemy: The German People’S Fear Of Exploration In The Boy In The Striped Pajamas, John Shoemaker
Journal of Interdisciplinary Undergraduate Research
This essay critically and rhetorically analyzes the persuasive use of words in Mark Herman’s film, “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas,” which centers on a highly unlikely friendship between a well-to-do German boy and Jewish boy in a concentration camp. The controversy surrounding the film—specifically the rare and unpopular viewpoint of a German family’s experiences during World War II—prompted a further in-depth analysis of the film’s meaning. While Herman takes a unique viewpoint, I suggest that the film moves beyond the portrayal of a family unit and actually gives an explanation and object to blame for …
