Bruno is the main character in ‘The Boy and The Striped Pajamas’ we first meet him on page one, chapter one, but we start to learn about Bruno's personality more on page four of the book. Bruno is also is quite naive at times in the book in general and on what is going at Out-With. This is a shock to me as his father is a powerful Commandant so I would think Bruno would have a lot of tuition on what was the Fury’s (Hitler’s) plan for the future of Germany, or at least at child friendly version.…

Furthermore, the topic of ‘planning and budgeting’ can be compared to the story of Moses and the Second Census of Israel in The Book of Numbers, Chapter 26:1-7. The story states that “the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saying, Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, from twenty years old and upward, throughout their fathers’ house, all that are able to go to war in Israel…and they that were numbered were forty and three thousand and…

If they did not do this their…

the Assyrian Empire invaded ancient Israel, the Hebrew people were surrounded by mostly polytheistic traditions (Perry, Marvin et al., 2016, 34). As a result, the Hebrews had to modify their culture to accommodate their circumstances. Even though Judaism is an old monotheistic religion that is comprised of Jews who exclusively worships one God, the early Hebrew people, however, did not observe monotheism. Instead, the Hebrews most likely developed a distinct form of monolatrism. The fact of the…

In Chapter three and four of Exodus, Moses has an encounter with God. God appears before Moses in the form of a burning bush to give him a mission; he is to go to Egypt to talk to Pharaoh about releasing the Israelites from slavery in the land. This passage is significant, because it establishes the employing of Moses to speak for God to both the Pharaoh and the Israelites. The commission that Moses is given in this passage is what leads to the Exodus, the giving of the Law at Mt. Sinai, and the…

These tribes were eventually united under King Saul. He helped solve conflicts between the tribes that were caused by them being separated. Israel was the first ever united kingdom.

In Venice, Jews have had a history of tolerance and rejection in the 16th-century Venetian society. According to Jewish Venice, “Jews were allowed to come to Venice for money-lending activities but were not allowed permanent residents permits.” Originally, Jews were allowed to inhabit in Venice in 1385 for the reason that the city was at war and needed loans from the Jewish money-lenders. Nevertheless, they were eventually expelled from Venice and were placed to live in ghettos with add-on…

the disciples. Jesus had foresee that the Second Temple would be destroyed by fire just like the First temple. Whereas, the erection of the Second Temple would start legitimately in 521 and would be completed in 516. Notwithstanding the fact that it was built on the identical site as the First Temple, under the same dimensions, there was still one significant difference between the two. While the First Temple stood in adjacent to the king’s palace making it seem like his private house of…
