Response Journal
To The Student
Although we may read a novel, play, or work of non-fiction for enjoyment,
each time we read one, we are building and practicing important basic reading
skills. In our ever-more complex society, in which reading has become more
and more crucial for success, this, in itself, is an important reason to spend time
reading for enjoyment.
Some readers, however, are able to go beyond basic reading techniques and
are able to practice higher thinking skills by reflecting on what they have read
and how what they read affects them. It is this act of reflection–that is, stopping to think about what you are reading–that this journal is attempting to
encourage.
To aid you, we have included writing prompts for each section; however, if
you find something that you wish to respond to in the book more compelling
than our prompts, you should write about that. We hope you enjoy reading
this book and that the act of responding to what you have read increases this
enjoyment.
After you read the indicated sections, choose the questions to which you
will respond. Keep in mind that there are no right or wrong answers to these
prompts, and there is no one direction in which you must go.

The Hiding Place
Preface
1.
In the preface, John and Elizabeth Sherrill speak of how practical Corrie
ten Boom’s memories have been, how they helped them deal with real
problems and events in their own lives. Corrie’s response to this was that
“…this is what the past is for! Every experience God gives us, every person
He puts in our lives is the perfect preparation for the future that only He
can see.” Do you agree or disagree with Corrie’s philosophy concerning
the past? Write a letter to someone close to you that discusses a time in
the past that has helped you deal with something in your present.
2.
The preface tells the reader that The Hiding Place is the tale of Corrie ten
Boom, a woman who exhibited incredible faith and courage amidst the
suffering of the Holocaust. In a paragraph or two, write down everything
you already know about the Holocaust. As you read The Hiding Place, refer
to your list for confirmation of known facts and to add information that
you learn.
3.
There are several historical and social references in the preface: the Iron
Curtain, Vietnam, communism, and Nazism. Look up these terms online
or in an encyclopedia and jot down a few significant facts about each.
As you read about these references, other terms may crop up that have
similar themes—anti-semitism, for example, or genocide. Develop your
own vocabulary list from these terms based on things you would like to
know about the Holocaust and similar events.

Response Journal
Chapter 1
4.
In Chapter 1, Corrie describes one particular day as “…a day for
memories. A day for calling up the past. How could we have guessed as
we sat there—two middle-aged spinsters and an old man—that in place
of memories we were about to be given adventure such as we had never
dreamed of? Adventure and anguish, horror and heaven were just around
the corner, and we did not know.”
Reflect back on a time that turned out to be one of those “if I had only
known then what I know now” moments. This could be a time when you
made a decision that later had bad effects or simply a time in your life
that was later marked by contrast with a change in circumstances. Use
this memory to offer advice to someone else. If there was something you
could have done differently, what was it? Do you have any regrets? Write
a couple of paragraphs explaining this situation.
5.
Corrie describes the oddities of her house with affection. It is obvious
that the Beje is her home, and despite its age and its tilting floors, she
loves it. Pretend your own house is on the market for sale. The real estate
agent has asked you to describe, in writing, what things you love most
about the house. What things about it make it special and make it home?
This information will appear in the listing that the real estate agent is
creating.
6.
Pickwick is introduced in this chapter, and Corrie describes how, while
children are drawn to her father, they tend to shy away from Pickwick
because of his appearance. He is described by Corrie as “dear ugly
Pickwick.”
Our society, sadly enough, is very caught up in appearances. We tend to
make judgments about people based on what they look like. Models in
fashion magazines, for example, tend to represent unrealistic and, at times,
unhealthy ideals for beauty. Write a letter to the editor of a teen fashion
magazine and discuss the importance of looking beyond appearance
to who a person really is underneath. Ask the editor to consider using
“real” people as models, instead of the fashionably stick-thin, airbrushed
beauty.

The Hiding Place
Chapter 2
7.
We see some sibling rivalry in Chapter 2 when Corrie comments that
“…Nollie was different from me; she was pretty and well-behaved and
always had her handkerchief.” In a few paragraphs, discuss an instance or
instances of sibling rivalry in your own life. After doing so, switch your
perspective and discuss the same instance(s) from your sibling’s point of
view. How did the telling of the event or the emotions involved change?
8.
Corrie tells us that Tante Bep “with her perpetual, disapproving scowl,
was the oldest of the aunts and the one we children liked least. For
thirty years she had worked as a governess in wealthy families and she
continually compared [their] behavior with that of the young ladies and
gentlemen she was used to.” This is a fairly unflattering description,
although obvious love for her family radiates from Corrie’s recollections.
Consider your own family and select a member who, while dearly loved,
has some obvious and sometimes entertaining character traits or flaws.
Create, as Corrie did, a written caricature of this relative in a paragraph or
two.
9.
Corrie’s father places a high value on education. Although he had had to
quit school early to go to work in the watch shop, he was self-taught in
such subjects as theology, history, and literature—in five languages, no
less. Discuss your own theories regarding education. Do you feel it is as
important as Mr. ten Boom did? Do you think it is more important for
some people than for others? Are there any reforms you feel would benefit
our educational system today? Explain your ideas in a petition you write
for educational reform that is addressed to your school Principal.
10. When Corrie innocently asks her father about “sexsin” he provides an
analogy for the burden of knowledge by asking young Corrie to carry his
traveling case, packed heavily with his watches and spare parts, off of the
train. When Corrie attempts to do so and learns that it is simply too heavy
a load for her to bear, her father tells her that knowledge is much the
same—that there are some things that would prove burdensome in their
clarity. How can knowledge be a burden?
Write a fable illustrating the burden of knowledge. Fables should be brief,
should include animal characters, and should relate a moral lesson.

Response Journal
Chapter 3
11. In Chapter 3, we learn a bit about love and infatuation in Holland during
the time period described in the book. Karel, the object of Corrie’s
devotion, appears in this chapter, and although he is quite a bit older and
appears unaware of her, it is enough, Corrie tells us, to merely be in the
same room as he is. Her sister Nollie, rather, is the one used to getting
attention from males. A standard method of declaring affection at this
time was for a boy to request a lock of hair from the girl of his dreams.
Unimpressed, Nollie’s usual response to such a request was to “…pull a
few strands from the ancient gray carpet in [their] bedroom, tie them with
a sentimental blue ribbon, and make [Corrie] the messenger.”
Reflect on how courtship methods in the decades since have changed
and write a newspaper or magazine column offering advice on gaining
someone’s attention and declaring your affection.
12. The ten Boom household changes significantly when it is discovered that
Tante Bep has tuberculosis. Look up the disease in an encyclopedia or
online and familiarize yourself with its symptoms.
Then, take on the persona of the doctor who has had the bad fortune
to diagnose Tante Bep. Write a letter to the ten Boom family, explaining
carefully how Tante Bep’s illness might progress and expressing your
condolences for the loss they are certain to suffer.
13. When Corrie comments on Tante Bep’s seeming unhappiness with her
situation, Mama reveals that Bep has always expressed dissatisfaction
with her current lot in life, whatever it may be. She says, “Happiness isn’t
something that depends on our surroundings, Corrie. It’s something we
make inside ourselves.” Respond to this statement in writing by discussing
examples that either prove or disprove it.

The Hiding Place
14. Tante Jans, when faced with the knowledge that she has approximately
three weeks to live, demonstrates remarkable strength and graciousness
of spirit. Despite her preoccupation with death during much of her life,
she looks to her own death with courage and practicality, stating, “I’m not
going to leave an untidy desk behind for someone else to clean up,” Write
a eulogy for Tante Jans as one of her family members might have done.
15. Upon observing the beginning of a romance between Corrie and Karel,
Willem reveals to Corrie that Karel’s parents have long since decided that
he must marry well, and tells her that she should not expect a proposal.
Although Corrie is crushed, she has difficulty believing that Karel, a
grown man, could deny his own feelings in favor of his mother’s plans.
Even though he ultimately does exactly that, pretend that the opposite is
true.
Imagine that you are Karel, and you have decided that you must follow
your heart and propose to Corrie. First, however, you must overcome the
hurdle that is your mother. Naturally, you are a bit nervous at the prospect
of facing her with your decision, and so you decide to write a practice
speech ahead of time. In your practice speech, list the reasons you have
decided to go against your mother’s plan for your future and anticipate
whatever arguments she might raise in return.
16. Toward the end of Chapter 3, Karel brings his fiancée to meet the ten
Booms, and although Corrie valiantly manages to stifle her true feelings,
she is bitterly disappointed. Read back over pages 44-45, which reveal
Corrie’s heartbreak and the manner in which she triumphs over it. Then
choose one of the following prompts.
A. Compose a diary entry that Corrie might have written at this time,
including her father’s wise advice and Corrie’s resulting prayer.
B. Although Corrie shows remarkable dignity in her acceptance of
Karel’s decision, she is still suffering. Write a letter to Karel from
Corrie expressing her disillusionment. This letter should convey
Corrie’s dignified, gentle spirit and her acceptance of the way things
are, but should also provide a release for her feelings.
10
Response Journal
Chapter 4
17. One ten Boom tradition spoken of is that of the older woman counseling
the younger woman on the eve of her wedding. Corrie says that “one could
no more have got married without it than one could have dispensed with
the ring.” Since her mother is unable, Tante Anna delivers “the talk.” All
families have traditions or rituals of some sort. In a letter, invite a friend
to participate in one such family ritual or tradition. Describe the tradition,
and give a few reasons why your friend should participate.
18. In this chapter, Betsie becomes ill and so it happens that she and Corrie
must switch household responsibilities until she gets better. Corrie takes
over the work in the shop, including watch repair, while Betsie takes care
of the household affairs. They soon discover that they have been splitting
up the work backwards their entire lives. Corrie loves the work in the
watch shop, while Betsie is far more suited to running a household.
Make a list of all of the different types of responsibilities that need to
be taken care of around your house. Beside each one, write the name
of the person in your family who you believe is best suited to carrying
out that task due to some aspect of his or her personality. Explain why
you have made the choices you made in a brief paragraph by describing
the personalities of each person, and what you feel their strengths and
weaknesses might be.
19. Corrie surprises herself by discovering a talent for watch repair. Three
years after her mother’s death she becomes, in fact, the first licensed
woman watchmaker in Holland—no small accomplishment. Write a onepage essay that you might use for a resume or a college application that
describes your own accomplishments, talents, and goals for the future.
11
The Hiding Place
20. You may have noticed by this point in the novel that Corrie tends to
mark the passage of time with references to deaths, marriages, and other
momentous occasions. In writing, construct a timeline that shows such
important events in your own life. For each event that you use on your
timeline, you should write a sentence or two that describes or explains the
event.
21. Corrie and her family are shocked and dismayed to see Christoffels treated
poorly by Otto, the intern, simply because he is old. Willem tells his sister
and father the harsh truth of the new power in their country: that the
old and weak are not respected and in fact have but one purpose—to be
eliminated. How are the elderly treated in our nation? In an email, ask
your teacher to organize a field trip to an area nursing home. Your email
should explain why you think this would be a good trip to take and should
offer some specific suggestions for things you might do on this visit, such
as establishing an elderly pen pal arrangement or something similar.

Chapter 5
22. At the beginning of this chapter, Corrie is awakened by the sounds of
Germany’s invasion of Holland. Imagine yourself in a similar situation,
and suppose that you must get the news of the invasion to a family
member who is out of the country. Write a telegram message that explains
what is happening and warns your family member to stay away. Telegrams
charge by the word. So your message must be fewer than 15 words long.
23. As the occupation of Holland gains momentum and power, the ten Booms
begin seeing differences in how their news is reported. There is a bias in
favor of the Germans, designed to break the spirits of the Dutch and keep
them firmly under Germany’s oppression. Pretend that you have made
the difficult, dangerous decision to create and distribute an underground
newspaper that will report real, factual news and that will also help keep
people safe. Write an article for the first issue of this newspaper, describing
what its purpose will be and how it will safely be distributed. Use real
events that Corrie has spoken of in previous chapters to give it realism.
24. Corrie tells us in this chapter about the mysterious disappearance of
various individuals at different times. “A watch, repaired and ready,
hanging on its hook in the back of the shop, month after month. A house
in Nollie’s block mysteriously deserted, grass growing in the rose garden.
One day Mr. Kan’s shop up the street did not open. Father knocked on his
door as we passed that noon, to see if someone were ill, but there was no
answer.” Write a found poem about any of these disappearances. A found
poem is one in which all of the words are “found” somewhere else—in this
case in The Hiding Place. You may take words from any place in the book
and rearrange them to suit your poem. Add your own words as necessary
to convey your meaning. Use capital letters to indicate which words are
“found.” An example might be:
WATCH
REPAIRED AND READY
But not collected.
JEWS WILL NOT BE SERVED.
When does it end?
NAZISM …
A DISEASE.
13
The Hiding Place
25. When the soldiers come to take some of the Jews away, Corrie’s father looks
with pity not at the Jews, but at the Germans, because, as he says, “They
have touched the apple of God’s eye.” Have you ever given forgiveness and
understanding to someone who clearly did not deserve it?
Pretend you are an advice columnist and have to give someone advice on
responding to a similar situation. Write a column describing your beliefs
on this subject and explain why it might be better to forgive than to hold
a grudge.
26. Corrie’s actions as they relate to the Jews and other people in jeopardy are
certainly selfless. She prays that God will use her in any way, shape, or
form, at any time, regardless of the danger to herself. She has had what
she calls a waking dream in which she and her family are taken away from
Haarlem and all that is safe and secure. The realness of the dream frightens
her, and yet she continues to put herself in danger to help other people.
Most of us have had similar “waking dreams” that seem real. When we
awaken, we wonder for a moment if the events really happened, or if
perhaps they are a warning of what is to happen. Write an entry for a
“dream journal” that records the most vivid dream that you can remember
having. How did you feel when you awakened?
14
Response Journal
Chapter 6
27. Peter stuns his family when he defiantly plays Holland’s national anthem
in church, bringing the church congregation to its feet to sing the
forbidden words. Pretend that you are in the same circumstances and have
been forbidden to say the pledge of allegiance to the flag or to sing your
country’s national anthem. Write a letter to a friend in a foreign country,
describing how you feel about this.
28. In this chapter, the secret room, the hiding place, is built into Corrie’s
bedroom. The addition of this room, of course, makes everything the
ten Booms are doing even riskier than before. Pretend that you live in
Holland at this time and you have decided that you would like to be a
part of this same underground. Write a note that will be sent to the leader
of the underground network describing your willingness to help, your
understanding of the risk involved, and the skills and abilities you would
be able to bring to the cause.
29. Imagine that you are one of the people being hidden away in the twoand-a-half foot wide space in Corrie’s bedroom. How would you entertain
yourself if you had to remain hidden for any great length of time? How
would you pass the time spent cooped up in such a small space? Pretend
that this occurred more recently in history and that you have been able to
smuggle a wireless laptop computer into your hiding place. By chance, you
are able to instant message a friend or relative during your confinement.
Write out the instant message conversation that might take place at such
a time. Be careful not to drop any clues as to your exact location—that
might get your hosts in danger!
15
The Hiding Place
Chapter 7
30. At the beginning of Chapter 7, we see that necessities, such as shoes, have
become so scarce that Nollie has to potentially stand in line all day in
order to get a pair. Think of our own society, and the absolute wealth of
things that we both possess and have access to.
If you were in a wartime occupation situation, and such things became
scarce, what do you think you could manage to do without? Write a list
of ten items that are extremely important to you. Beside each item, explain
why that item is so special. Then number the items from one to ten, ten
meaning “I could possibly do without it” and one meaning “I could not
survive without this item.”
31. The instructions that Corrie passes along to Mietje regarding her son and
his escape are thorough and exact. Imagine that you are a member of this
underground network and are responsible for setting up rendezvous of
this nature. Write a set of directions that you might pass along to help
someone get out of dangerous territory.
32. The ten Booms, by the end of this chapter, have begun taking in
“orphans”—the ones refused by other members of the underground
because they are too dangerous for some reason or another. Corrie calls
these people her family. What does the word family mean to you? Write a
poem using FAMILY as the subject.
16
Response Journal
Chapter 8
33. The ten Booms experience a close call when Otto, Captain Altschuler,
arrives for an unexpected visit. Although it turns out well, they are all
shaken by the event. Write an article for an adventure magazine describing
a close call you have had. If you have never actually experienced a brush
with danger or the like, create a fictional account for the article.
34. When Corrie receives a summons to go to the police chief’s office, she
prepares for the worst case scenario by packing a “prison bag,” filled with
a Bible, a pencil, needle and thread, soap, toothbrush, and comb. If you
suspected that you were going to be imprisoned somewhere for a length
of time and were allowed to pack one bag, what would you pack? Create
a list of the contents of your bag, and explain why you would choose each
item.
35. Corrie learns that the police chief is, in fact, working with the underground
just as she is, and he trusts her with the information that there is an
informant working against him and others within the police department.
The only solution, the chief says, is to have the man killed, and he asks
Corrie for the name of an individual who might be able to rid them of
their problem. Although Corrie understands the danger, and agrees that
the man must be silenced, she tells the chief that she believes she is here
to save lives instead of ending them, and suggests a prayer instead. How
difficult do you think it was for her to make this decision, to put her future
and that of the underground in the hands of faith?
Have you ever had to rely solely on faith to get you through a difficult
situation or predicament? Pretend you have been working on your
memoirs, like Corrie’s The Hiding Place, and you have had such an
experience. Write a short outline of one chapter in your memoirs that
deals with the subject of faith in difficult times.
17
The Hiding Place
Chapter 9
36. The downfall of the Beje begins when Corrie trusts the wrong person
seeking help. Although she is troubled by the fact that he cannot meet her
eyes, she makes the choice to believe his tale, and thus the underground
in Haarlem is discovered and arrested. If she had known the tell-tale signs
of lying, perhaps she would not have been taken in by the man’s story.
Pretend you are a psychologist trained to tell when a person is lying.
You have been asked to present this information to an audience of police
officers. Most of us think we can determine when a person is lying. Make
a list of things you feel would lead you to believe someone is not being
truthful.
37. Mr. ten Boom quotes scripture from memory in place of the regular Bible
reading after his arrest. The scripture he chooses is appropriate in light
of their circumstances: “Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope
in Thy word.…Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe.…” The ten Booms
found their safety and security in God’s word, calling it a “hiding place”
and trusting in it to keep them safe and whole. What is your main “hiding
place”? Write a paragraph that reveals your hiding place, or comfort, in
troubled times.
18
Response Journal
38. Corrie describes the day she, her father, Betsie, and the others are
transported at Grote Markt as “one of those radiant winter days when the
air seemed to shimmer with light.” The beauty of her description is at
odds with the terror of the moment—being taken away from all that is safe
and secure and delivered into a nightmare. It is evident that the author is
using the contrast of the imagery to highlight the frightening event. This is
a technique used fairly frequently in literature, although authors will also
use more complimentary imagery to underline such an occurrence—for
example, a thunderstorm in the midst of a heated argument.
In a couple of sentences, use imagery as Corrie did to describe a more
fitting setting for this moment.
39. Imagine that events of a similar nature have been taking place in modern
times, and an establishment that you are involved in had just been raided.
So far, the secret room in which you are hiding has not yet been discovered,
but you are able to clearly hear and imagine everything going on beyond
the walls of the secret room. Imagine that you have been faithfully keeping
a blog recording events of your concealment. Now, write a blog entry for
the raid that is occurring and your feelings during this time.
19
The Hiding Place
Chapter 10
40. As Corrie and the others are taken from place to place, line to line, and
interrogated, a Jew refuses to give up his purse and is beaten for it. Instead
of being outraged at the officers doing the beating, Corrie states, “Wildly,
unreasonably, I hated the man being kicked, hated him for being so
helpless and so hurt.” Have you ever been in a situation when you have,
like Corrie, despised someone’s weakness? Describe this time.
41. Once settled in her cell in Scheveningen, Corrie soon learns to fear, more
than anything else, that “prison boredom.” Why would boredom be feared
above all else? Write a paragraph that explains this idea.
42. Corrie’s cellmates show their ingenuity by creating a card game out of
toilet paper squares. Use your own creativity to come up with a way to
pass the time in a similar situation, using only the items that might be
found in your cell. Write a set of instructions for the next people who
occupy this cell that clearly identify the item or items used and show how
they are altered to create an activity or game to pass the time.
43. In Scheveningen Corrie risks the punishment of kalte kost, the bread
ration alone with nothing else, as well as other punishment to have the
four Gospels. The Gospels are a comfort to her, as well as a comfort she
shares with her cellmates, and to her they are worth the risk. Is there
anything in your life you would risk virtually anything for?
Pretend you are imprisoned and are able to get word to someone you trust
on the outside. If there was one item this person could smuggle in to you,
what would it be? Write a letter to this individual requesting this one item
and explaining what it means to you.
20
Response Journal
44. During Corrie’s imprisonment, she stumbles upon the realization that this
is part of God’s plan for her and others’ lives. She says, “if the Gospels were
truly the pattern of God’s activity, then defeat was only the beginning. I
would look around at the bare little cell and wonder what conceivable
victory could come from a place like this.” Think of either a book, movie,
or television program in which victory follows defeat. Write a review for
an entertainment magazine that refers to this victory from defeat and
describes the basic plot.
45. On April 15, 1944 Corrie celebrates her birthday alone in her solitary
prison cell by singing a child’s song. If you were alone on your birthday,
how would you mark the occasion? Write a paragraph describing how you
would do so.
21
The Hiding Place
Chapter 11
46. The Lieutenant is deceptive in appearance. On the surface he is like any
other agent of Hitler, while underneath he is a family man seeking truth
and understanding of the horrors he has witnessed. Pretend you are a
casting director for a movie version of The Hiding Place and are looking
for an actor to fill this role. Write a proposal for a particular actor to be
chosen, explaining why the man’s appearance would suit the role and
what his acting abilities would bring to the interpretation of the role.
47. The Lieutenant tells Corrie that while he appears to be a person of some
authority, he, too, is in prison. Explain in writing to another student what
this statement means.
48. The reunion between Corrie and her siblings is touching, because it
shows clearly their obvious devotion to each other. Pretend you have
been away from your family for a good length of time and have decided to
hold a family reunion to get everyone together again. Write an invitation
to attend this family reunion. Be sure to include a date, a location, and
any instructions for dress, bringing food or musical instruments, and the
like.
49. Nollie gives Corrie a Bible, for which she is very thankful, having just
given away her last remaining Gospel. Corrie has somehow managed
to find comfort in giving away her only comforts. How is this possible?
Explain this in a paragraph and provide an example from your own
experience if possible.
22
Response Journal
Chapter 12
50. Betsie’s outlook on her suffering and imprisonment is truly amazing.
Instead of cursing those who persecute her, she looks at the situation as
a way to teach love through example, saying that if these people can be
taught to hate, they can surely be taught to love. Imagine that Corrie and
Betsie make it safely out of Vught, and they are to be nationally recognized
for their work on the underground. Write a speech that highlights Betsie’s
belief in the goodness of man, and her conviction that she was sent to
serve hatred with love.
51. While Corrie is grateful here in Vught to be around people again, she
is also filled with sadness at their suffering. She refers to the situation
as a paradox. Look up the term paradox and explain the paradoxical
nature of this experience at Vught to someone in the class who does not
understand.
23
The Hiding Place
Chapter 13
52. The journey from Vught to Ravensbruck is horrific. Pretend you are one of
those crowded into the stifling confines of the boxcars. Write an account,
in less than one hundred words, of the journey on the notepad you have
smuggled in with you.
53. Imagine you are a German prison guard assigned to Ravensbruck.
Although you are German, the horrors you have witnessed have caused
you to place your sympathies with those imprisoned. Write a letter of
complaint to a higher-up, describing the poor conditions at Ravensbruck
and requesting reform.
54. Corrie and Betsie again risk much to hold nightly Bible readings in
Barracks 28. Pretend you are one of those living in Barracks 28 and write
a brief note to Corrie and Betsie expressing your gratitude for the nightly
readings, as they provide you with much comfort.
55. Betsie makes Corrie list the things she is thankful for at Ravensbruck,
from the crowded conditions that will help more people hear the Bible
each night to the biting fleas. Make a list to be read to your family on
Thanksgiving Day of all the things you have to be thankful for.
24
Response Journal
Chapter 14
56. Corrie finally understands exactly why she should be thankful for the
fleas, as they are what keep the guards away at night, making it possible
for Corrie and Betsie to hold their worship service. Can you apply this
lesson to your own life? Is there anything which, on the surface, you
might not be thankful for, but probably should be? Explain this idea in a
paragraph or two.
57. Betsie and Corrie come up with a plan for their lives after Ravesnbruck,
which includes caring for those people who have lost their homes and
livelihoods to the Holocaust. What is your plan for your future? Outline
a brief plan that includes major events in your future. You may wish to
include such things as getting a job, getting a promotion, getting married,
having children, taking a major trip, retiring, etc.
58. Corrie comes to a realization about herself while at Ravensbruck: while
she is selfish and self-centered, the power and ability to lend aid and love
comes not from herself, but from Christ. It is a simple fact that we are
all, by nature, self-centered and egocentric, more so at various points in
our lives. Write a journal entry that explores the part of yourself that is
selfish.
25
The Hiding Place
Chapter 15
59. Corrie sees in others an indifference that she calls a disease. Imagine
you are running for office and would like to address this problem in the
American people. In a speech, explain how indifference can be a disease,
and offer solutions for dealing with it.
60. Corrie’s Christmas Day is spent very differently from most of your own—
carrying bedpans to and fro and lying ill in a hospital. Contrast Corrie’s
Christmas with your own typical Christmas in the form of a few photo
captions that you might put on a scrapbook page.
61. Corrie’s journey home is filled with anticipation, hunger, and pain from
the edema in her legs. She has to switch trains frequently and spend long
intervals simply in waiting. An itinerary is a sort of schedule that details
the events of a trip—the modes of travel, the times and dates, the stops
that will be made, the activities that will be conducted. In the form of an
itinerary, describe a journey you have taken.
62. After returning home, Corrie and another woman start a home at
Bloemendaal to help care for those affected by the events of the war. One
of Corrie’s tasks is to request donations from those able to afford them.
Write a speech that Corrie might have made at a charity dinner requesting
donations.

Our Complete Teacher’s Kits Make Great
Literature Accessible to ALL Your Students
EACH STUDENT LEARNS HOW TO UNDERSTAND AND LOVE LITERATURE DIFFERENTLY. Some learn best through short answer
questions; some through preparing for tests; others through personal response questions; many through group and
individual activities; and some learn best visually.
Writing and preparing dozens of different activities, essays, tests, and response questions is the most timeconsuming, and sometimes most tedious, part of teaching. For a unique curriculum and to give you a wide variety
of reproducible materials, we have combined our Teaching Units, Activity Packs, Response Journals, and, when
available, our Headlines in one low-priced package that gives you everything you need to teach to all your students.
Perfect for
New Teachers!
Response Journals
Activity Packs
We present students with a series of
writing prompts designed to approach the
works from a more personal perspective.
Students are expected to write letters of
advice, keep a journal as if they were a
character from the book, relate the plot
to their own lives, and more. Separately,
Response Journals are $19.95.
These reproducibles are designed to
guide student exploration of literature
through cooperative learning techniques,
map making, investigation of characterization, literary terms, dramatizations,
letter writing, and more. Separately,
Activity Packs are $35.95.
Headlines
Teaching Units
We present literary works in the style
of modern tabloids to pique student
interest. For each book, we present
the front page from three issues of an
imaginary newspaper appropriate to
the setting in an attractive poster that
is perfect to complement the teaching
of these books. Separately, Headlines
are $18.99.
Complete Units, with educational
objectives, comprehension and essay
questions, literary terms, vocabulary,
a multiple choice and essay test, and
plot–and theme–level questions with
answers to stress daily reading.

ACH UNIT identifies scholarly objectives and
poses questions designed to develop mastery of
those objectives. Our multiple choice/essay tests are
also constructed to test for those objectives. Because
our mission is to write materials that will enable the
student who uses the unit to go on and read more
literature with more understanding, we include no
puzzles, no word-find games, no extensive biographies, and only as much background as is necessary.
