Here you will find the questions from the quick write on chapter 8 of the Hiding Place. Please email me your response before class on Wednesday Aug. 26, or turn in a hard copy in class by Wednesday for full credit.
1. Nollie and her daughter had almost gotten in serious trouble twice for what Corrie calls “rigid honesty,” but each time the person in question was saved.
Do you have respect for Nollie’s conviction to obey God’s command to not lie? Do you think it was selfish, stupid, or brave, or something else?
Describe the situation from this chapter with Nollie and Annaliese and explore the theme of honesty. Be sure to include some direct quotes to support your opinion. Write at least 5 good sentences in your response.
2. What did all the guests at Beje do to protect themselves when a strange man was looking in the window at dinner?
3. Describe the process that Corrie went through to train the Jews staying at the Beje how to hide should the Gestapo come. What happened when Otto showed up one night? Write 4-5 sentences in your answer.
4. Despite the growing risk of running the “underground” activities, Corrie, Betsy and their father continued to house Jews and operate the network of hiding places.
What is your opinion of their decisions? Would you be able to risk everything to help another person, a stranger?
Write at least 4 thoughtful sentences in your response.
