Reflection

I think that Corrie ten Boom was a woman with a lot of courage. She was the leader of an illegal operation. She knew that Jews were being taken to prisons and they had limited freedom, so she took them in to her house and gave them freedom. This was an illegal act at the time. Anyone that looks at a law or a government and breaks this law because they beleive in a greater good has courage. Once she got caught in doing this I think some of her courage was taken away. I think that she gained it only when she was in prison and looked at everything surrounding her. She had kept a bible in the concentration camp. This wasn't aloud either. If Corrie was caught she would of stayed in more camps for a longer time. This, I think, shows a lot of courage. She would take her bible and teach the prisoners about the good news of God. People might not like what she was telling them, or maybe they wouldn't believe her, but she was courageous enough to continue. I think Corrie ten Boom was an amazing woman with a lot of drive and courage.
