o Recently, I read the book " The Hiding Place" by Corrie ten Boom, edited by John and Elizabeth Sherril. While reading the book, I was noticed a pattern of major Christian qualities that Corrie possessed. Through her life story, we see her compassion toward others, her concentration on God's Will, and her godly character that challenged the lives of countless souls. Corrie never forgot that Israel was "the apple of his (God's) eye" (Zechariah 2:8). For that reason, she tried to service the Jews as much as they could - keeping in mind that Israel is God's chosen people, and she was to obey God's commands.
You can see this though many ways. One way is the way she refers to how things happen during her time as a captive. She sees everything that happens to her during this time and her life as God’s will. She believes that everything happens for a reason and looks to God. During her time when she was lost in the wilderness she states, “I cannot but admire at the wonderful power and goodness of God to me (112).” She wasn’t afraid to admit her faith; she confesses it throughout the entire narrative.
She would use terms like “higher self” and spirit but never honor God has the source. Other reason why I determine her view slightly differ from mine is she didn't believe marriage was for her but she does continue as this day living with her companion Stedman Graham. Other areas that I do agree with Oprah is finding your passion and creating the life your desire to live, serving humanity by being giver and choosing the right career base on your passion. As I began to read and do research I became a little confuse with what is really Oprah's worldview is she christian or not. Also after her show she began to show more of her true-self through her life-class.
This novel refreshes the mind on the level of intensity these people were put through, morally, physically and emotionally. The majority of the slaves were hand in hand with their religion. Isabella’s mother always taught her children to pray no matter what and instilled in them the qualities of being good people “she taught them to kneel and say the Lord’s Prayer. She entreated them to refrain from lying and stealing and to strive to obey their masters”. (Truth p.12) Isabella being loyal to her mother would do so whenever she ran into trouble, this also shows the loyalty towards her religion.
She also did not give up even though she faced many difficulties in the journey of how she made the world recognized Chicano Spanish . Marjane in “The Veil “ also shows us her strong belief in God ,and that she did not give up her dream to be a prophet , which she believed in, was a decision from God. The second similarity from both essays is about their hopes for freedom. In “How To Tame A Wild Tongue “,Anzaldua asked for freedom and to allow her to learn new things in her own way. Being punished during recess, requiring to take 2 speech classes to get rid of the accent ,and “ Who to say that robbing people of its language is less violent than war “ is the quote that she put at the end of the first paragraph , are examples that clearly show how she felt back then.
