God Provides, The Hiding Place
Corrie Ten Boom was a lady who was in a concentration camp and was released due to a clerical error. She continued on to spread her story and prove that God works miracles even today. She even wrote a book which the 7th grade class at Mile High Adventist Academy read over the past few months. The name of the book is the Hiding Place. The book explains her story and relates it to how we should always trust in God even in the darkest of times, which is a message I personally agree with.
Basically the story of the book explains that Corrie, her father, William and her sister, Betsie became a part of the dutch underground. A very funny moment happened during a nazi raid looking for soldiers and at Nollie's house the

Firstly, because it was a chapter that was very fresh and clear in my mind. Whilst watching Sandra read her written words out loud I felt as if I could see my own book in front of me and read the words along with her. Furthermore, in spite of the fact that I love writing and there are certain genres and authors that I can genuinely enjoy reading, I am a very poor reader.…

    Your analysis of Andrew Wyeth's Christina's World, regarding scale and proportion was interesting to read. According to our class reading this week, Professor Tessier explained that “proportion is the size of a part in relation to the whole” (Tessier, 2017). You mentioned proportion in the painting regarding Christina being the largest object in the art work. My observation regarding proportion in this artwork was the vast size of the field in relation to the distance between Christina and the small farmhouse. My interpretation of the vast field was that, Andrew Wyeth wanted to create a sense of isolation between Christina and the farmhouse.…
