I am very curious to see if this former concentration camp has actually been constructed into a rehabilitation center that Corrie will run and speak at. I also am wondering if people in Germany will be so easy to forgive and forget as those in Holland had been. I also wonder how Corrie was able to shake that mans hand and forgive him -- it would have taken plenty of courage.

I am wondering how long Corrie will be in the hospital, and if she is ever going to be released or if it was just some awful joke played by the guards. I am also feeling bad for Corrie because I know how hard it must be to be going through this alone and to be trying to remember her sister by helping others, but getting treated poorly because of it.

I am wondering right now whether Corrie is going to live up to the promise she made with Betsie to have house where anyone can come to find love and peace once the war has ended. I also am wondering whether she is still involved with the underground right now even though she is being watched very carefully.

I predict that eventually the vitamin bottle will run out and Corrie and Betsie will have none left, and Betsies health will continue to decline. Betsie may even die, and Corrie will be left alone in this terrible camp. I also have a feeling that one of the other prisoners is going to steal their Bible, and they won't even have God's words to live by and they will struggle physically, mentally, and spiritually.

I am very confused on what is going on right now. By my understanding I know that Corrie and Betsie are in a political concentration camp, but I am really wondering where they are going and what this so called "bunker" is. I predict that this "bunker" is going to be some form of punishment and that Betsie may not be able to handle the pain since she is so fragile. I definitely think that this will be a bad experience

"And so I learned that love is larger than the walls which shut it in." I feel that as I am reading this book it talks about Corrie's life from a child and as she is growing and all of the little lessons she has learned that has made her the person she is today.
