Corrie gets to bond with her father on their many train trips together. For instance, Corrie’s question about sex receives an answer, which holds up Christian standards for purity and sexual education. Father’s train case example indicates that certain things are not allowed in Corrie’s society, despite the changing times. This teaches Corrie to seek refuge in what she loves:family and God. However, the train case example extends beyond its initial meaning. Corrie realizes later in the narrative how important the train case will be for her. Many times in the narrative, Corrie asks God to take knowledge of cruelty and suffering, which grow too heavy for her.
