Anne Frank Question #7

I think the play reveals about our need for freedom by courage and hope. The courage is the most important thing to survive. In the secret annex, they needed courage to hide. If they didnt have courage when they were hiding, they would probably give up and go outside before they would get into more trouble. THey need hope when they were in the secret annex. Even though, they coudnt hear a lot of news from outside, they had to have hope to have the main reason that they were hiding in the secret annex. If they didnt have hope, they could have suicide or just give up because they would have thought the Nazis took over the whole country and they will think eventually, they will find us and kill us so, they had to have hope to survive and hide.

Anne Frank Question #6

There are so many books, movies, documentsaires, etc. about the Holocaust because it was a period of time that many people suffered and the memory still exists. We keep retelling the strory on and on because we don't want it to happen again in the future such as Nazis hating Jews or even wars that has prejudice in it. It is terrible to hear about but we need to keep telling to the generations to generations and make sure that it does not happen again later.

Anne Frank Question #5 (five questions) A~E

a. Act 1: I agree with this statement and I think Mr.Frank is telling Anne that there are no such idea that can block you from writing and block her way from her way for her goal. Even though she is Jew, and she has enemy like Nazis, I think she could write her goal down on the diary and achieve her goal by writing down. She has potential to think and make idea to write it down on her diary so, even though there are enemies of her, she could always put something on her mind and it never stops.
b. Act 1, Scene 1-3: I think the hardest part to be in secret annex is that you need to keep quite and cant go to bathroom in the day. Also, Anne is a young girl that likes to play outside and shes in her life time when she has to play outside. I cant imagine that I need to stay in bed for 8hours after I woke up even though no ones there. Thats why its hard to keep quiet.
c. Act 1, Scene 1-3: I think they do have teenage attitude against them. In pg. 382 Anne said to Mrs.Frank, "who caresif it's dignified? i dont want to be dignified." She's acting rude to her mother and she doesnt respect mother's order. Also, Mrs. Van Daan said to Peter, "Now is that anyway to talk to your little girlfriend?" and Peter replied, "Mother... for heaven's sake.... will you please stop saying that?" this means that he is shy and he is showing that he is acting like a teenager.
d. Act 1, Scene 1-3: There were a lot of conflicts in the scene 1~3. 1) Mr.Dussel and Anne doesn't seem to get along each other. Ex. They use the same room together but their personality doesn't match and they always get into a conflict because of it. 2) Mr.Dussel is pretending to have an allergy on fur. Ex. Mr.Dussel is pretending to have an allergy on fur and he doesnt want the cat to be near him, so Peter is having hard time to stay and get along with Mr.Dussel. 3)Mr.Dussel came into the secret Annex and he eats. Ex. In the secret annex, they have limited food to eat and also, they have a lot of people in first place so, they coudnt offer another person to eat but Mr.Dussel had to eat so, they are getting into trouble. 4) No space Ex. Mr.Dussel came in the secret annex so, they dont have left over space to play around as much as the past.
e. When Anne's nightmare was over, Mrs.Frank went to Anne and comforted her. But when she was comforting her, Mr.Dussel was very angry at Anne because she was screaming in the silent. Mr.Dussel didn't understand about the child and he was not getting along with the mood in the secret annex either. Mrs.Frank and Mr.Dussel is in conflict because of Anne. Mrs.Frank said to Mr.Dussel that she wasnt trained like an army,she was just a 13 years old girl. Then, Mr.Dussel went to w.c for a peace with his anger in him.

Anne Frank Question #4 b) irony

I think Mr.Frank wants to tell that outside world can kill her when Anne said she wants to go visit her friends or ride bike. Mr.Frank didnt scare her by giving examples of being in danger and die but he told her that there was no problem to go have a ride. THats why it is ironic. THe outside world was bombing and bursting but she said she wants to ride bike so, he made a statement opposite to the outside world and agreeing with Anne.

Anne Frank Question #3

I think author wants to tell us that dictating is bad thing to do. In the drama, they are comparing Jews and them. THe Nazis are thinking that they are the one that are always right about jews and they dont know the good side of Jews.

Anne Frank Question #2

Prejudice is an unfavorable idea that it is juged before you even know about it. KKK is one of the examples happening in the world. KKK is white extremists that are prejudice against black; and the relationship between white and black got worse and black people are scared of KKK because they will persecute and kill them. I think prejudice makes the relationship worse and everything bad. Another example from past was from Germany. Nazi party. They were against the Jews but they didnt know a lot about Jews. They just thought about the bad things about them. This is prejudice too. and the relationship became worse between Nazi Party and the Jews.

Anne Frank Question #1

I don't really know about Holocaust and I had no interest in it but as im reading the drama "Anne Frank's diary" I got some of my attention to a word holocaust. I know it was in WW2 and it is something to do with concentration camp from Nazi. Nazi is like a party that thinks Jews are bad and they persecute them. I know that Holocaust was a serious thing to everyone and it was a terrible thing to be happened.
