5 question c

In page 383 it shows Peter having teenage attitudes towards his own mother. (Mrs. Van Daan) "Now is that anyway to talk to your little girlfriend?" (PEter) "Mother.. for heaven's sake ... will you please stop saying that?" (Mrs. Van Daan) "Look at him blush! Look at him!" (Peter) "Please! I'm not... anyway... let me alone will you? THis indicates that he has a typical attitude to her mother because teenagers at this age are usually shy and have cooties with girls. I think that Anne doesn't have a typical attitude like Peter does, she isn't embarrassed of being mature and being close to boys she actually encourages Peter to dance with her.

5 question B

I think that the hardest part of life in the secret annex is being discovered by the NAzi's which includes being quiet, not going to the bathroom, etc. But more specifically it would be really hard for me to not go to the bathroom from morning to night. I wouldn't be able to cope with it. But being quiet and sharing a room with a stranger is no problem with me unless I don't live. Because if we get caught thats it, we don't have a choice but to die. And also faith of the people keeping us safe is another major fear. Because they could easily tell the dutch that we are here by being threatened to go to the concentration camps by the Nazi's.

A. questions 5

I think that the quote "But always remember this Anneke. There are no walls, there are no bolts, no locks that anyone can put on your mind." I think before this quote Mr. Frank is trying to say is that they are now caged and have to live in a new environment but in this quote he is trying to say that no one can control her future and what she desires, which means there is still hope for her and that she can make her dream come true once the holocaust is over. And after he says that Mr. Frank talks about studying and educating her so her chances of her dream could be high. I think that this statement is not always true there could be times when your parents control your future and want what you don't want. But in Anne's situation I think she has the power to do what she wants because she has such a stubborn personality.

Foreshadowing

I think that MR. Frank breaks down crying when he sees the glove because it reminds him of his wife, because it said that it was a woman's glove. It gives him bad memories of his family being killed in the concentration camps and he was the only survivor out of those 8 people so he feels very bad and kind of guilty. He feels as if he didn't have anything to live for anymore because of the loss of his family

Theme Anne Frank

I think the theme of this play is how Anne's character changes after being in the holocaust and having a really strange environment. First of all she isn't used to not going to the bathroom from the morning to mid-day, and she has to be very quiet and can't be too loud as usual. Because of these limitations, Anne goes through an internal conflict. She accidentally spills milk on Mrs. Van Daan's fur coat, and her parents discipline her but at that time Anne gets angry by saying why MArgot is always right and she is always wrong. She develops jealousy of her sister and has a strong conflict with her mother.

Prejudice

Prejudice is something I have known since 5th grade, from social studies class, when were learning about the Irish people moving into America. The Irish were discriminated by the Americans, because the Americans thought that they didn't fit in or they were totally a whole different group because of their religion and they were from a different country. They were pre-judging them by just looking at what they were, maybe the religion wasn't but still they didn't really get to know them and as soon as they saw them they didn't like them. The word Prejudice came from the word Pre-jugding, thats what I read in a book called "The 7habits of highly affective teenagers." After that I continuosly learned about prejudice even in my health class in sixth grade. Prejudice usually is always a negative case, because even when you judge people by how they look. People could pre-judge you by saying you're a really good basketball player by just making one shot in, and actually you're not even close to good. So it is always good to judge people when you're are really confident that you believe of that person is true. That's why there have been racism during the mid 1900's, black people have been discriminated just because of their color, and Jews in the holocaust were pre-judged by the Nazi's just because of what they thought of them was wrong, but they weren't really sure of that mostly they didn't care there wasn't a good reason of killing them. Now a days prejudice has reduced to a minimum but still there are little issues behind the scenes like when you go to a new school and they make fun of how you look or what you do.

holocaust

Holocaust
What I know of the holocaust currently is that Jewish people were very conscious of the Nazi's breaking into their houses and sending them to the concentration camps. Because of this kind of experience Jewish people went into secret houses owned by other people, this was called the secret annex. Also this was during World War I. Germany was in a war with the whole world and conquered most of Europe, so even though Jewish reugees eluded to other countries they would most probably still be caught as well as they could in Germany. In the holocaust their was a policy where the Germans had to believe what ever the Government said, especially the status in the World War. Because of this no one was aloud to have a radio because the radio had English broadcasting which actually told the truth than actually positive news to the Germans. This pretty much all I know about the Holocaust, and I hope to know more in the future.
