1. Respond: The families must obey strict rules to avoid discovery. Which rules would be hardest for you to follow? Why?

The not moving at all and not being able to use rthe bathroom would be the hardest rules for me to follow, these would be the hardest rules for me to follow because i wouldnt be able to stay till for so long, and i wouldnt be able to just ignore when i really need to go to the bathroom.





2. (a) Recall: In Scene 1, what objects does Mr. Frank find in the secret rooms? (b) Connect: How are these objects connected with the rest of the act?

A) The special meaning of hanukkah for the families was the hope of being able to go through everything to be able to survive and not go to concentration camps.

B) Anne's presents show that she wants them to cheer up, and not just counting the time untill there able to come out.

C) The others reacted with enthusiasm to their presents because they never they would have got a presents or even be able to celebrate it as they usually did before.


4. (a) Evaluate: With a partner, discuss Mr. Frank’s statement, “There are . . . no locks that anyone can put on your mind.” How does Anne prove that this is true?

A) Anne proves the statement true because she discovers that there is nothing that will stop you from thinking what you think, that she shall be able to think as far as she would like and there shall not be nobody to stop her from thinking what she thinks.


5. (a) What is the historical cause that forces the Franks to go into hiding? (b) What effects does this situation have on their daily lives?

A)The historical cause that forced the Franks to go into hiding was that there were germans that were sending jews into concentration camps, and seperating families.

6. In Scene 2, Anne and Peter discuss the Stars of David on their clothes. (a) What effects do the Nazis intend the wearing of the stars to have on the Jews? (b) What background information about the war and the Nazis’ treatment of the Jews helps you to link this cause with its intended effects?
A) Nazis intened the wearing of the stars to have on the jews, so that that way they know by a glance that they are jews and wont have to go throught a lot of work to find out if they are jews or not.

B) That they were planing to wipe out the jews, they were always planing to wipe people and places out, this was the background information i had about the war and the nazis' treatment of the jews that help me link this cause with its intended effects.




7. Complete an organizer like the one shown with examples of dialogue that achieve each purpose.
Dialogue-->(Reveals character and realationship)[Mr. Van Daan] Did Mr. Kraler warn you that you won’t get much to eat here? You can imagine . . . three ration books among the seven of us . . . and now you make eight. Mr. Van Daan- is the kind of man who speaks the truth and doesnt care if it bothers other people or not.

-->(Advances the action of the plot) Mr. frank. It was a thief. That noise must have scared him away. everyone is now thinking that someone seems to know that they are there and think they will tell on them.

-->(Develops the conflict) Dussel. I think some day he’ll be caught and then he’ll make a bargain with the Green Police . . . if they’ll let him off, he’ll tell them where some Jews are hiding! This is when they now all think that the thief will tell on them and now are starting to be scared to death.




8. After Mr. Kraler asks if Jan Dussel can join the Franks and the Van Daans in hiding, what does the dialogue among the characters reveal about their personalities?

After Mr. Kraller asks if Mr. dussel can join the franks and the Van Daan in hiding it really show every body's personalities, it showed how some of them were very obnoxious or very calm.

1. what do you like best about Anne Frank? How would you like having her as a friend?

What i like best about Anne Frank is that she is the type of girl who always thinks in a possitive way and not a negative way, and that she is very hopefull. I would really like her as a friend, she would be the friend who will always be there when you dont feel right and will make you see the good view of things and not their bad sides.

(B) The hint that this gives us about the ending of the play is that the worker was going to betray them by telling on them with the green police.

(C) She now actually likes Peter and has and way open mind, she doesnt let anyone enterfier with her thoughts. She is put up to her full potential.
4.(A)How can Anne believe that"...in spite of everything...people are really good at heart?"(B)What does Mr. Frank mean when he says:"She puts me to shame"?
(A) Anne believes that besides everything that is going on all people are good at heart, She believes this because she thinks that if this wouldnt have enterfiered with all of their lives they would have been with their families and being such a nice person, but since they are going through everything deep inside they are very nice people(B) I personally think that what Mr. Frank means when he says that statement, is that she puts him to shame because of everything they had done to them she was still thinking that they were nice people,he just couldnt believe that his daughter never seemed to notice that all of these people were maltreating them and didnt even try to help them out and she had died is cause of what they had done to her, he was ashamed that his daughter died thinking that they were nice people.

"Hansel And Gretel"

Point of view: Hansel [brother]


I have noticed that my father has been thinking a lot lately, he sure is woried. i went near the room, to find out what has been going on with my father. I hear him say " Oh my dear wife, what shall we do, the job is not going so good and i'm not going to be able to bring our daily bread anymore, what shall we do of the kids, we hardly have food to feed ourselves.... Oh my dear wife, what shall we do". Sure now he was not the only one who was worried. And so when the mean lady... our stepmother was about to talk, Gretel came along and started to listen,too. we heard her say " i'll sure tell you what to do HUSBAND , tomarrow morning as we go off to work, we shall take the kids with us and leave them in the middle of the forest, they shall not find their way back to the house, i shall with them a piece of bread"Said the lady

"NO!! I shall not permit that, I cant to this to my children"Said father

"well then we all should die of hunger!"Said the lady


It was time for gretel and i to go to sleep but, both were so shocked. She started to cry dramaticly.
" Don't cry my little sister, please stay strong, the good god will help us"i told her.

"Adam's Diary"

i seen that thing coming my way, i had no clue of what that thing was. It was following me everywhere i didnt know what to do make that thing leave me alone. Since i didnt know what is was i just decided to leave the thing alone, but then it came to me, A LADY!! yes yes that's what it was, Its a lady just like lilith. I was hoping it not to be lilith, i came to a point where i thought it was lilith i was trying to run away from her, she was no good>>NOT AT ALL GOOD<<, she wasn't good so the man who comes to see me in the night kicked her out of this beautiful garden, but how did she get in her was my question. I DON'T KNOW BUT I CANT BE ANYWHERE NEARBY HER! .


she came by the next morning and i was freaking up so i climbed a tree a wouldn't come down unless she was gone. she was just there just watching me, mean while i took a look at her, she looked nothing like Lilith, just when I was thinking about who this lady might be... i took a turn to climb back down, and i got hit by a mud ball just behind my ear. OOOOh she got me so mad but I was told that i shouldn't have this feeling towards nobody and at no time. i listened ,i didn't want to be mad so i just talked back to her and she was just so surprised that i was actually talking back i got to know her a little more, and after time i was actually talking to her but, i got scared because i started liking her and i dont want her to get taken away from me either.
