The Diary of Anne Frank Discussion

      In class today, I continue to read the Diary of Anne Frank. We also had a class discussion on some of the two questions that each one of us wrote. I asked the questions 'How would you feel when you find out that the owner sold the office building without notifying Mr.Kleiman and Mr.Kugler?' AND 'What is Mrs.van Daan's nickname given by everyone because of contradicting everybody? Mrs.______. Ans:(Beaverbrook).' Mine wasn't discussed in class, but some of the questions that were discussed includes 'How would it feel to have your electricity cut off because of overusing your ration?' Or 'How many pounds does Anne gained during their hiding? (19Ibs)', and some others.

      I'm on the part of the story where things are getting worse. People are deported to Germany and other camps where they suffer, and many people are being seperated from their families. Meanwhile, the Franks and van Daan's are beginning to face their fears as well. Since the owner of the office building (Secret Annex) sold it without notifying Mr.Kugler and Mr.Kleiman, there are higher chance of them to be discovered. Anne also talks about how everyone is scared, depressed, moody, and the encouraging rumors about hoping that Turkey would end its neutrality and join the Allies. If I were in Anne's situation, I would feel lost and confused in the horrible world.

       Many of the important German building are destroyed/burned. The foods were bad and the squabbles still go on in the Secret Annex. Everyone is mad ar everyone else. Anne's mother is feeling sad when she realized there's no more love between Anne and her. Anne felt indifferent about that. Everyone must be extra careful because sometimes they have German visitors downstairs in the office. Other than that, things are the sort of the same in the Annex. There's always some kind of tension.
