The Diary Of Anne Frank

Pg.832(1-8)

1)The families must obey strict rules to avoid discovery.which rules would be hardest for you to follow?why?

I would say that the hardest rule of all that would he hard for me to follow is to stay still for a very long time i do not have the mind and patience to stay still that long doing nothing.

2)In scene 1,what objectives does Mr.Frank find in the secret rooms.

He finds a a small white glove and a diary given to him by Miep.

2.b)These objects are connected with the rest of the story because on how he finds the white glove (probably Anne's) and the giving of the Diary he leads us into the story line.

3)What special meaning does Hanukkah have for the families?

To them the celebration holds a great meaningful powerful event because at last they can join together to celebrate something that brings them peace and unity it it something that gives them the will and spirit to survive and keep fighting.

b.)I guess you can say that it shows that in spite of how people are towards her she still thinks of them and cares.

c.)They act with enthusiasm because they hope it can show more unity between them.

4)With a partner discuss Mr.Franks statement "There are no locks that anyone can put on your mind"How does Anne prove that this is true.

She proves that this is true because she speaks what she thinks what she believes is the right thing to do or say.

5)The historical cause is that te Germans want to be the only race with superiority over any other race among themselves.So they want to make sure that each Race among them that is not the same as them or equal is killed off.

b)Well it makes them scared for their lives because they know what will happen if they are found.

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 to have on the Jews?

They want the Jews probably to know that they are property of the Germans.

b.)Well for on you know that they wanted to be one solo race and they would kill all who opposed them in any way.

7)Complete an organizer like the one shown with examples of dialogue that achieve each purpose.

Mr.kraler and Mr.Frank talking about the final person moving in which is showing that there relationship between each other is good because Mr.Frank accepts him in.Gives advancement to the plot by showing that now they have a new person coming in.It shows that thers going to be conflict between the current residents.

8)It reveals that some of them are very selfish and don't take kindly to others even if they don't know them.

Pg.870

1)What do you like most about Anne Frank?How would you like having her as a friend?

I think i would like her as a friend because she seems like a very cool and fun kid to hang with.

2)What disturbing news does Mr.Kraler Bring on New Years Day?He tells them that one of his employees may know that they are hiding here and has asked for a increased money on his salary or pay day money.

b)The hint that it gives is that you know something bad will happen to them in the end.

3)The time span of act 2 is already going on for 1 year and a half now.

b)The characters have changed from the end of act 1 in a very cold way from being hopeful yet afraidtheyhave gone to being depressed and just wanting this to end already.

c)I know Anne has changed because you cant tell from her actions and how she acts towards the people living with her especially with Peter.

4)She 'wants to believe that for i can tell that deeply she knows the world is a cold place and full of torment and hatred but she tries hard to believe in the goodness of people and she wishes that this ;War could end.

b)He probably means that 'puts me to shame' because from what he has experienced and seen he believes in his heart that people are cruel and tyrants.

5)Cause:Hes Hungry and doesn't wish to starve himself.
Effect:He awakens the others an they catch him stealing food.

b)Cause:Was because of the Mr.Van Dann stealing food for himself when he should be worrying more about his son peter eating.

Effect:She changes her mind because she hears that the war will soon be over because the U.s ships have landed nearby.

6)Well for one she might think that shell lose Peters love to Anne and since the mother cares deeply for Peter she doesn't want to lose him to some girl that isn't worth it in her eyes.

7)Cause:7 People living together closely.
Effect:Each day and passing week and month becomes harder for them because the more they spend close to each other they become more aggravated and do not like certain things about each other.

8) [ character ] [ Action ] [ Motivation ]

Miep: Brings Flowers and food to the To bring them food and
Attic room. something from outside to
make them feel better.


Mr.Van Daan: Stole Food from Food storage He was very Hungry and
Cabinet. Starving.


Peter Van Daan: Goes to his fathers aid to defend He sees that Mrs.Frank is
Him from whats happening. going beserk in her rage.

9)Well maybe since the 'informer' knew that hiding a jew would meandeath he didnt want to be interrogated and he would spill the fact that he knew were jews are hiding so in order not to die he told the police well thats what i think i dont know about you guys.
Believe what you want to believe but be careful is key.

Hansel And Gretel

As a Father me Hearing My Wife saying, even planning the way to rid ourselves of our children was by the least revering i had thought that us men were suppose to be the strong ones the ones who could care less about something yet when i was listening to what she planned to do i was in a state of paranoia.A mother planning to leave her own children alone by them selves in the woods was repulsive mothers are caring,kind,and take good care of there young ones and always love them no matter the cause or what happens.when i lied there in my bed next to her i thought what she speaks is true i can not provide enough for the four of us and i certainly cannot deal to myself the thought of not being able to feed my kids.Much i thought about this and after 5 long painful hours thinking about the outcomes of this ideas i fell asleep it wasn't long when i awoke for it seemed that i had only just fell asleep i saw that my wife wasn't beside me she mustve woken the kids i got dressed and headed out the front door i sat their waiting on the steps for them to come outside they did but i saw in my children's eyes that they were unhappy some how in someway i felt as if they knew what was happening but were to afraid to say anything about it.We set off towards the Forest me thinking to myself whether or not if they could find there way back or not maybe they would and i would be happy again.when we left them there next to the campfire we went into the forest but went around a bend a cut off going around and exiting the forest it was about 7 when we made it back to our house and i saw no remorse no weeping coming from my wife i was astonished i had thought that maybe she was terribly miserable about what she had done..but she wasn't.In the morning when i had gotten up i tended to my usual daily routine and expecting for the day to end in silence when i had come home not long afterwards was there a knock on the Door maybe it was an Official knowing that we had done the day before i looked peeped through it was my children i was happy again even though my wife was muchly grieved and mad that they had come back she scolded them telling them why had they slept so long in the forest and that we had thought they were not coming back.I slept more easily that night but it soon needed again my wife woke me up to tell me how to get rid of the children she said no we must take them deeper deeper then they had ever gone before in their lives.we did and left them there again 3 days passed still no sign of them coming back.when the end of the week had come there was another knock at the door an it was them my children they had come back and not only by themselves but with much much Money and other expensive jewels i was so happy that day not only did my children return but they came back with hope for our family ot live a good healthy happy life.

O'Henry

To Him Who Waits:This story To me was very impulsing it is very interesting to me in such a way i found it invigorating to keep reading more in the beginning yes it may seem boring.When in fact it is actually quiet good i liked this story in particular because it has a twist at the middle to the ending because it seems from the title of the story that by waiting the man will eventually get what he wants but when in fact the thing that he wants go away and he had a Chance to regain his lost "heirloom" but can no longer now because his friend has taken it away.

The Head Hunter:this story to me has a meaning and made me react to it with awe because what to me at the end what it is trying to say is true and holds meaning to what people expect to have at times when they cant have and when actually the best thing they can have is the lesser one.

The Caballeros Way:This story i liked to a certain extent because it wasn't at all boring and held something of interest that wont put people to sleep my guess is that if you would read it you would like it pretty good read i liked it at one points in the story it did amaze me and had me reacting like "what??" but still it is a very good read and ma hold something of meaning to you!! :)

The Outcasts Of Poker Place.

If you had to blame someone or something for the outcasts deaths who/what would you blame and why?
Uncle Billy
Citizens of poker flat
Bad luck
Outcast


I Strongly think that if it werent for Billy they wouldve been alive and in Sandy Bar by the next day that they had awoken i think that with the supplies and provisions that they were carrying they wouldve made it ti Sandy bar return tom simsons mules and horse and be on there way becuase they made it half way to their destination in a day they woulve mostly likely made it to Sandy Bar the next if Billy hadnt taken their means of transportation then i thin they wouldve had good fortune in Sandy Bar but like always there always has to be a Bad part and that part was Billy i guess they shouve been more careful who they trusted but if Billy woulve ben a man and tried to help them then they wouldve been safe!!! :D

Kate Chopin

The Story of an Hour:OK so to break it down for you in SIMPLER ways this short passage relates to how freedom comes in many forms or ways yet they may not always come to you in the way you want it to.The story is based on i my own belief that to bear something heavy on yourself such as love may bring either happiness or hatred towards your or the life your living.As you see in this story that Mrs.Mallard is happy with the fact that she is living with a jerk at times she loves him and others she doesn't however most of the time she doesn't whether or not she knew this before marrying him is not of my concern but what it simply is that sometimes people must really live their lives before they settle down makes everything more joyful.

The Blind Man:Well this story has more to deal with the fact that many of us don't take the time to help out the less fortunate that we as human beings just like them do not take the mind nor time to find some way to help out the frail or the needy.You see older or younger alike you can have disabilities that affect the way you live life the way you handle things.People who are blind,cant walk,cant thin straight,or either don't know how to control themselves need our help we can WE have the power to do something.....yet we don't?Why is my question take as to me i before in the past cared less about others but coming to older age realize that i share this world with many other people that can use may help.Kate here uses disability and how we with more stuff (us being poor and others being homeless etc poor. we don't care as Long as they don't interfere we simply ignore them.As she well described that in this story The Blind Man she shows us how we react to helping those who need it she shows that we ignore and forget that they need help and how at times those who need it cant help themselves not even to the extent that even of the simplest things can they accomplish.

Desiree's Baby:Racism is still happening in our world today and yet not so long ago this author Kate Chopin described and explained not in wording but in stories such as this one that when we are unsure of someone and we do not know where they come from we may think there part of a place where they not.It happens yes even today we think that ooh look at him hes that certain color and ton of his skin he Mexican so is she and him to...!So when you look at it there not we may look the same to some people but we come from different places like who you thought to be Mexican could have been Puerto Rican or Cuban or Spanish or Ecuadorian you see when you think and you see you ll know the difference.Desirees baby for example Armand the Father noticed that his kid was becoming of the color of slavery Black and could not accept it so him not knowing where Desiree was from cast the blame on her when in fact it was the opposite him such a grand man of wealth and power actually wore invisible chains to slavery in which he thought he was superior to when he was indeed not.Although Racism can be more of a violent culture nowadays in earlier times there was no race if colored that is what you were you belonged to one category all together no Difference between the different races.
