There are still many books and things about the holocaust, because if we just stop retelling it then everyine will forget everything about it. If we forget about it, then we might forget about it and do the same mistake again. If we forget about it, and retell it just through stories, it might become a folktale that no one cares about. if the holocaust turns into a folktale then it would be just like a normal story, if people think of the holocaust as normal story, then the intensity and sorrow for the jews at that time will be lost, and poeple won't take it seriously anymore. This serious and extreme event might turn into a little story.

Anne and Peter both have teenage reactions for their families. They both want to stay away from their families. Normally, teenagers rely on their friends to talk to and share their secrets with but in the Annex, they don't have anyone their age to talk to. This might be the reason why Anne loves her diary so much, because it is like someone she can talk to or a friend who would keep all your secrets. We know that she loves her diary because we see in the movie that she tells her diary that she loves it.

there was conflict when Anne and Mrs Frank argued and Anne thought she was being treated unfairly. All the other members of the family were comparing her to Margot everytime she did something wrong. Anne and Mrs Dan Vaan had a conflict when Anne accidently spilt something on her coat. Peter and Anne had a conflist because Anne was being a bit childish by hiding his shoes and Peter annoyed her by teaseing her about her loud voice.
If these conflicts get harsher and bigger, the annex won't survive and everyone in the annex wil e sent to concentration. The congregation of people in the annex rely on each other's trust to survive. If just one of them decides to give them in, then they will all die. If there is voilence, there will be lot's of sound and the people living near might hear and report them.

I think the hardest part of being in the Annex would be the fear that you might get caught at any time. Having to worry every day at evey moment would be hard. Even if you want to be confident, you can't because the thought of, even making a little mistake could be the death of you. Not being able to do this because of the fear of being caught might make you think about the other kids. The other kids could do this without even fearing while you couldn't do things with fear. The 'things' is like being able to run around, make noise, go outside, and lots of other things.

There should be no bolts and walls in someone's mind. Anyone should be able to think of what they want to think about without any abuse of complications. A mind should run freely and no one should even dare to obstruct them from doing so. The Jews were abused a lot and they weren't even able to think about what they wanted to think. An example is, when they thought that the new laws in treating jews were wrong, they would be taken away and put into labor camps.

Dramatic irony

There is Dramatic irony in this play because we already know what is going to happen. At the moment, she is scared and she doesn't know when she will get caught. We know how and exactly when she will get caught.The dramatic irony increases as the time when Anne Frank really gets caught. At the moment just before she gets caught, you know that she will get caught so you want to shout and give her a warning to jump out the window and escape of something.

the theme

At the moment, the play's theme is Anne Frank's loneliness in the secret annex. Anne Frank has no friends with her in the Annex and she doesn't have anyone to play with. Everyone in the annex, except for her, was an adult. She couldn't run around because it might create suspicion to the family next door. As a child, Anne Frank had to live in fear that someone could and might give them into the Nazis.
