Act 1 (Question "a")

"But always remember this Annke. There are no walls, there are no bolts, no locks anyone can put on your mind."

I think that he is saying that no one, no person, organisation, group, or government can make you think or feel something. No one can make you believe what they want you to believe. Yes, I believe this statement. I think that my mom, dad, teachers, principle or president can make me think or believe something. Someone can torturer you and they can kill you, but that won't make you believe it anymore. I believe this staement is a true one.

Foreshadowing (question a)

"Why does Mr. Frank break down when he sees the white glove?'

I think that the white glove belongs to Anne. When he sees the glove, he remembers when they were taken out of their home by the Nazis. I think as we read into the story the white glove will pop up again, maybe as a birthday or Christmas present. I think that the glove was very precious to Anne, because it must have been significant to er to make Mr. Frank cry like that.

"The Diary of Anne Frank" Theme

So far we have only watched a small part of the movie "The Diary of Anne Frank." But, with what I have seen, I think that her friends, and what she wrote in her diary, purposely or not, that it show how ungrounded hate vs people leads to horrible things. We see that Nazis have ungrounded hate vs the Jews. And, we also see that unfounded acts of cruelty or hate or anger affects people. The Nazis affect the Jews. The Jews affect each other. The Jews affect genarations to come.

Thats what I see so far, I will keep you updated.

What do I know about the Holocaust?
I know that it was a brutal kill of Jewish people. It happened around World War II. I know that people were killed without reason or care, it was just pure, without a real reason, hate vs Jewish people.
What is Prejudice? I think that Prejudice is just biased hate vs a kind of person or group of people. I have seen Prejudice where I used to live. Before I moved here to Korea, I lived in a very southern part of Tennessee. When I moved there, it was like I moved 5 years back into history. There was a lot of Prejudice against new people. It was a "good 'ol boy" system. You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. I had a hard time making friends in schools there because I "Talcked fuhny." I have seen people being harassed and called names because they were not from south. That was another reason that I became home schooled.
