Act 1 (Scenes 1-3) Conflicts

List the conflicts that have developed among the characters by the end of Scene 3. Why are these conflicts dangerous for the people in the Secret Annex? What other conflicts do you think might arise?

OK, I will not list ALL the conflicts I see (cus this might take a while). But, so far I see that Mrs. Van Daan is flirting with Ms. Frank. This is causing Ms. Frank a little bit, shall I say distressed. Also, Anne is pestering Peter to the edge and tensions are running high. And then, Anne goes and ruins Mrs. Van Daans coat (the really nice fur one) and then she is really...ticked (for lack of a better word). Now, not to add to tension mind you, Mr. Dussle (Mr. Idiot) comes in and is about the make Anne's life absolutely miserable. Well, all of these conflicts in the VERY SMALL, CRAMPED, AND DINGY Annex are just making people take sides and team up on each other. Every one is mad at someone, and either things are going to get better, or worse, and I foresee things are going to get a lot worse before they get better. I think that Mr. Dussle and Anne are going to start to pick at each other and I think that they are going to get...well I think things are going to get bad...very bad.

i agree with you and there are a lot of conflicts and it is like a fiction where every character is connected with others and that creates another problem like Peter liking Anne, but Margot doesn't really like that relationship, i believe that Mr. Dussel and Anne has the most problemes because they are being both a kid. Anne is a kid and she is not being mature, but Mr. Dussel is being a kid even he is old and he is being selfish not gentle. I think Mr. Dussel created way more conflicts after he came to the Secret Annex.
Nice Job, Caleb
