CLOSE READ PG 177 HIGHLIGHT IN TEXT Annotate: Highlight language in paragraphs 26-46 that shows the contrasting reactions of Mr. Frank and Mrs. Frank to Mr. Van Daan’s theft.

Answer: paragraphs 28, 30, 31, 32, 34, 36, 38, and 39. Question: What can the reader infer from what was marked? Answer: Mrs. Frank has always been demanding of Anne but always polite and conciliatory toward the Van Daans. Suddenly, her reaction to the accusation against Mr. Van Daan is extremely bitter and angry, perhaps revealing resentments she has kept inside, or they are feelings she has just formed.

Conclude: Why did the author include these details? Answer: Mr. Frank attempts to find a way of resolving the situation without expelling Mr. Van Daan from the annex. His reaction mirrors all his other relationships, especially his relationship with Anne, in which he is often the peace maker.

Remember Just in as it does in life- the conflict in literature sometimes brings out the worse and best in characters. In this scene, the theft forces anger and resentment, but also allows the playwrights to showcase Mr. Frank’s patience.

CLOSER LOOK PG 185 HIGHLIGHT IN TEXT Annotate: As I read paragraph 48, I notice and highlight German words spoken by characters who are offstage.

Answer: paragraphs 48. Question: What can the reader infer is about to happen? Answer: After the words are spoken, the characters in the annex calmly go through the process of preparing to depart, and Peter kisses Anne goodbye.

3. Identify at least three ways in which the setting contributes the characters’ motivations. For each item, cite specific details from

the text that support your thinking.

2. What can you infer from details in Act II about why an informer

might be motivated to tell authorities about a family in

hiding?

1. What is Anne’s motivation for keeping a diary? Cite at least two details from the play that support

your inference.

PRACTICE PG 189 ANSWERS

1. Anne’s motivation for keeping the diary is to provide herself with a private, serious outlet to express her deepest thoughts and emotions. She makes several references to her need to have someone to talk to who understands her and she tells Peter that she thinks “more seriously” about life and that she loves to write and wants to become a journalist. From these details, the reader can infer that she uses her diary writing to sort out her most serious thoughts.

2. From the stories Mr. Kraler and Miep relate about the difficult conditions for people in Amsterdam, one can infer that people would be motivated to be in good favor with the authorities. Turning in a family of Jews in hiding would be considered such a favor, and a person might be rewarded for it.

3. You should note the cramped quarters, the loss of freedom, and the need for silence impact the characters in different ways.
