Questions p.832 (1-8)

1. The families must abey strict rules to avoid discovery. Which rules would be the hardest for you to follow?why?
I think the hardest rule for me to follow will the one that we can't move from 7:00 to 6:00. It would be the hardest rule because I like to be moving a lot and to run all over the place.

**

2. (a)In scene 1, what objects does Mr.Frank find in the secret rooms?(b)How are these objects connected with the rest of the act?
The object that Mr. Frank finds in the secret rooms was a woman white glove. This object connects with the rest of the story because it helps bring back memories.

**

3.(a) What special meaning does Hanukkah have for the families?(b) What do Anne's presents show about her?(c)Why do the others react with enthusiasm to their presents?
The special meaning that the Hanukkah have for families is that two thousand years ago the god fought for indifference againgt tyrany and oppression.Anne's presents show about her that she likes to care about people and that even though she didn't give much she gave somethng and that came from the heart.The others react with enthusiasm to their presents because they have been looked up in that house and seen the same thing over and over they got happy to see sothing new and also becasue that made them feel like they are having a real hanukkah.

**

Anne proves this statement "There .....no locks that anyone can put on your mind" because she sow how things were going and she had a life she wanted to do outside she had hope to do more things she didn't lock her mind like they had her locked up in that house.

**

5. (a) What is the historical cause that forces the Franks to go into hiding?(b)What effects does this situation have on their daily lives ?
What historical cause the Franks to go into hiding is that Nazi's were finding all the Jews and taking them into consentration camps and then killing them. This effects on there early lives because they have experienced more things that the kids at the age are not suppost to have experienced .
**

6. 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 star to have on the jews? (b) What background information about the war and the Nais' treatment of the jews helps you to link this cause with its intended effects?
The effects they had on the kews for wearing the star was so they could brand them with it , so they could slip them apart. I think the star meant that they had done something bad to the Nazis' and that all jews should pay. They also wanted only to have one kind of people.

**

7. Reveals character and relationship:
(Need to finish)
**
8. After Mr. Kraler asks if Jan Dussel can join the Franks and the Van Daans in hiding, what does the dialogue among the characters reveal about their personalities?
The character of the people show many things like for example it showes that Mr. Frank is a nice guy becausethere were a lot of people in the house and he just sayed yes. It shows that Mr. Van Daans is not such a good guy because when they said he was coming he said that there is not to many food for all of them to survive and that was kind of selfish of him to say.

Questions P. 870 (1-9)

1. What do you like best about Anne Frank?How would you like having her as a friend? What I like best about Anne Frank is that she sayes what she has to say and dosen' keep it only in her mind. I would loving her having as a friend because she would be honest to me and tell the the truth.

**

2. (a) What disturbing news does Mr. Kraler bring on New Year’s Day? (b) What hint does this give about the ending of the play? The disturving new that he brings after New Year's Day is that someone found out that they were inhidng there and they wanted money to stay quiete. I think this gives a hint that the giy that asked for more money said they were there.

3. (a) What is the time span of Act II? (b) How have the characters changed since the end of Act I? (c) How do you know that Anne has changed?

Its like 3 more months because they got cought like in the month of February. The characters had changed because they got mad at any little thing and they just got mad of being in there for a year almost. I know that has changed because the way she dosent be friendly to the people.

Living with some times a whole day with no food was not good but my father always took us little bit food and keept us a live. My step mother and my father din't have much to eat and Me and my brother over heard what they were saying about leaving us in the forest. As soon as I heard that tears came out my eyes. "It will be okay I know what to do." Is what my brother said. Then Isow him getting a lot of pebbles. "What's that for?"I asked "It will help us come back home now lets sleep becasue tommorrow is a bad day." I feel a sleep quickly just tring not to think that my father wasgoing to leave me in the forest. I keepted on thinking that everything was going to be okay but I really knew it wasent so I gegged to God to help us.
The next morning my step momther came to our room and told us we are going to the woods. I sow her with terrifing eyes and sayed "Okay". We were going into the woods were I sow my brother leaving the pebbles marking the trail back home . My father put a little fire for us and then left us a piece of bread and said they will come back and get us when they get all the wood they need. We fell a sleep and then when we woke up it was mighnight and my brother said "We have to wait until the sun comes up so we could see the pebbles." We sleep a little bit more and then we sleep a little bit more and when we woked up the sun had came up and we went back home following the pebbles. When we got home out step mom came out and said"Why did you guys stay to long there sleeping". Our dad was happy to see us. When the night came againg the they were talking again about leaving us in the forest but even more farther inside.
When the next morning came it happend the same thing and my borther could get any more pebbles bacause our step mom had locked our room. We got a peace of bread the was smaller that the one two day ago and this time the crums of the bread didn't lead us back home but it leads us to a house made of bread and windows made of sugar.

"The Outcasts of Poker Flat"

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
-outcasts
----------
If would blame someone for the deaths I would blame Uncle Billy. I would blame him because what he did was really wrong in just leaving them there with no food or atleats telling them he is leaving. I think he was the one that he was planining to do that. If Uncle Billy would have never leaft with all the food while Tommy went back to get help they would have still being alive and they would keep on going with a little more food and no one will had a death like that. They should have never trusted uncle billy.

Kate Chopin

"The story of an hour"
The story was about a woman that had a husband that liked controlling her. She wanted to be free and wished that life wasn't going to be so long and then they came and told her that her husband is death she she was happy but pretended she wasn't and cried. She was thinking how happy and free she could be once and then she sow her husband coming in the door from the house. They said he died of happiness but she didn't she died of shock. What I learned about this story was that people could hide things for a very good time and live misserval like the lady that wasn't happy but still lived with her husband. What I liked about this story was that the ending of it because it was really nice how she died from shock and everyone else though she died from happiness. What I didn't like from the story was that it ended very short. Freedom in this story means in many kind of ways because she got her freedom from death. She is free but she is death.
******************
"The Blind Man"
The story Blind Man was about a poor guy that was blind and no one helped him do anything. People sow how he was sweating under the hot sun and no one told him totake off his jacket. Everyone ignored him and then one day there was an acsident with some rich guy and everyone went to see him. They old blind men wonder were were all the people coming from the ones he heard . What I learnend in this story is that people are discriminated for how poor and how rich they are becasue no one help the old blind men that was very hugry and thisty but they did go to see the rich guy tha got ran over. What I like about this story is that the rich man got ran over and nothing happend to the old blind guy. I didn't like that they didn't put anything in the story to help the guy , that made me feel bad. In this story is about rich and poor becasue to the poor guy he is like invisible and the rich guy everyone oes to look at him. The poor guy is like a penny in the floor and the rich guys is like 25 cents.
***********
"Desiree's Baby"
In Desiree's Baby the girl was found and taking in by some white people. She grow up to be a beautiful girl and then she got marry. The guy she got marry to was from france.
The baby they had was getting dark and then the father ayed the mom was the black one in the realiship and he found a letter from there parents that sayed he ws son from black fathers. What I learned from this story is not to take a move until you kow its complety true . What I liked about this story was that there was an ending so cool becasue of the letter his mother sent to hi father. I think racism stoped when thing liked this happend so maybe more things like this should happen.

---------------
Fifth Hour: They keep on fighting like they were young but when they see them self's in the mirror's they look old.
---------------
Last Hour: They dropped the water that makes them young for the stupid things they were doing and now they will become old. They will go look for the water in Florida and if that water come knocking on my door will not touch it because I don't want to do the same mistakes I did when I was young.
