Reflection Questions 152-156 on night

152. I believe that he wrote this book because he wants to tell the world what he went through and what he did to survive. He also is telling this because he doesn't want anything of this to happen again, and also to show the things he went through and how these things affect him today.

153. I think he choose the title night because the night is dark and evil sometimes and it explains how the people that were doing this to them were dark and evil.

154. He changes because he remembers everything he went through and the things that happen he lost his family and his friends and he literally went through hell and back these things would follow him through the rest of his life.

155. He finally tries to get over it he gets married and i think he had some kids and it helped but those memories i think would never go away even if he tried, and he also writtes the book night.

156. there is still genocide in this world in many parts of places and i think that shouldn't be the case because no matter who or what you are you shouldn't get judged by it and you also shouldn't be killed for it thats dumb there was a reason why he made this book and its because he doesn't want this to happen again it took guts to actually writte what he did all his experiences and poeple shouldn't do that anymore. I think what they have to do is not only have one country helping out these places where genocide is happening and help out so that these things never happen again.

act 2

1.What do you like best about Anne Frank? How would you like having her as a friend? The thing that I like about anne frank is that she is a very cool person to hang out with and she knows what she is talking about not like othr and she acts more mature then everyone else. I would like her as a friend she might a really cool friend too.

2. What disturbing news does Mr. Kraler bring on New Year’s Day? There was somebody downstairs where they were hiding.
b. what hint does this give about the ending of the play? That somebody knows and he or shee might snitch on them that they are hiding upstairs.

3. what is the time span of act III? The time span is like from 1 or 2 years.
b. how have the characters changed since the end of act I? they have changed because in the beginning they didn’t know each other and then they started to know each other better and they also matured the kids like Anne, Peter, and Margot.
c. how do you know that Anne has changed? Anne has changed because in the beginning she was very disrespectful and then by the end of the book she respects everyone better and talks a lot less.

4. how can Anne believe that ‘’…in spite of everything… people are really good at heart?’’Because she doesn’t judge a raice just by one set of people like Miep was helping them and Mr.crawler so she believes that they are good and not all people are mean or evil like them.
b. what does Mr. Frank mean when he says: ‘’she puts me to shame’’? He probably means that he thought oh this raice is evil everyone single one but she thought differently and more grown up.

5. for each of the following events, identify one cause and one eaffec:
a. Mr. Van Dann’s decision to steal food?
Cause: was very hungry and wanted some food.
Effect: They caught him and Mrs.Frank wanted to kick him out because he was stealing food for other people.
b. Mrs. Frank’s change of heart about wanting the Van Danns to leave?
Cause: They told her that America had already started the invasion and she was happy and didn’t think they were going to be there for much longer.
Effect: The Van Daan’s stayed and they got caught with them as well.

6. what are some possible causes about wanting the Van Dann’s attitude toward Anne and Peter’s relationship? The possible causes are like they didn’t like how the franks made the decision of letting another person in the house and the Van Daans didn’t like it so instead of showing it on the older Franks they take it out on Anne.

7. living in close quarters has multiple effects on the residents of the ‘’Secret Annex.’’ List three effects that result from this single cause.
Cause 1: Peter and Anne fall in love with one another.
Cause 2: They all become close like a family or they become enemies like Mrs. Frank and Mr. Van Daan.
Cause 3: They learn more about each other.

8. On a chart like the one shown, identify the possible motivation behind the actions listed.
Character action motivation

rooms. Because if it was her she
would want somone to
help her out.

Mr. Van Daan Steals food when other people where Was hungry and not
Sleeping so he could eat. Accostumed to eating
So litle.

Peter Van Daan trying to save his cat. was his only friend


9. What are possible motivations might and informer have for telling the authorities about the families in hiding? Maybe they got caught with the police for doing something so he/she turned them in so they could get out of trouble.

Act

1. The famalies must obey strict rules to avoid discovery. Which rules would be the hardest for you to follow? Why? The hardest rule in my opinion is not to be able to go outside and play because I would feel very bored if I could not go out and life would suck for me.

2.In scene 1, what objects does Mr.frank find in the secret rooms? He finds the diary and the white glove.
b. How are these objects connected with the rest of the act? These objects are connected because the diary is what he is writing and the white glove is what he finds the last thing of her daughter.

3. What speaciel meaning does hanukkah have for the families? It has a speciel meaning which gives the family hope and thinking they could soon be free again.
b. What do Anne’s presents show about her? It shows that even if they are living terribly she can still find a way to celebrate a holiday, and that she still has hope and she doesn’t think that she is going to live there for a long time.
c. Why do the others react with enthusiasm to their presents? They act in enthusiasm because that is what they wanted and they were surprised that they got a gift because they were in hiding.

4. Discuss Mr.franks statement ‘’there are….No locks that anyone can put on your mind’’ how does ann prove that this is true. She proved it to be right because she thought of people like normal she didn’t that one group of people were evil she thought that only a few of them are like that not all of them.

5. What is the historical cause that forces the franks to go into hiding? Because The nazi’s are getting people and putting them in concentration camps.
b. What effects does this situation have on their daily lives? They have to hide so that they could not be found and sent to concentration camps were they could die.

6. What effects do the nazis intend the wearing of the stars to have on the jews? It probably just wanted them to think they were going to die because of that and that it was evil and to get their confidence down and make them feel different from everyone else.
b. What backround information about the Nazi’s treatment of the jews helps you link this cause with its intended effects? They made them work at concentration camps thinking that they were going to be free if they worked hard but they just ended up sending to death camps and killing them and the stars helped them determine who was a jew and who wasn’t.

7.

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. It revealed that some people did want to help Mr.Kraler like the franks but the Van Daans didn’t like the idea especially Mr. Van daan so some were good hearted and some were just bad.

Hansel and Gretal

Hello i am the father of Hansel and Gretal and we are a poor family we know other people that are also poor but out of all of them we are the poorest. Me and wife couldn't find away to maintain and support our kids we couldn't even eat ourselves we would have to starve ourselves so that the kids could eat. the kids didn't really like their stepmother they thought she was a very mean lady i thought she was a nice person but i guess their is always two sides to one person. One day me and my wife had not eaten for two days and we were really hungry their was barely enough food to feed the children my wife finally said we have to eat to and your kids have to be dealt with. She said lets leave them in the forest with one piece of bread and make them a fire i told her that i couldn't leave my kids their but i was also hungry so i finally said ok then lets do it. We left them in the forest with a fire and some other things i had noticed that my son was very clever and was dropping rocks so that he could find his way back but i didn't tell my wife because i wanted them to find their way home. we left them there they fell asleep and i thought to myself i am going to miss them hopefully they can find their way back.

it was the middle of the night and i had lost hope that they could get back home, but then they surprised me and showed up at the house i was very excited. I sent them to go to sleep in their room i thought my wife was going to give up trying to abandon them but i was wrong she wanted to try again and I didn't like the idea i didn't care if died of hunger but i want my kid to eat. She convinced me to take them to the woods again and i also saw my kid throwing bread on the floor i thought it was good idea but a waste of food i thought they could make it back again i was happy. I waited and waited but they still weren't at my house i lost hope i was really sad, but i thought about how i was going to atleast not starve. I kept on thinking about the kids i miss them i only hope that they survive or someone finds them and helps them out i just hope that happens.

Well i was very sad but also happy atleast i could share my life with the women i liked not love because lately she has been acting like a well i cant say but you know what i mean. She instead was screaming at me i would go to work and come back tired she would make me do work while she was in the house sleeping she is really mean to me but its ok i dont mind atleast i wont be starving. After a while i was eating but i still couldn't forget my kids thinking if they were ok but its ok i think they will be ok. My wife started acting bad and she started eating up all the food and she left me starving sometimes so i planned revenge for my kids and for me. i told her to lets go into the forest for a while and look for something like firewood and things for dressing up like things to make clothes. we went deep into the forest i didn't even know were we were but i took something my son did i spread rocks so i could go back home she didn't see i was happy i was going to leave her in the forest like what she made me do to my kids. I told her that we were lost i made a fire and we were sleeping she was knocked so when she was sleeping i left her there i went home and i made the rocks gone i was happy when i got home i was sad i had no one but then my kids came in i was so happy i told them that she died hahaha they believed me and they were happy!!!.

Adam's Diary

Saturday
I have been alive for a while and i feel good i can walk and run i think by myself it is pretty fun but i must act serious not let anyone think i am easy to kill and i dont want to become their prey to any animal. first i start to explore the places like the trees learned how to climb them it is fun to just lay down their with no problems pretty cool for me. i am not a talkative person i like to think about things instead of saying them and i like to remember things i am quite lazy and i feel very different from all the wildlife here i am the only one that walks on two legs and the only that is smart enough to protect myself from the harsh conditions outside.
Sunday
it has been one day that i have been alive and ive felt coldness, lonelyness and being scared this is weird because these things are things that i havent felt before it is weird but i think im ok. The things i eat to stay alive consist of fruits because i havent seen anything else that i could eat but it is ok because fruit tastes really good and i am happy. everything is good until the night it gets cold and i dont have anything to cover myself up but its ok ill figure something out. finally i covered myself up with a piece of cloth and leaves i think i will call how i was before naked i think it is a good word for that
Next week sunday
i found something in the wildlife that walks like me and it almost like me except it is a girl i think i will follow her around and see what she does. she spotted me i run away but i walk because i dont want her to think i am weak and useless if i run from her. she keeps following me she is naked i tell her but she doesn't understand i think she is dumb i climb my tree and i just hope she doesn't wait for me outside.
Wensday
She keeps on following me it is weird and annoying but strangely i am attracted to her she might think that i am just pushing her away but to tell the truth i kinda like her bugging me it makes me feel not lonely i feel good when i am around her.
Next friday
She is very interesting she makes names for everything sometimes it annoys me but atleast she is learning things. she say she created something called fire at first it looked interesting but then i thought it might be dangerous so i just left so yea. i told her not to go and get apples from the tree i just hope she listens to me.
Monday noon
Well i am starting to realize that eve is pretty good and i am getting more attracted to her but i think that she doesn't like me that much because i am not paying attention to her but i hope she does know that sometimes she does annoy me.

The lion and the woman

The woman was a peaceful person and very rich she never bothered anyone never caused any harm to anyone,the only problem that she had was that she wanted everything and no one would deny her. One day she was watching tv and she noticed that there were animals very beutiful ones she had to have one she wanted a lion she decided she was going to buy it and she did. One week with the lion she thought it was beutiful she kept it in a cage it looked like the lion liked it she then approached it with no concern it started to talk and said too come into the cage and she did go in the lion then said you will now suffer i have been in a cage and you will now suffer how i did so she did so and the lion kept her in the cage for several days and then let her go she also let the lion go in return.

The lesson here is

even how much you think you have to have something it isnt good to inprison it beuty should be left free.
