The theme of a work is not its subject or topic, but rather what that subject means - what idea or insight it reveals about hum(s) aretence - what is the author's message to the planet? Themes are revealed gradually as we learn about the characters and their predicament. Keep a LIVING post (one which you keep adding to every time you log on to your blog) about what you think the play's theme(s) is/are.

Forshadowing: foreshadowing is the use of clues or hints to suggest events that will occure later in the plot. Why does Mr. Frank break down when he sees the glove?
Mr. Frank breaks down in the beginning of the play/movie and begins the whole story as a flashback. As the story goes, this part is not really a foreshadowing, but in a sense it is a foreshadowing because it tells us that this story will have a sad ending. The glove Mr. Frank sees is Anne's and seeing it and cracking up tells us that Anne faced a sad ending, prosumable lost or dead. However, according to Wikipedia - Online Free Encyclopedia entire Van Dann family, Mr. Dussel, and Mrs. Frank, Margot, and Anne faces death in the concentration camp.

Act 1: "But always remember this, Anneke. There are no walls, there are no bolts, no locks that anyone can put on your mind." Explain what you think this statement means. Do you agree with this statement? Why or why not?
I agree with this statement up to certain degree. It is very true that under any opression we can still have our hope and thought for it is our own private place, where nobody can reach. Nobody is capalbe of putting limits on your mind, but at the same time it is physicially possible to do so. For instance, for over 50 years medical science has been able to remove memories, or to chemically brain wash people. The control of media and surrounding is what sets up our world and limit so manupilating such can se4t our own mental limits to our imaginations and thoughts. For instance if we were raised in some moon station, we might feel normal to be able to jump 50 feet to the air, while we know in our head it is impossible. But at the same time even if you were born in the moon you have the freedom to think how it might be like to live on Earth with 6 times the gravity.

Act I, Scenes 1-3: What do you think would be the hardest part of life in the Secret Annex: the fear of discovery, the need to keep silent for hours at a time, the sharing of cramped quarters with strangers, or some other aspect? Explain.
I think the hardest part of being in the secret Annex was the separation from the rest of the world. I couldn't imagine a life without friends isolated from the rest of the world being with only elderly boy and sister. Being silent is something I can deal with. Stay up and live at night and sleep from morning till the workers go home, which could solve the problem of being quiet as well as much of the fear of discovery because the Green Police would most likely not come at night. Being cramped is something very hard to deal with but it is something that you can get used to, and privacy is the least of your problems. But having to live without friends would have been a torture, and also for teenagers being stuck with their parents might also prove to be torture as well. We can see that it was hard for Anne in the way that she wrote imaginary letters as well as starting the diary, not only to kill time, but to have someone to share the deepest descrets and talk to people.

Act I, Scenes 4, 5: How do the events following Anne's nightmare reveal tension between Anne and two other members of the household?
I believe that the events following Anne's nightmare tells us that Anne has tension rising with Mr. Dussel and her mom. Mr. Dussel complains how one day Anne will doom them all, and speaks of her bickering and things while Anne was terrified, and Mrs. Frank comes to comfort Anne, but Anne only looks for Mr. Frank. Mrs. Frank's german (?) tells us that she is very uncomfortable at the fact Anne prefers her father much more than her mother.

Why are there so many books, movies, documentaries, etc. about the Holocaust? Why do we keep retelling this story?
We make books, movies, documentaries and others about the Holocaust to remember, to know what human is capalbe of. We make these things to remember what Jews went through to know what they have been through to resepect them and what they have gone through. We make these things as memorial to remember them so that the history may not repeat itself, and to not have prejudice in our daily lives. To see what prejudice can lead to, and so that we don't do the same thing.

Question: What do you think this play reveals about our need for freedom? About the power of love? About courage and hope? About good and evil? In your answers, consider how the play's themes relate to the themes of another work, such as The Taming of the Shrew.
Answer: This play about Anne Frank tells us our thrieve and need for freedom. We can live without freedom, but it would not be a true "life." I mean would the life that the Franks, Van Danns and the Mr.Dussel's life be true "life"? The life chained by the fear bounded within the secret annex, and the life of bodom and repeating days without freedom. There is the part where Mrs. Frank is worried about Anne's health, and Mr. Frank says somethig about how what Anne has nothing that won't be solved by playing with her friends and fresh air outside. The power of love was what held the Franks and Van Danns kept in the annex. I would not have invited other families especially if my own family lacked in food and space, but Mr. Frank had love to care for others and that was what kept all of them together. The courage and hope was what kept those who lived in secrecy to keep living. The courage to face the fear of being caught to counter the fear they faced every day, and to have hope that the Nazi and the Germans will be one day defeated. The good of man is what kept those who hid to be taken care of, while it was the evilness of of man that caused all fear, dread, death, and evilness. I have never read any novels considering the Holocaust, but through the Anne Frank, I have gained interest in Holocaust and I hope to find and read some more books about it, to honor those who bravely encountered these unjustice, and to remember what mankind is capable of.
