Anne Frank:

The Diary of a Young Girl

Part 1: Moving in

Summary:

    Anne Frank's birthday is June 12, the year is 1942. One of her presents was a diary, that she had begun to write on her birthday. For her birthday she goes out with her friends to school and she has a great time. She lives in Holland, and during this time is when the nazi's start to invade this country. The jews had to wear gold stars on them to be recognized by the Nazis. The jews were not allowed to ride any vehicle or bike, and were to only go to the store during certain hours. So Anne had to be back before dark. That same year her Grandmother died, it became more difficult for their family. Anne meets a boy named Hello and start to hang out a lot but Anne says she is in love with a guy names Peter, not Hello. Anne's sister gets a call up from the nazi's, the family puts as many clothes on them as possible and move into a office building the next day. Anne then started getting afraid of what was going to happen later on.

Review:

    What I have read has taken my mind set on World War II and changed it completely. The way the rules were set out was absurd. The nazi's were very controlling and no one could do anything about it. This book is very interesting because it gets you going on what is going to happen next.

Focus Questions:

• Why did she go to school if she is not allowed to?
• Why would the jews go to the store during a certain time if they can get taken away by the Nazi's at that time?
• Why doesn't the family take suitcases, why do they put all the clothes on them?
