4. Key passages

   • "Hence, this diary. In order to enhance in my mind's eye the picture of the friend for whom I have waited so long, I don't want to set down a series of bald facts in a diary like most people do, but I want this diary itself to be my friend, and I shall call my friend Kitty." -Anne Frank
   • "I see the eight of us with our 'Secret Annexe' as if we were a little piece of blue heaven, surrounded by heavy black rain clouds." -Anne Frank
   • "The world has turned topsy-turvy, respectable people are being sent off to concentration camps, prisons, and lonely cells, and the dregs that remain govern young and old, rich and poor. One person walks into the trap through the black market, a second through helping the Jews or other people who've had to go 'underground'; anyone who isn't a member of the N.S.B. doesn't know what may happen to him from one day to another." -Anne Frank

6. Connections

   • Text to Text: 'Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl' is somewhat like Corrie Ten Boom's 'The Hiding Place', seeing as how it takes place in the same time period and how they were both, in a sense, real live people living in that time and yearning to be free.
   • Text to Self: Most thirteen year old girls could probably relate to 'feeling quite alone in the world', as Anne puts it.
   • Text to World: I feel as if there are people who are in hiding just as the Franks and the Van Daans and Mr. Dussel were; living in that constant fear of being found out and not being able to do anything about it.
