Why is the cake important in this part of the scene (Act 1)?

English
1 answer:
miss Akunina [59]3 years ago
4 0

This question refers to the play "The Diary of Anne Frank." In this play, we learn about a cake that Miep and Mr. Kraler have brought to the annex, where Anne and her family are hiding. The cake reads "Peace in 1944."

The cake is significant because of the way in which it reveals the hidden tensions between the characters. We learn that the characters are initially happy to receive the cake, but that conflict begins soon after. Mr. Dussel believes that Mrs. Van Daan gives her husband a larger piece, while Mr. Van Daan does not want to give Margot cake. This reveals that problems are becoming more serious in the annex, and that tensions are high. It also shows that some characters, such as Mr. Van Daan, are quite selfish and greedy.

Are people more likely to be happy if they focus on goals other than their own happiness ? Thoughts?
Ymorist [56]

I think so because being able to say you did/accomplished something, can bring you a sense of purpose and happiness. If you focus on merely trying to be happy,  you will get carried away and frustrated, but if you set goals, and accomplish them, you wil  feel like a winner.

The author calls the ocean a complex patchwork of environments and it says it's not limitless. Explain what you think this means
KatRina [158]

Answer and Explanation:

When the author states that the ocean is like a patchwork quilt, he is referring to how the ocean is a highly diverse environment. As you already know, a patchwork is an object made up of elements that are completely different from each other, but which are able to harmoniously join together to form the patchwork. The ocean is also like that, as it is formed by several elements that are completely different, but that come together in harmony.

However, the ocean is not infinite, on the contrary, it can have an end, due to pollution and intense human exploitation that degrades the ocean immensely. This is what the author wants to present when he says that the ocean is not limitless.

What are 5 natural resources in antarctica and how are they used
Degger [83]

Although coal, hydrocarbons, iron ore, platinum, copper, chromium, nickel, gold and other minerals have been found, they have not been in large enough quantities to exploit. The 1991 Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty also restricts a struggle for resources.
