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

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

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.

How would ''Girl'' be different if it were called ''Boy''? Discuss the cultural assumptions behind your response.

The short piece "Girl," by Jamaica Kincaid, is all about the expectations and roles of women, as well as young girls becoming women, in a patriarchal society. If the piece were named "Boy," the expectations and instructions would be completely different, and I suspect, less accusatory and careful.


Hope this helps :)

If you look, you can see in 1998, it shows males getting into more fatal accidents.  However, in 2008, it seems as though there are more females who get into accidents.  The only thing I've noticed is how they don't state whether some of these people had caused the accident or died in the accident.

Answer:

  1. demonstrated
  2. hit
  3. coached
  4. launched
  5. depreciated
  6. ran
  7. stretched
  8. jumped
  9. comforted
  10. identified
  11. sang

Explanation:

  1. No other verb fits well within this sentence.
  2. Baseball players have bats so they <em>hit</em> the ball over the fence. None of the other verbs made sense with this sentence.

I could keep going, but instead I advice you to use context clues to determine which verb is correct. You can also just use process of elimination by inserting random verbs into the sentence, reading it aloud, and crossing out each incorrect or abnormal sounding verb until you reach one that suits the sentence.
