Question

1. What is the central idea in this excerpt of the text and how does Anne develop it? Make sure to use A.C.E (Answer/Restate-Cite-Explain) *the diary of a young girl*

Answer 1

Answer:

Once Anne first reaches at the annex, this woman can't stop thinking about Peter Schiff, a boy she spent a lot of time with a summer before he decided Anne was too young for him. Still, Anne is convinced that it is true love and that one day they will be together. Anne transcribes, "He is sweetheart Peter like I have never loved anyone, and I tell myself that he just hangs out with all those other girls to hide his feelings for me."

Author doesn't think double almost Peter van Daan, the sixteen-year-old boy who moves into the annex with his parents. Anne sums it up as "... a shy and awkward boy whose company will not be too much." Sometimes he doesn't even seem to like it, referring to him as a lazy.

She feels sorry for him because his parents are constantly arguing, and they have a propensity for physical and emotional abuse towards Peter, but his hypersensitivity and constant complaints about health problems are irritating.
