Hello. You did not inform what work this question refers to, but through the context of the question and the name of the character, we can consider that you are referring to the theater play "Anne Frank" that reproduces Anne Frank's account of the time that she went into hiding with her family before being deported to a Nazi concentration camp.
Although Anne and her entire family had been in hiding for three years, they had Austrian friends who helped them have supplies necessary for food and hygiene. One of those friends was Mr. Kraler. However, one day he brought a news that caused concern to all the residents of the hideout, which was called a secret annex that was in a commercial building. Mr. Kraler claimed that a warehouse worker could have discovered the Frank family's hiding place and was blackmailing Mr. Kraler so that he would not divulge what he knew. This worried the Franks a lot and is connected to Act 1, as it shows that all the care and preparation of the family to not be discovered, in Act 1, may have been in vain.
Hello!
As much as I would love to help you, this is a project where no one can help you. You have to come up with your own answer. Writing is generally about expressing your thoughts based off of the information given. However, I can give you a few pointers to writing a successful paper!
1) In this circumstance, you don't want to give your opinion about shepherding, but rather give facts without being biased (think about a good reporter, they are supposed to give facts without showing preference to one side of the story).
2) Next, go through all of your sources and label anything mentioning your given topic. (like a detective!). I highly recommend using sticky notes.
3) Then read through everything that you labeled and write down key ideas and themes throughout your sources.
4) Then, just write down anything that comes to mind about the topic. You can edit later.
5) Make sure you do it in one sitting, so that you don't disrupt your train of thought.
Good luck! I wish you all the best on your project! Hope it goes well, and I hope I was able to help in some way. One of the best things to do when you are overwhelmed is to just sit down and write. That way you have something to work with, then you can edit accordingly.
