Read the excerpt from the play The Diary of Anne Frank. MR. FRANK There's something more. Go on. Look further. (He goes over to
the sink, pouring a glass of milk from a thermos bottle.) ANNE (Pulling out a pasteboard-bound book) A diary! (She throws her arms around her father.) I've never had a diary. And I've always longed for one. Which is one content difference between the play and the The Diary of a Young Girl?
The difference is that in the book Anne receives the diary outside the secret annex.
Explanation:
Anne Frank is the author of "The Diary of a Young Girl" where she recounts the times she was hidden, in a secret annex, along with family and other Jews during World War II. All were hidden so as not to be taken to the Nazi concentration camps. However, Anne starts writing in the diary long before she has to hide, as she won the diary at a birthday party, when Jews were still free citizens. In the play, this moment is presented differently, as Anne receives the diary when she is already hidden in the secret annex.
