Please help!!In Act I, Scene 4 of The Diary of Anne Frank, we notice that Anne and Peter are at a particularly awkward and delic
ate stage in their lives. They are not quite children, but have not fully developed into adults. You can probably relate to how they feel. In this scene, Mrs. Van Daan embarrasses Peter by calling Anne his "little girlfriend." How do you think Peter really feels toward Anne? Write about a time when an adult did or said something to embarrass you. How did you react? How was your experience simliar or different from Peter and Anne's? Your answer should be about 150 words in length.
One time an adult did something to embarrass me was when my dad ran through the orchestra at one of my concerts. I was playing violin for about 350 people and my dad screamed "That's my daughter!!" while we were playing. To make it worse, he stood there (in the middle of everyone) and took pictures of me! This made me very mad because it caught me off guard. It distracted me so I messed up the music. I felt upset but at the same time, I laughed because he does things like that a lot.
My experience was somewhat similar to Peter and Anne's because I was really embarrassed and so were they. My experience was more frustrating though. Anne and Peter were more embarrassed like blushing. As you can see, our experiences were different but also similar.
How do I think Peter really felt toward Anne? I think that Peter did not like her at first. She annoyed him all the time and he thought she talked too much. When she puts on his clothes and pretends to be him he likes her less. You can tell that he thinks she is childish. He gets used to her in time and was worried about her when she had a nightmare. A time when an adult did something that embarrassed me was on my birthday. My friends and I were at the high school track field. My mom had taken us there waiting for our movie to start at the theater. She told them that I still rode in a car seat in 5th grade when nobody else did because I am short. I covered my face then changed the subject really quickly. It was super embarrassing. I guess it is different from Peter and Anne's because mine happened around multiple people and they only had a few. I had my friends, who were all girls, while theirs happened between a boy and a girl, which is why it was more embarrassing.
Antipositivism relates to various historical debates in the philosophy and sociology of science. In modern practice, however, interpretivism may be equated with qualitative research methods, while positivist research is more quantitative.
