Question

Read over lines 48-80. What is Anne’s view of the tension between herself and her family? Consider how Anne’s living conditions might contribute to her frustrations, using text evidence if possible.

Answer 1

Answer with Explanation:

The tension that Anne sees between her family and herself is the fact that she mentioned about how Hitler's coming to power affected their family, particularly her relationship with them. For example, they needed to move to Holland because Hitler hated the Jews. So, this means that they have to adjust to many things. Although his father was able to start a business, it was halted when the war came. This caused another distress to them, which means Anne needed to stop going to Dutch school and they have to go into hiding. Such condition contributed to Anne's frustration because she wanted to learn in school and become a journalist in the future, but with the war happening around them, she knew she won't be able to pursue her ambitions anymore.
