how does anne compare her situation in the annex to what other are facing, particularly to the other two young people here?

noname [10]

Answer:

Anne thinks that other people treat her with contempt in the Annex, unlike the way they treat the two young people (Peter and Margot). She always hears things about herself being an "exasperated child" while Margot (Anne's sister) and Peter (the son of van Daans) were always considered the role models. She complained about how she's always being told and it seemed like everyone notices her as a nuisance.

Explanation:

The "Secret Annex" is the name of the small apartment where Anne Frank lived together with 7 other people (total of 8). They were always scared of being discovered, thus they never went outside.

The two young people being referred to in the story are "Peter" and "Margot" whom Anne thinks are actually "not young" and are "boring."
