So far in the book Anne Frank the Diary of a Young Girl, Anne and her family have had to move from their house into a office building. In the office they currently live with a few other families, and are debating letting two more people stay. They had to move out of their house because Anne’s sister Margot was sent a letter,”...Margot told me that the call-up was not for Daddy, but for her” (Anne Frank 14). Anne’s parents decided that Margot should not go. Soon after they moved into the office building to hide. If there was ever a knock on the door they did not know whether to answer it or hide.
So far throughout the story Anne Frank expresses much about herself. She shares he feelings, emotions, and thoughts. But, it makes me wonder did she ever feel afraid that someone might find her diary? In her diary she talks about what the office looks like and she mentions where their hiding spot is, “The right-hand door leads to our “Secret Annexe.” No one would ever guess that there would be so many rooms hidden behind that plain gray door. There’s a little step in front of the door and then you are inside” (Anne Frank 18). If someone was looking for Jews to take away this could have affected everyone in the building because they would know exactly where to find them.
As I was reading I learned some interesting facts that made me wonder a bit. One fact that I learned about was his Anne, her family, and all the other families lived in a dark office building. While they were in the building they couldn’t be loud or make much noise because they didn’t want to be noticed. Anne and Margot were at the door when, “Each time the bell went, Margot or I had to creep softly down to see if it was Daddy, not opening the door to anyone else” (Anne Frank 14). I think this mainly affected Anne and her sister, Margot, because they are still at a young age where they want to have fun and be loud. But, they are unfortunately not able to do so. If they do get noticed they would most likely be taken away to a concentration camp.
Mentioning Anne Frank and the secret rooms are important because it explains the struggles of her life. It seemed as if life was really hard for Anne Frank and how much she will have to live in fear. It is amusing to me because with one diary, you can discover many secrets about living in Germany during her time. This was a really well written blog and very informative.
