Diary of a Young Girl Question #5

Think about the ways in which Anne reacts to the everyday struggles of living so closely with her family and other occupants of the Secret Annexe.  How are her emotions a testament to the timelessness of literature?  In other words, discuss the ways in which Ann’s emotions, though she lived so long ago, are similar to emotions you yourself encounter today.

*Support your answer with examples from the book.

Before Hitler and the Nazis began transporting Jewish people to concentration camps, they first enacted Nuremberg Laws that restricted Jewish people’s freedom.  Discuss which restrictions you felt were harshest and analyze what they did to the Jewish population’s morale.

Diary of a Young Girl Question #4

I’ve told you in class that one of the reasons I feel it is valuable to still read Anne’s Diary is because I feel reading the Diary helps prevent society from making the same mistakes that enabled the Holocaust to happen.  Do you agree or disagree with my justification? Support your answer as best you can by providing specific examples from knowlege you base your decision on.

*All teams must reply and respond to one another’s answers

Diary of a Young Girl Question #3

Discuss your involvement with the Diary. Are you feeling as though you “know” Anne? Are you pondering what happened to the millions of Holocaust victims? Do you feel indifferent? Do you feel as though the Diary reads like a fictional story?
