Today my group and I discussed the first 90 pages of the autobiography of Anne Frank. So far, Anne Frank has introduced her situation and her life and the reasons she has to live in a hidden annex. The book gives a thorough description of World War II from a Jewish perspective. It's completely authentic due to the fact it was written by a thirteen year old girl at the time.
I felt that this drawing really depicted, not necessarily a specific scene from the book but the general situation that Anne's family and many other Jewish family at that time were experiencing. On one side is the Nazi Germany party drawing where I depicted Hitler and his supporters all raising their right arm. As one can see by the drawing, they look extremely conservative and uniqueness seems to be looked down on.
On the other half of the drawing is Anne's family and situation which illustrates Anne's family in terms of not only physical appearance but also their personality. For example, I showed Mrs. Van Daan's dislike for Anne by her saying 'Anne, you're the worst child!' I also demonstrated the obvious favoritism that Anne's mother has for Margot and how Peter, the son in the Van Daan family seems to have a thing for Anne.
