Paragraph Number 1:  "I have previously written about how much we are affected by atmospheres here, and I think that in my own case this trouble is getting much worse lately."

Reason for choosing: I liked this paragraph because of the description of how bad it actually is while they are hiding. I also enjoyed this sentence because of the first few words "I have previously written about how much we are affected by the atmospheres here" I like the way she used "atmosphere" in the sentence, it grabs the readers attention, and makes them understand about how she actually feels there.

(PAGE NUMBER 123 PARAGRAPH 1)

Paragraph Number 2: "My eyes look so clear and deep, my cheeks are pink - which they haven't been for weeks - mt mouth is so much softer; I look as if I am happy and yet there is something so sad in my expression and my smile slips away from my lips as soon as it has come"

Reason for choosing: I chose this paragraph because it really deeply describes her feelings and style of writing is amazing.

(PAGE NUMBER 135 PARAGRAPH 2)

Paragraph Number 3: "Now I look back at Anne as an amusing, but very superficial girl who has nothing to do with Anne of today"

Reason for choosing: This is personally my favorite paragraph from the because of the way she realizes that in the time while she was hiding, and rarely people ever admit that they were either bad in their past or in the present. Anne admits that before she was okay, but that now she is completely different.

Pages read this rotation: 80 (from page 200 to end of book)

Task: Connector

Paragraph:

 The Diary of Anne Frank displays many different connections between the main character/writer and typical people these days in her age group (12-15 year olds). These connections are displayed all throughout the book but mainly towards the end. This diary may seem emotionally appealing or similar towards many stereotypical teenagers because the writer is in a developing stage, and writes about her encounters with problems our generation faces every day, for example happiness, sadness, love, hate, fear and more.

Task: Travel Tracer 

                                Anne Frank - The Diary of A Young Girl beings to take action in Anne's home in Amsterdam, Holland. The novel begins the day after Anne's birthday. During the beginning of the novel she explains basic information about her, her family, education and friends.

                               The key events in the novel occur as Anne and her family temporarily migrate to a home in Amsterdam to keep them and another family (the Van Daans) in hiding. They are hiding on the second floor of the house, in a set of chambers hidden behind a cupboard. This set of rooms is described in the novel as the " Secret Annexe". During the time that Anne is hiding in the Annexe, she encounters different things that define her character throughout the time she is hiding.

                               The events currently ended on Thursday, the 5th of August, while Anne, her family, and the other people that are in hiding within the "Secret Annexe" were having lunch together, after a few days of hearing the bombs.
