In Act I, Scene 4 of The Diary of Anne Frank, we notice that Anne and Peter are at a particularly awkward and delicate stage in their lives. They are not quite children, but have not fully developed into adults. You can probably relate to how they feel. In this scene, Mrs. Van Daan embarrasses Peter by calling Anne his "little girlfriend." How do you think Peter really feels toward Anne? Write about a time when an adult did or said something to embarrass you. How did you react? How was your experience simliar or different from Peter and Anne's? Your answer should be about 150 words in length.

Anne changed in many ways over the two years she was writing her diary. Some of these changes can be described as “growth.” She became an astute observer of politics, and of human nature, and she became a very practiced and well-educated writer. Many of her diary entries suggest a mind mature past her years, and we forget we are reading the work of a teenager.

You could make up something about your experience if you don't have one.

You could say you had a bestfriend when you were 11 or 12 and that you're mom asked him or her if you guys were dating or something like that.

Answer:

How do I think Peter really felt toward Anne? I think that Peter did not like her at first. She annoyed him all the time and he thought she talked too much. When she puts on his clothes and pretends to be him he likes her less. You can tell that he thinks she is childish. He gets used to her in time and was worried about her when she had a nightmare. A time when an adult did something that embarrassed me was on my birthday. My friends and I were at the high school track field. My mom had taken us there waiting for our movie to start at the theater. She told them that I still rode in a car seat in 5th grade when nobody else did because I am short. I covered my face then changed the subject really quickly. It was super embarrassing. I guess it is different from Peter and Anne's because mine happened around multiple people and they only had a few. I had my friends, who were all girls, while theirs happened between a boy and a girl, which is why it was more embarrassing.

Hope this helps!
