Est1 Task 5

Anne explained that she was born in a yellow house in Bolingbroke, Nova Scotia in March. Her father’s name was Walter Shirley and her mother was Bertha Shirley. Both Water and Bertha Shirley were teachers at the Bolingbroke High School. However, Berth gave up her profession when she married Walter. Unfortunately, when Anne was only three months old, her mother succumbed to a severe fever which claimed Bertha’s life. Afterwards, four days from the death of Bertha, Walter also died from the same disease. The Shirleys do not have any relatives, so Anne was put in the care of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas until she was eight years old. However, it seems to be the fate of Anne to be orphaned and abandoned by the people she loves. This is because, Mr. Thomas died by falling under a train, consequently, Mrs. Thomas cannot afford to look after Anne solely by herself because she has her four own children that required utmost care. Then, Anne Shirley lived with Mrs. Hammond for a period of two years until the latter died. That was the time when Anne Shirley was brought to the Hopetown Asylum where she spent four months until the she was mistakenly given to the Cuthbert siblings. Anne also said that she enjoyed reading several literary pieces while in the asylum. This includes The Battle of Hohenlinded, Bingen on the Rhine, The Seasons, Edinburgh after Flodden, and the Lady of the

“In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart,”, Anne says in lines 1928-1931. You’re probably mentally conceiving, how could anyone still believe that all people are civil? It’s quite simple, Anne was an exceptional puerile girl, thirteen to be precise, at the time she was driven into obnubilating. She left a place where she could run and play and make as much noise as possible, she just wanted to do that again. Another reason is, she was highly optimistic. When reading the play you learn quite expeditiously that Anne is genuinely ebullient. She was the type of gal who could never sit “buttoned up”, you could say.She was always endeavoring to find the effulgent sides to her situations. She was always trying

Anne also needs to convince the musicians of her commitment to the arts and her ability to lead such a prestigious organization and to do so, she will need to highlight her past accomplishments. Anne has had enormous success in directing operas, including serving as stage director for over 60 opera productions world wide, including the adored San Francisco Opera. In addition, she had stints as assistant director at the San Francisco Opera and the Canadian Opera. She also sought to increase the amount of productions during her time at the Boston Lyrics Opera instead of decreasing them to help retire the debt there. This should convince the musicians not only of Anne’s ability to lead them but also of her desire to build an elite arts

The Play of the Diary of Anne Frank starts out in the annex in the warehouse in Amsterdam, Holland where Anne Frank and seven others hid out during World War II. It opens with Otto Frank and Miep Gies standing in the annex alone in 1945. Mr. Frank had just come home from the concentration camps, being the one survivor from the annex. After conversing for awhile, Miep hands Mr. Frank Anne’s diary from the days of living in the annex. He starts to read the book, as it slowly flashes back to 1942 when it all began…

The start of the concert was promising because classical beats filled the air. When the time came for the musician to move on stage, I was surprised by the appraisal from the audience. If I had attended, I could have joined others in welcoming Fleming on stage. All the musicians seemed to be confident on the stage, and the crowd was shouting to the performing musicians. From the acclamation, I realized that she was a favorite opera artist for many people. Her music style was classic opera with a standard that left everybody in the concert startled by the beats and tunes. Fleming’s standard styles, the classic lyrics on stage were awesome. I learned that many of her fans liked and loved her

recordings, photographs, or even a review of the piece. In fact, the play was cancelled for

Anne and her family were forced into hiding after her sister, Margot, got called up: “Margot told me that the call-up was not for Daddy, but for her” (14). They immediately rushed to the attic in a building that contains her father’s office. Anne describes her “beautiful Secret Annex” (18) and depicts where everyone’s room and living area is. There are many things for the family to get used to, such as the chiming clock, “Daddy, Mummy, and Margot can’t get used to the sound of the Westeroren clock yet, which tells us the time every quarter of an hour. I can. I loved it from the start…it’s like a faithful friend.” Anne doesn’t feel right at home, but she does love the chime of the large clock.

Inside the closet, Valentine pounded on the door one final time before stopping and collapsing to the ground, giving up. He didn’t know what was going to happen to him, but he hoped he came out alive. Not because surviving another day was important to him, but because being there for his daughter was what mattered most. As Valentine pressed his face against the wood of the closet, he desperately wanted all this to just be a dream, and that he would wake up soon to the sound of his little princess crying for him. Anne Marie was probably crying right now, just like she always did whenever her papa wasn’t there. That was such a sad thought to Valentine, since right before he left that day, she had smiled at him for the very first

Some the people in the Annex complain about Anne because her personality can get to be a litte much as well as she can be bossy towards other people.

Anne had stated on page 290, lines 637-641, "You know the way I'm going to think of it here? I'm going to think of it as a boarding house. A very peculiar summer boarding house." In the middle of the play, they were all talking about what they would do first once they left the Annex, and Anne couldn't even think of what to do first. She had so many different things that she could, but she couldn't think of just one to do first. Anne wanted to go to the movies and ride her bike, or just take a nice long hot bath at home. So, she always had many different thoughts running through her mind. Also, Anne wanted to dance with Peter, because she believed that when they got out that they would all forget how to dance the right way. Peter had declined her request, so Anne began to dance with her sister Margot as a way to make sure they would forget how to

On October 6, 2016 the St. Joseph Catholic High School 11th grade class, along with one senior, attended an interactive play at the Clinton Presidential Library. The interactive play that we attended was called Conversations With Anne, and was brought to us by Steven Goldstein who is with the Anne Frank Center with Mutual Respect. Steven Goldstein acted as the narrator in the play, and a woman named, Alex, played Anne Frank. The play and the monologue from the narrator lasted about 2 hours long, and was a great performance and a great opportunity to attend.

She tried to make other people happy like during Hanukkah when she gave presents to everyone in the annex. She also made up with her mother and Peter so they get along better now. Anne also made her parents happy when they danced and she just spread the joy.

Anne is rude to her mom. In the text it states, she says when mummy yelled at

she cared because the way she would talk to everyone. Also when Anne gave everyone in the annex a gift even though she knew she wasn’t going to get anything.

Anne was an amazing girl, I truly believe that this is a theme in this play because Anne expressed it but never really said it, I could tell because of how Anne is. I read this play and learned a lot from it I felt like I was with Anne throughout the play I felt her pain and fears I knew her, I felt like I knew her. I got to know a teenage girl during the 1940’s who ended up dying but will always probably be a better person than me or anyone else at that matter. She said “I'm going to be a famous dancer or singer…or something remarkable” Well wasn’t
