At the end of Act two scene one, Anne said in her diary, “The people from whom Miep got our ration books have been arrested. So we have had to cut down on our food.” (page 167) This illustrates the shortage of food and bad living conditions caused by the war. Another piece of evidence is shown when Anne states in her diary at the end of Act two scene three, “We’re all in much better spirits these days. There’s still excellent news of the invasion… Maybe I’ll be back in school by fall.” (page 181) The quote in Anne’s diary reveals information about the invasion going on at the time, which brought hope to many that the war would soon end. As previously mentioned, the diary is yet another way historical events are depicted in The Diary of Anne Frank.

I think a very serious mood is created by the details of this setting. Both Henderson and Swift are discussing a very serious matter about what was really done to win the war. There is also a very hopeful mood in the beginning of the story because it starts off by telling us that the war has been won and Multivac can now rest until needed again, the story tells us that there was no longer a threat, “if nothing else, there was the mere fact of isolation and silence. For the first time in a decade, technicians were not scurrying about the vitals of the giant computer, the soft lights did not wink out their erratic patterns, the flow of information in and out had halted.” Knowing this made me feel very relieved but also caused me to read on

Daphne goes through a metamorphosis through her memoir. As a child she acts the way she feels so she is only doing what is natural to her. Because there is violence in her house she acts violent and because she feels like a boy she dresses like a boy. She viewed her as tough and that doesn’t change. However her thoughts of being an under achiever change after her self esteem is restored, which doesn’t fully happen until her stay at the Wilson Center. The Wilson Center is where she has the best perceptions of herself; she feels independent, smart, fun, and friendly. Daphne had a very hard time understanding her thoughts and feelings until the Wilson Center. The patients are who gave Daphne strength, the positive environment let Daphne explore who she was and relax and have fun. The Wilson center represents the adolescence that she should have had. The Dr.’s still make her feel uncomfortable when the gender issue arrises but Daphne can cop with it better because she likes where she is. Meeting Valerie led her to discover her homosexual feelings. It wasn’t the initial meeting of Valerie but later in Daphne’s life she released her true feelings towards women which is the biggest change of all.

During the previous stage, the pack’s attitude towards St. Lucy’s had been curious and excited, and the wolf-girls engaged in all manner of shenanigans as they explored the school. As stated in the Stage 1 epigraph, “The initial period is one in which everything is new, exciting, and interesting for your students” (225). By Stage 2, however, they become aware of the harsh reality of their situation. This revelation is reflected through a dramatic change in the pack’s behaviour. Whereas the wolf-girls had once been romping through the halls of St. Lucy’s, “Overturning dresser drawers, pawing through the neat piles of the Stage 3 girls’ starched underwear, smashing lightbulbs with [their] bare fists” (225), they had begun to feel restless and homesick, unsettled by their new home and its unfamiliar culture.

The Diary of Anne Frank shows the changes in behavior and maturity for the main character, Anne, as she stays in the annex for two years.In Act I, Anne was more energetic and playful as a thirteen-year-old. Act I Scene 3 highlights Anne’s playful and clumsy behavior by talking about her pranks. On page 552, it states “Anne: Who cares if it’s dignified? I don’t want to be dignified. Mrs. Frank: [To Anne] You complain that I don’t treat you like a grownup. But when I do, you resent it” (Goodrich and Hackett 552). This shows that Anne is not ready to be treated like an adult. She dislikes when her mother expects her to be mature and she has a teenage mentality. She does not care that her behavior is not dignified and mature. She wants to have fun and frolic, much like what a child would want. Therefore, in the beginning of Act I, Anne acts childish and immature. However, in Scene 4 of Act II, it mentions how Anne has matured. “She is no longer a child, but a woman with courage to meet whatever lies ahead” (634). This quote shows that change that Anne has gone through as a

The document by Charles W. Hackett was written in 1942. The Declaration of Josephe, was written on December 19, 1681. The Declaration of Pedro Naranjo was written on December 19, 1681.

In “Dead Certain” Robert Draper describes many stages of George Bush’s life, both of his early life and of his presidency. Draper uses a writing style that sounds as though Draper himself was with the president every moment of everyday. Draper also uses a heavy amount of similes and metaphors to get his point across and to help explain what he is trying to say to his readers. Many quotes are also used by Draper to enforce his outlook and ideas. Robert Draper uses a different type of writing to portray what he thinks about George W. Bush as a president.

The ending scene in the court house has transformative impacts on the audience which enable the audience to rediscover of the issues they faced back to that time and also expect them to have new values and ideas about the

She becomes exceedingly obsessed with the country and finds her surroundings progressively intriguing. Before Vietnam, Mary Anne’s character represents how most Americans are affected by the war; they aren’t. Most have retained their innocence, and Mary Anne shows this by arriving dressed

As time passed many historical events that occurred outside the annex influenced the mood and relationships of the character’s

In this article presented by theglobeandmail.com, Nathan Vanderklippe explains the controversial decision if North Korean skater, Jong Kwang Bom, deliberately tried to trip Japan’s skater, Keita Watanabe. At the start of the short track skating race, Kwang Bom dug his front toe too far into the ice below him and started to fall. As he was falling, it looked as if he tried to sweep Watanabe’s left leg with his right arm. Kwang Bom’s right arm had hit Watanabe’s heel and had caused him to stumble until he caught himself. When he fell, it didn’t look intentional until the internet got hold of the footage and started the controversy. Watanabe openly said that he thought the tripping was unintentional and that he forgives Kwang Bom. Later in the olympics, Kwang Bom matched against Watanabe again and was disqualified for preventing him to pass by putting his arm on his chest as he took the inside track of a longer race.

First is the historical event, “ They get their call-up notice…. Come to the Jewish theater on such and such a day and hour…. Only what you can carry in a rucksack. If you refuse the call-up notice, then they come and drag you from your home and send you to a death camp.” (Hackett, 130) The direct quote is next, “They are gone.” She turns away in tears. Mrs. Frank motions to Margot to comfort her. Margot goes to Anne, putting her arms comfortingly around her.(Hackett,130). This event impacted the drama by showing Anne’s mood change. Before being told what was being happened to the Jew’s by Dussel she was somewhat happy. After she was upset as it shows in the dialogue. It also shows that The Jews were being taken and if the Franks were to be found they would be immediately sent to the death

Historical events can play an important role in a person's life.  In A Separate Peace, the whole atmosphere at the Devon School changed as World War II progressed.  The boys either eagerly awaited the draft, enlisted in the area of war they wanted, or did not want to go at all.  The students at the school created new activities for enjoyment since the customary past times could not be played due to a lack of materials.  When a friend "returns" from the war, the boys at Devon got a real sense of what the war was like.  The boys learned that going to war was not all fun and games like they had anticipated.  The influence World War II had on the characters in A

In the play, Anne, Margot, and Peter would do their homework and learn different languages. This shows that they held hope that someday they would be able to retum to school and have a regular life again The residents of the Annex -the van Daan's Frank's. and Mr. Dussel- would celebrate Hanukkah and birthdays. She would dance and sing songs. They tried to live life as they did before they went into hiding. Leyson, on the other hand, had no consistency in his life. He never forgot the fact that he was being treated cruelly for being Jewish. "We couldn't think two minutes ahead when all our energy was concentrated on surviving to the next day" (90). Since he only thought about surviving, he didn't have the time to try to make things seem normal. Each day he was greeted to the fact that he was a Jew, and because of his race, it was justified for the mistreatment and mass murder of Jewish

Thus, the apartment soon fills with an empty and sadness feeling. For instance, Agnes expresses her feeling when her friends leave the apartment in saying, “… but it isn’t like the world has gotten emptier just much smaller. It contracts, the empty places… collapse.” (Kushner 136). This quote seems as an encouragement by Agnes to herself even though she feels truly sad and lonely when everyone leave. In fact, it seems that even though the world doesn’t change, she feels a change inside herself – a feeling of emptiness. Moreover, Agnes once again expresses her loneliness and fear of getting caught and killed by the Nazis in saying, “I’m lonely. And years frightens me. I ought to do something to help but I’m simply not able. The arrests. Every day they execute…” (Kushner 145). This quote shows how Agnes feels jealous of Malek’s fear because at least Malek doesn’t live a boring life filled with loneliness like Agnes does. Not only that, it indicates that Agnes is also too scared to fight for a more exciting life by choosing to not helping and waiting for help
