Literature Assignment (Gold Day):
Read the two diary entries on pp. 712-715 of our literature textbook and answer the following questions in a Google Doc. Label your document with your last name and the words "Diary Entries." Share your document with me by the end of our class period today. 1. What do you think Anne means when she writes, "paper is more patient than man" at the beginning of the first entry? 2. Why does Anne say she will use the name "Kitty" in her diary? In the play, Peter points out that Anne was well-known at school and often the center of attention. (See Act I: Scene 2, pp. 545-546.) How do Anne's own comments here about friends compare with those lines in the play? 3. Look back at the diary excerpts read aloud in the play by Mr. Frank and Anne's Voice in Act I: Scene 1, on p. 538. Compare and contrast those lines with what Anne actually wrote in her diary on June 20, 1942. How well do you think the playwrights used the actual diary here? Do you think they were faithful to the source material? Provide at least two pieces of evidence to support your opinion. 4. Do Anne's comments about Mr. Dussel surprise you? How are they similar to lines and events in the play? How are they different? Look back at pp. 566-572 (Act I: Scene 3) for evidence to support your ideas. 5. How would you describe Anne's tone (her attitude) toward her situation and the situation of those around her? Do these two entries sound like the Anne we meet in the play? Provide at least two pieces of evidence to support your opinion. Please feel free to email me during the class period if you have questions. Comments are closed.
