Anne Frank



She's as loud as a T-Rex's rawr
Anne's talkative person who gets compared to a duck
Quack, quack, quack
Can't shut her up

Anne can't stand that the weirdest guy
Is stuck with her
It could have been a better looking guy and talkative person but it had to be Peter
But that's all ok

She's getting butterflies in her tummy
Having her cheeks go strawberry red
Peter invites her to his room
And Anne doesn't refuse the offer

Mr.Van Daan can tell Anne the duck to be quite
But all she hears is
Quack, quack, quack
And does the same as he does it's as if he's mother duck

Mother always telling her she should be like her sister
Margot is quite and nothing like Anne
Why should she be shy and quite?
As if it's a good thing

Character Analysis


The character I chose to analysis is Anne Frank .Anne Frank was a thirteen girl who was Jewish. She’s involved in this play because she’s a Jew and her “family” goes into hiding. I chose her because she an outgoing person. She’s very talkative and she always has something to say. She get’s Peter and Mr. Van Daan annoyed because she talks a lot. She has a good relationship with everyone she just annoys people, but her relationship with her mom is not so good. Anne believes her mom and her have nothing in common.
She tells everyone her ideas even though they don’t ask her for her opinion. She’s a welling girl to show Peter how to dance. In her school they called her Mrs. Quack Quack for the same reason because she talked a lot. She was a popular girl at school because Peter says that he sow her at school with a group of friends. She also isn’t shy, she asked Peter why he never came over and said hello. I don’t think Anne liked being in the attic because she didn’t like that she was stuck in the attic with Peter.Anne and Peter argued a lot but they had a crush on each other secretly.
She also seems like an adventurous person and she needs to explore new things. Anne can feel limited in doing things because she can’t play around because there are workers in the bottom. One quote that I think is important was when she said “……Did I yell terribly loud? Do you think anyone outside could have heard?” I think this quote is important because it shows that she really does care if the get caught. It shows how much means to them if they get caught that she couldn’t even scream.

What is Drama???


Drama is when people might have problems with each other. They can spread rumors and you can consider that as drama because it has a conflict. Many people when they hear drama they think of people fighting in most cases it’s that. In literature drama is a certain type of genre. In drama it always has a certain way the stories have to have certain things. They have to have the things that the plot diagram has. The plot diagram has expository, conflict, climax, and the resolution. In the expository you’re supposed to introduce the characters and the main idea. For example if I was doing a story about my day at Disneyland I would state who I'm going with, why am going, and what time period to give more of an understanding of the story. The conflict is when the climax starts heating up or starts to begin. For example my conflict it would be that I was having so much fun that I started to forget what my parents had told me to take care of my cell phone. Conflict tells the problem in the story. The climax can also question people's thoughts or ideas on what's going to happen next. For example is that I couldn't find my phone, so I had lost it at Disneyland and my parents would get mad. The story ends either being bad or good. It's always the solution to the climax or problem of the story. For example my resolution it could be that I found my cell phone next to the tree I sat next to, to take pictures.
