Remember, you have access to your textbook using the handy student links from Morton's homepage.

During your reading and answering of comprehension questions, please email me if you have any questions at all about the content of the story, vocabulary, etc. It is a little more difficult to be reading this independently than together as a class. If you struggle at all, please let me know. Here is your assignment for today -

Begin reading The Diary of Anne Frank, Scene 3 on page 292. Read to the bottom of page 297 and answer the following questions:

20. Lines 907–917: What does Anne mean when she responds to Mrs. Van Daan by saying, “Where would he be!” Which expression used by Mrs. Van Daan is hyperbole? (Remember, a hyperbole is an extreme exaggeration.) What does this expression reveal about Mrs. Van Daan?

21. Lines 976–993: What direct comments by the playwrights (dialogue) show Peter’s and Anne’s thoughts and feelings? What conclusions can you draw about Anne and Peter based on their actions, speech, and comments by the playwrights?
