Answer:
Sample response:
It is important to have someone you can share your feelings with. This is a theme of the play, because Anne seems to enjoy her conversations with Peter. She does not get along with the adults as well. Anne says it helps to "let off steam" with someone else, and Peter says she can let off steam with him anytime. When Anne says, "Do you mean it?" she acts as though she will take him up on the offer.
