Question

please say some important questions from Anne Frank's diary.... please answer if you know the correct answer

Answer 1

DAIRY OF A YOUNG GIRL ...

Question 1 :
Comment on the title of the book: ‘The Diary of a Young Girl’.
Answer:
The Diary of a Young Girl’ is the record of Anne Frank’s experiences between June 1942 and August 1944, from her 13th birthday until her 15th birthday. Anne named the diary ‘Kitty’ and kept it for the two years during which she was in hiding because of the Nazi persecution of the Jews in Europe. In her diary, she recorded her feelings, emotions, thoughts as well as the events around her.
During the two years recorded in her diary, Anne dealt with the confinement and deprivation, as well as the complicated and difficult issues of growing up in the adverse circumstances of the Holocaust. Her diary describes the struggle to define herself within this climate of oppression. Anne’s diary ends without comment on 1 August 1944 as the Frank family is betrayed to the Nazis and arrested on 4 August 1944.
Therefore, the title of the book, ‘The Diary of a Young Girl’ is quite appropriate. In fact, Anne’s diary expresses the contents of the book and bears the testimony of a tribute to human kind’s brave struggle for survival as well. It also brings out horrors of the war.

Question 2
Describe Mr. van Daan and Mrs. van Daan’s attitude towards war
Answer:
Mr. van Daan predicts that the war will not end until the end of 1943. He had great insight into politics. However, he thinks that it’s a very long time, and yet it’s possible to hold out until then. But who can assure them that that war,which had caused nothing but pain and sorrow, will then be over? It means there was no guarantee that the war would be over by the end of 1943, or they would survive the war or their helpers might be fore d to go into hiding. This only caused tension and fear. He thought that the number of people hiding was relatively small in comparison to the general population. However, it was astonishing at how many good people in Holland were willing to take Jews and Christians, with or without money into their homes. There was also an unbelievable number of people with false identity papers. On the other hand, Mrs. van Daan wanted to get false IDs. So she proposed that they each had one made regardless of money. However, she was tired of continuous war, and wanted to get out of Holland and Hitler’s regime. She vacillated between converting to Christianity and remaining a Jew.

Question 3.
Give textual evidence to support the fact that the conversation in the hideout had become monotonous.
Answer:
Anne found the conversation in the hideout had become really monotonous. The subject of the conversation in the hideout was based on politics. In fact, Anne had little interest in the discussion of politics. The discussion was about different opinions on the politics of war. And it’s not surprising to hear it frequently discussed in times of war, but… arguing about politics is just plain stupid! Let them laugh, swear, make bets, grumble and do whatever they want as long as they stew in their own juice. But don’t let them argue, since that only makes things worse.’ Besides in the Annexe the endless debates over the invasion, air raids, speeches, etc. are accompanied by countless exlaimations such as “Eempossible, Um Gottes Willen (Oh, for God’s Sake)”, which was absolutely boring to Anne.
Anne finds the adults silly because they listen to the news every hour. “If the adults aren’t eating or sleeping, they are clustered around the radio talking about eating, sleeping politics. Whew! It’s getting to be a bore. Even people who come from outside indulge in political gossips. The funny thing is that this gossip ‘goes from early morning, to late at night’, and ‘they never get tired of it’.

Question 4.
Mr Albert Dussel was the eighth person who joined the Annexe group. Give a character sketch of Mr. Dussel.
Answer:
Mr. Albert Dussel was a dentist. He was the eighth person who joined the Annexe group. He shared a room with Anne when he came in, he promised to share his food and be accommodating. However, as days progressed, Anne had to actually fight him to get custody of the table in their room even twice a week. He hid his food in the cupboard, was petty and officious. He believed no one knew how to do better than him—from peeling potatoes to rearing children.
Dr. Dussel lectured Anne and instigated misunderstanding between‘her and her mother. He tried the same tactics with Margot and Mrs. Frank but failed miserably. In the end, Mrs. Frank saw through his sweet talk and told him, in no uncertain terms, that he had often been a source of annoyance to them. On the whole, Dussel ne er liked to be contradicted and was very egotistical and so he was a very unlikeable character.
