Question One
I disagree with the statement “there are no walls, there are no bolts, no locks that anyone can put on your mind”, as the book 1984 shows so terrifyingly. George Orwell’s 1984 shows a world where people are indoctrinated in the language of Newspeak, where the citizens are simply unable to express concepts such as freedom—the limited selection of words limits the capability to do so.

Question Four
If the story was told from Miep’s perspective, we would contain a more full idea of the world that is spiraling into chaos as World War II rages on. Miep’s perspective would have less of the complex relationships between each person that is so often depicted in Anne’s view of the events, and some characters like Margot or Mr. Dussel would be practically be nonexistent. Miep’s view would have more strategy and management; the perspective would include the careful calculations needed to make sure that the occupants of the Annex are
