Decent Essays
Our little Anneke shows up at Hanukah as the only person who's thought about giving to others. Mrs. Frank comments that there will be no gift-giving this year, but Anne's already made super-cute gifts for everyone out of little odds and ends and her own creativity: a crossword puzzle book for Margot (re-used of course), a paper ball and string for Mouschi, cigarettes for Mr. Van Daan, shampoo for Mrs. Van Daan, IOUs for Mrs. Frank, earplugs for Dussel, and a muffler (scarf) for Mr. Frank.
There's some discussion by Mr. Van Daan about getting rid of Peter's cat. Peter swears he'll leave if the cat has to leave, but Mrs. Van Daan quickly says no one is going

    In my speech, I will be describing the trials and triumphs of solitude, and the bittersweetness that come after. In both The Diary of Anne Frank and Island of the Blue Dolphins, there is a time of isolation with both times of optimism, and also pessimism. In both Island of the Blue Dolphins and The Diary of Anne Frank, the book starts off with an average girl of her time and place without anything to write a book about, but then their lives take a turn for the worst. In Island of the Blue Dolphins, Karana, the main character, loses her father in a unnecessary battle over otter pelts and what is a fair share.…

    If I was given the opportunity to design and carry out an Odyssey project today, I would design a rather unique project in the Artistic Creativity category. In compliance with my lifelong goal of avoiding the ordinary, I would like to design and complete a project that consists of transposing a traditional ballet into another style of dance while maintaining the plot of and similar choreography to the original ballet. This project would challenge everyone involved to interpret a well-known, classical ballet differently than one would usually interpret it, and it would also draw on my own creativity in the process of changing the ballet into another style of dance. I would choose to do this project because dance is an integral part of my life…

This dream occurred right after the real monster was created. I think that this was Victor’s self conscious speaking because somewhere inside of him he was afraid that the monster could cause some sort of damage to his family. Also, the fact that his girlfriend started rotting away after he kissed her is significant because it could represent his bad influence on her life. She went from beautiful to looking dead after one kiss with Victor.…
