People should best respond to conflict by lying , hiding from conflict and writing about…

Day to day, people face harsh living conditions- children in Africa are dropping from starvation, Syrians seek refuge from a horrible war, and homeless people in cities need to provide for themselves and families. On a more serious note, there are even worse tales of survival and making it out alive from the past, especially in times of…

I will talk about the differences and similarities in each piece. In Anne’s diary, it starts out in Anne’s original house, and she receives her diary on her 13th birthday. In the play, it starts as the Franks are getting to the hiding place, and Anne receives her diary as a gift from her dad in a box. I think that the people who wrote the play…
