The door downstairs slammed. Feet were heard coming up the stairs. The cladder of people shuffling to get into the annex, was clear. We had been found. We have been hiding in our annex for two years. We had two families, us, the Franks, and the van Daans. Life is hard in hiding, but it is about to get a lot worse. The Nazi police yelled at us to get only a small bag of clothes, and anything else was to be considered as a threat. We were pushed down the stairs, and I heard a gunshot from upstairs…

After this major change, another change took place- an admission fee. Otto Frank hated the idea of people paying, however the Anne Frank Foundation insisted that it must be done. They started at one guilder (the equivalent of one U.S. dollar) (Anne Frank House, n.d.). Another major modification came with the idea that the secret annex should be restored to be as close to the original as possible, using memories of Miep and Otto, and of course Anne’s diary. The most memorable piece of this…

Wright Brothers Term Paper Throughout the history of aviation, there have been many different pioneers that have contributed in some way to our present day knowledge of aviation. The two people that I think contributed the most to aviation are the Wright brothers. They were able to be the first successful people to create a controlled flight of a power driven airplane.

The play and the movie were different and alike in many ways, but after analyzing both, the movie is much more preferred. The story of Anne Frank. (Based on The Diary of Anne…
