The Diary of Anne Frank is composed of journal entries written by Anne Frank. Pretend you are a member of the annex. Write a journal entry that is fitting to this point of the story. Your journal entry should be at least one paragraph in length.
Dear Diary, The annex is starting to become a torture zone. All these old people telling me what to do when there is nothing I need to do.They piss me off so much, sometimes I just want the Nazis to take me away. And Peter won't play with me, so I'm all alone in the most boring place on earth.
Dear Diary, Today i was moved to live with the Franks and Van Daans in the secret Annex in an attempt to escape the Nazi. They seem like very nice people and will be good company during the time i spend in the Annex. Food seems to be quite low but what do you expect when you are living with seven other people. I am quite worried about the cat that belongs to Peter, i am quite allergic to cats. I hope that i am not in the Annex to long as i might lose my mind, i believe that it has already started. We have no room here and I want to get out. This diary is the only person i can really talk to and hope to be telling you all about my time here. These people are nice but I don't think that i will be telling them everything, or tell them that i am really a Nezi spy.
We have been in the annex for a while now, at least it seems. Space is tight, especially now that Mr. Dussell has moved in. However, he is a dentist, so he may be able to help us care for our teeth. It is very hard not moving around or running during the day, since we can't make noise when the workers are in the building below us. Before I went into hiding, I was used to moving a lot. Lastly, food is very short. We don't eat much each day, only enough to keep us in good health. We have to ration it out even more now that we have Mr Dussell. He is a nice man, though, and I completely understand his situation. I enjoy his presence and am glad he is staying with us.
Dear Diary, Situations, conditions, environment, and supplies are getting worse. There’s a limited time for play, for talk, for hanging out, and for w.c. We also allowed another man, Mr. Dussel, to join in hiding with us. Now, the using of three ration books for seven people; became three ration books for eight people. Everyone has their own attitude, manner, and the way they communicate and work things out with one another. Mrs. Van Dann, is a nice lady but always flirts with Mr. Frank and is too full of herself. Mr, Van Dann, is really rude and doesn’t care about what comes out of his mouth. He loves to smoke and isn’t very nice to people. Anne Frank, is a little girl that is so curious and wants to know everything. She isn’t afraid to ask, and doesn’t seem to be noticing that she is being annoying. Peter Van Dann and Margot Frank, takes things too seriously and doesn’t communicate with people much. Peter hangs out with his cat more than anyone, and Margot is too focused in her school works. The newcomer, Mr. Dussel, is a man in his fifties. He is a loner before he came into hiding. He doesn’t communicate to people as much and stays in his room.
3/4/14 Dear diary, We have added a new member to the party. Although it sounds nice its really not. It was hard to eat with 7 people and adding another one only makes it worse. The only good part is he is able to tell us what is going on in the outside world. Although Mr. Kraler has tried to give us good news we all know the truth. Now Mr. Dussel has told us the truth. Life is only becoming harder for the jews. More and more jews keep disappearing, lost of jobs and limited on their rights. It seems like a lifetime since I was with my friends in school and playing Now that I know the truth I am starting to doubt that we will be getting out any time soon. I thought it would almost be like a vacation ,but has turned into a horror fest. Everyone in the annex is getting on each others nerves. Things are being said and feelings are being hurt. Although it seems like we are never getting out, I still hold on to a little sliver of hope.
March 4 2014, Today was a hard day in the annex. Some people were working later then 6. So we had to be quiet for a longer time then usual. Peter and his cat Mouschi were being very annoying. That will get us caught I swear! Anne and Mr Van Daan got into a heated confrontation today. It was actually kind of funny. However, Anne is kind of clumsy. Today was very interesting but very boring at the same time. If that makes sense.

Dear Diary, I feel that everyone resents me. Mr Vaan Dan always seems to be annoyed with me, his wife still has a grudge against me for spilling milk on her fur coat, Peter doesn't bother talking to me, Margot keeps her distance, my parents get aggravated with me. Even the cat is always hiding, probably because of me. Mr. Dussel claims to be good with kids, but so far, I haven't seen any qualities in him that would prove that.
I just want to get out of this stupid house. I haven't been outside since July and I haven't even had a breath of fresh air. I forget what it feels like to walk in the grass when the sun's out.
Dear Diary, I think everyone, at this point, is pretty annoying. Anne is a very good friend and we get along, but everyone else is getting on my nerves. Not really Mrs. Frank or Peter, though. Peter's father is, I guess I could say, selfish. Peter's mother is just a bit mean at times. I think I like Peter even if he can be rude at some times. He is a good friend. Anne is talkative but I like her. I feel like I can tell her anything because we have a lot of the same thoughts. I feel like Mrs. Frank is my mother because she is always taking good care of me like I am her daughter. Mr. Frank is like a father to me because he talks to me like he talks to Anne sometimes. This whole hiding thing scares me, but I feel safe when I'm with everyone. I hope everything keeps going as smoothly as it is now and we don't get into any kind of trouble. Your Friend, Preksha
Dear Diary, It has been a week in the annex, and life is already difficult. In the secret annex with me are my parents and my brother. Due to the limited space, my brother and I have been sharing a bedroom. It has been cramped and uncomfortable, but I know it is keeping me safe by staying in hiding. We have no pets with us. The annex consists of 4 small rooms. There are 2 bedrooms, a tiny bathroom with barely any room to move, and a room with things like couches, chairs, tables, and a cooktop where my family spends most of its time. There is limited stuff to do in the annex. We can only move about for certain periods of time, so most of the day is spent sitting quietly, reading, writing, and studying. When we can move, I like to help cook meals. Our meals are small and plain. We only have what food we brought with us, which is enough for each of us to have food for a couple of months. Most of our meals are the same, usually soup or potatoes with bread. We can't eat a lot of things like fresh fruit and meat because it would spoil in the annex. When we came into the annex, I brought a couple of things from home. I brought some of my favorite books, which include 13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher, the Pretty Little Liars series by Sara Shepard, and Looking for Alaska by John Green to keep me busy. I also have with me photos and memorabilia from home. The annex is not heated, so I wear a lot of layers to stay warm. I am prepared for life to become much harder in here.........
Dear Journal, It's crowded here in the annex and my urge to move overwhelms me. It seems like time moves so slowly just to torture. I wish that I had a friend with me. All my brothers do is annoy and torture me. Even though times are hard though the news outside makes it all with it. My whole neighborhood was invaded, but we were not found. It was a gut wrenching experience. Mrs. Barley is telling me the most wonderful stories though! They even sometimes keep my brothers quiet! Tonight we are having a meal I have not had in a while, pizza, I am so excited!Yo you never answer.
Dear Kitty, I know realize why Anne loves to write in her diary-it helps to release your feelings that you have to hold in in this confined place. Miep has still not come to meet us, but thankfully Mr. Kraler brings us the outside news as well as food. A new edition has been made into our "family". His name is Mr. Dussel and he is a dentist. Mr. and Mrs. Van Dan were very expressive in not wanting Mr. Dussel to reside with them. Especially Mr. Van Dan who only thought about the lack of food. Anne has to accommodate Mr. Dussel in her room. Anne has managed to anger Mr. Dussel once again. Mr. Dussel once told me that his patients often brought their children with them since Mr. Dussel got along with children so well. But I don't think Mr. Dussel was prepared for Anne Frank. Let us hope that tomorrow Anne does not anger anyone.
Dear Journal, These last couple of days in the annex was interesting. Anne spilled milk over a very expensive and sentimental coat, a man named Mr. Dussel has joined us in hiding, and Mr. Frank found out that his decoy address worked that he left at his house to lead the Nazi's in another direction. i Have never lived with so many people in such a close space before now, and I am already not liking it. There is no space for anyone to do anything and we really can't do anything for most of the day. I hate what has happened to my home country. I hate who is ruling. I hate what they are doing to innocent families. I hate it. Everything. But talking about that is infuriating me, so i will move on. Everyone I am living with is currently not really bothering me right now. Except Anne. I'm not exactly sure about Anne. She is younger than me, I know, but.... I am not entirely sure about my feelings for her.
Dear journal, We’ve been in the annex for about 6 months now. Mr. Kraler came up and asked Mr. Frank if Mr. Dussel could join us for a little while. He just joined us today and was shown his room and told the schedule after dinner. Mr. Vann Dann Wasn’t happy about this at all. He complained about things like “we barely have enough food for seven, how can we feed eight,” and “theres not enough room in here for us how can we fit another.”
Dear Diary, We have just gotten a new member in the secret annex. His name is Dussel and he's a dentist. That is good since dental hygiene is very important. The only thing wrong is Mr. Van Daan. He continuously talks about how we don't have enough to eat already without another member coming in. He must have forgotten that they are in the same situation. Peter must be so embarrassed of him. Between his crazy mom and selfish dad he must have his hands full.
Today in the annex Anne was being even more annoying than usual. She was just such a destruction and she got on everyones nerves. First she got into a big argument with Mr. Van Dann and was being extremely rude. Secondly she was being a clutz and spilled milk on Mrs.Van Dann’s coat that her father gave to her.She also was being extremely disrespectful to her sister and her parents. For example she was claiming that they liked Margot better than her and was overall just being disrespectful. As a conclusion today in the annex Anne was getting on everyone's nerves.
Mrs. Van Daan continues to flirt with father. She is beginning to get on my last nerve as I am getting on hers. She always complains about everything and spends more time with father than she does with her own husband. Today Peter and I were annoying each other, as usual, and Mrs. Van Daan began making her usual comments about “Pete loves Anne, you’re going to get married.” I just couldn’t take her or her son anymore so I ran into my room, even though it was Dussel’s time to be in the room. I then proceeded to write this. I will write more later. ~Anne
Dear Journal, Today is March 5. These past couple of months have been very, very stressful. I guess I've kind of gotten used to being close to and around my new family that it doesn't bother me that much anymore, but I think it would be nice to get some fresh air and to get away from this "new family". I find it unfair that Mr. Drussel has moved in and we haven't even gotten another Ration Book! Besides that, I think all is well... "Peter be careful up there," I called out to him, "Watch out!". Oh no!! Peter just lost his balance and fell off the chair the dogs have started barking and someone ran off. I hope it's not the Green Police... I hope we survive. Oh Dear God! Please help us!
Dear Diary, Today marked another stuck in this place. I am grateful that if I had to get stuck somewhere it is here. I know many people who have no plumbing or water so even though it's cramped and crowded...it could be much worse. We are running a little low on food but I'm sure we'll be ok. I just wish we could get out and be away from each other for a bit. But again...I know I should appreciate what I have. Sincerely, Melanie
