Some of the characters in the play The Diary of Anne Frank bring things from their past into the Secret Annex that have special significance to them. Select one of the two options below and write about why the item is important to the character. Be sure to support your answer with at least two details from the play. The objects to pick from:
Mrs. Van Daan's fur coat
Anne's pictures of movie stars and Queen Wilhelmina

Response should be about 150 words.

The character Mrs. Van Daan brings her fur coat with her when she is staying in the annex. The fur coat has sentimental value to her, because it connects her to her past. It symbolizes the freedom she once had, as well as her ability to possess valuable things. Her connection to the coat is emotional and materialistic. Mrs. Van Daan is maintaining her sense of dignity by having the coat as a symbol of her status, despite being forced to live in the annex. It is a refusal to admit she is no longer wealthy, and no longer has control.

Explanation:

I answered your other identical question.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
