Anne Frank Drama Act 1 Scene 3

When Mr. Dussel joins the families in hiding, Mr. Van Daan’s main concern is…

• his allergy to cats         
• the food situation
• Where Dussel will sleep
•  that he is a stranger         

What about Mrs. Van Daan bothers Anne the most?     

• her concern over her fur coat
• her rambling of the past
• her flirting with Mr. Frank 
• her unkindness to Peter

What does Mrs. Van Daan mean when she says …”Mr. Frank, if this war lasts much longer, we’re going to be related…” p 383.

• She feels that the war is going to bring their families closer together.
• She wants the war to be over.
• Anne and Peter are getting along so well they will marry one another. 
• They will get to know each other so well they will feel like family.

Which piece of evidence best shows that Anne feels that everyone no one understands her?

• “Everything she does is right, and everything I do is wrong! I’m the goat around here!...You’re all against me!....And you worst of all!”
• "Margot! Margot! Margot! That’s all I hear from everyone...how wonderful Margot is…’Why aren’t you like Margot?’”
• “Mother, this is perfectly absurd.”
• “With all of the boys in the world...why I had to get locked up with one like you!...”

Why does Mr. Frank decide that Mr. Dussel should join them in hiding, in spite of the concerns of Mr. Van Daan and Mrs. Frank?

• Mr. Frank hopes that Mr. Dussell will pay him money when the war is over. 
• Mr. Frank is willing to make sacrifices in order to save another person.
• Mr. Frank is eager to find out what is happening outside the Annex.
• Mrs. Frank’s teeth have become bad, and he’s happy to have a dentist nearby.

What can the reader infer about from the following dialogue from Mrs. Frank?“...I mean the answering back. You must not answer back. They are our guests. We must always show the greatest courtesy to them. We’re all living under terrible tension…. That’s why we must control ourselves...You don’t hear Margot getting into arguments with them, do you? Watch Margot…”

• Mrs. Frank feels that they have given up a lot of freedom by having to live with the Van Daans.
• Mrs. Frank feels that Anne not argue with her sister. 
• Mrs. Frank feels that they must be careful with the Van Daans because they are very touchy. 
• Mrs. Frank feels that Margot is more mature and Anne should act like Margot.
