Quotes
"'Dear Diary, since you and I are going to be great friends, I will start by telling you about myself. My name is Anne Frank. I am thirteen years old. I was born in Germany the twelfth of June, nineteen twenty-nine. As my family is Jewish, we emigrated to Holland when Hitler came to power.'"
-Mr. Frank reading Anne's Diary (Act 1 Scene 1)

"As she pulls off her star, the cloth underneath shows clearly the color and form of the star."
-Narrator (Act 1 Scene 2) symoblizes Anne is still a jew

"Never...? Not even at nighttime, when everyone is gone? Or on Sundays? Can't I go down to listen to the radio?"
-Anne (Act 1 Scene 2) Anne relizes what's happening is serious

"I have a nicer side, Father...a sweeter, nicer side. but I'm scared to show it. I'm afraid that people are going to laugh at me if I'm serious. So the mean Anne comes to the outside and the good Anne stays on the inside, and I keep on trying to switch them around and have the good Anne outside and the bad Anne inside and be what I'd like to be...and might be...if only...only..."
-Anne (Act 1 Scene 4) internal conflict between good and bad

"It'll pass, maybe not for hundreds of years, but some day...I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are really good at heart."
-Anne (Act 2 Scene 4) Theme of the Book: hope

"We hear the thud of gun butts on the door, trying to break it down. Anne stands, holding her school satchel, looking over at her father and mother with a soft, reassuring smile. She is no longer a child, but a woman with courage to meet whatever lies ahead."
-Narrator (Act 2 Scene 4) climax
