Scene 1- Mr. Frank came to say goodbye to Miep. Miep was surprised and told Mr. Frank that he couldn't leave because his home and business were all here in Amsterdam. Mr. Frank explained to Miep that he had to many memories there in Amsterdam. Miep then found some papers that belonged to Mr.Frank and told him. Mr.Frank told her to burn them. Miep then found a diary and asked him is she should burn that too. Mr.Frank goes and grabs the diary, he opens it and starts reading it. He realizes that its his daughters Anne's diary. Her first entry was on July 6, 1942 on a Monday. She started out with introducing herself on the diary, she was 13 years old, was born on June 12, 1929 in Germany. Her Jewish family and her emigrated to Holland when Hitler was ruling. She explained how everything started getting worse for the Jew's. How her father lost his job and how they needed to wear a yellow star patched to their clothing so they could be identified. Anne talked about how her mother came and woke her at 5am and they all had to get dressed. They had to put on as many clothes on because they were going into hiding and they didn't want to Carrie suite cases or they were going to look suspicious.Its after the war. Mr. Frank and Miep are in the present in the place where they were hiding while the war was going on back in the day. 

There involved because they were also hiding with the Frank family and the Van Daan family.



Scene 2- Mrs.Van Daan is waiting for the Frank family to come. She is getting really anxious and nervous because they were suppose to meet them there at seven o'clock and the still haven't arrived. Mr. Van Daan tried calming her down. A few minutes later they hear someone coming and it was the Franks family. They all came in and introduced each other. The immediately go to the attic and explore their new home. Then Miep tells them that she needs to go and get some ration books. These ration books were books that had stamps that were given to you to make sure that there was even distribution on scarce items, more importantly in the warm time of the season. They then get explained that they cant make any noise at all during from eight in the morning till six in the evening only if it was necessary. They couldn't make any noises or movement because they lived in the Attic of building and downstairs if the workers heard them oh my they should expect the worse. So they had specific rules to follow everyday. Then peter and Anne try to get to know each other. They start talking about school and about Peters cat. After there conversation Peter gets a knife and starts taking off his star. Anne then does it too and takes her star off Peter burns it but for some reason Anne cant do it. A few hours pass and Anne starts to write in her diary how much she misses the fresh air, to play around outside. She also talks about her fears at night on how every little noise she hears she think that the Green Police (Nazi Police, they wore green uniforms).

They went back in time when the war was happening and Hitler was in ruling. They were all involved in the story because they all went into hiding because they didn't want to get caught by the Nazi's.




Scene 3- Two months later have passed. They are all sitting quietly and then Mr.Frank tells them its safe to move around and make noise. They are all relieved and they all start doing their own thing. Anne goes and plays around with Peter like always. She loves messing with him. They were getting supper ready and Mrs.Van Daan was knitting her coat and Anne asks to try it on and she did. After that Mr. Van Daan and Anne started to argue because Anne kept talking back to him. Later that night they heard a know and they thought that it was Miep but when the opened it was Mr.Kraler a good Friend of Mr. Frank. Mr.Kraller asked them if the could do him a favor and take in Dussel for a few days and Mr.Frank gladly said yes. From that day on the had a new guest. That night they explained to them their schedule and how things worked out through out the day.

They are all involved because they all live together and they see each other everyday. They are all in the attic hiding from the Nazi and this scene basically was based on how they lived their life everyday up stairs in the attic being silent for hours and then having the liberty to move around and talk.




Scene 4- Anne wakes up in the middle of the night. She is screaming like if somebody was killing her. Everyone wakes up and goes See's what going on with her. It turns out she was having a nightmare. Her mother goes and try is to comfort her but she regrets her and asks for her father. Mrs. Frank goes and tells Mr.Frank that Anne wants to talk to him instead of her. Mrs. Frank was really hurt because of this. Mr. Frank goes in a talks with Anne. Anne hugs Mr. Frank and tells him about her nightmare. Her nightmare was that the green police came and found them and dragged her out just like the same way they did with her best friend Jopie. Mr. Frank gave Anne a pill so she could calm down. Anne took it and after Mr.Frank told Anne how much he was hurting her mother. Anne told him that she only loved him and not his mother. She didn't really feel a connection between them. Anne then falls asleep. In her diary it talked about how much she misses school, to laugh, to ride her bike and many more things. she just wants to be a kid again without any of this happening to them.

This involves them because they all live together and they are all there trying to help her calm down and support her.
