The Diary Of Anne Frank-Play

1. How does viewing this text through a child’s perspective change the way we experience it? Explain using an example from the text. Doesn't understand the world yet so their ideas aren't fully developed unlike adults. There opinions haven't been properly formed yet. Sympathy for them.
2. How would this text be different if it were told from the perspective of an adult? How would the audience’s experience be different? More stressful. They adults are more aware of how everything is rather than the kids. Their perspective is more hopeless and and they want to survive way more than the kids do.
3. Why did the filmmaker or author decide to tell this story from a child’s perspective? Because it's also important to see the perspective from a child's point of view rather than an adult. It's also something different and it shows just how kids see things as well and their reactions to the situations/problems happening around them.
4. How are children represented in the text? How are adults represented in the text? Children were shown as selfish, naive, annoying, talkative, loud, gullible and curious. Adults were shown as selfish, thieves, fighting, more serious, semi-educated.
5. Does imagination help the young hero to cope? How so? Provide an example. Yes because it's something different and it's a way for Anne to write to someone who isn't actually visible to the eye. An example of this would be every time she writes inside her diary.
6. Does this text connect in any other ways to the other texts you have read/viewed? How so? Provide evidence and explain. Yes the way that this play has all been written can link back to Jojo Rabbit. For example they were both shown from a child's perspective rather than an adults. They were pure, innocent and ignorant. A better example would be that Jojo and Anne were both Jewish and in the end were afraid of the Nazis.
