Q3.What idea or insight it reveals about human existence ? What is the author’s message to the planet?

I think the author was trying to convey to the readers that not only Anne but her whole family and friends and all the Jews went through so much during the holocaust. Anne and her family had to be in hiding with the Van Daans and also with Mr.Dussel even though they had small amount of food and space. They all didn’t want to be together but they had to because all the Jews were in danger. They sacrificed what they had to help each other. It shows the true meaning of care and love inside this play. They might have some ups and downs through out the story however deep inside they still care about each other not only because they live together but because they share the same religion and same fear of death. Mr. Frank didn’t have to say yes to Mr.Dussel coming in to hiding with them but he did. He did that because as a Jew he knew what Mr.Dussel was going through. The writer also made me realize how hard it would have been for the Jews in hiding. They were stuck in that stuffy closed up room for more then two years. However it was their choice to hide or not and they chose to go in hiding. Freedom was the only thing they were asking for which they still didn’t get at the end; some did but most didn’t. The idea that the writer is trying to say about life is that without freedom it’s not what you call life.
