I think this statement that Mr. Frank said “But always remember this, Anneke. There are no walls; there are no bolts, no locks that anyone can put oh your mind” meant that nothing can keep her from thinking whatever she wants. By going in to hiding she can’t move the way she wants to and basically she’s locked up by the walls, bolts and locks. However even though she is, her mind is the only part of her that’s free. She might not have the freedom she wants right now but her mind does. And nothing/no one can control that except her self. I think he also meant that it doesn’t matter where or what kind of situation you are in, in order for your mind to be free. The fact that Anne is in hiding can’t affect how her mind thinks; the fact that Anne locks up her mind is what affects it all.
I do agree with Mr. Frank. Anne is in the situation where she is not allowed to move at a certain time of day, so physically she is not “free.” However mentally she is. Her way of thinking and her thoughts are something that she makes. Even though someone might tell you to “don’t do what you want, do this” “think like this …” deep inside you are the one who makes the choices. You might follow what the other person had told you to do or don’t do but you re the controller of your mind, you have the first priority.

I think that you are right in that Mr.Frank means that although they aren't free physically they are still free in their minds and that their minds can never be contained. I think that we are all the controllers of our own minds even if we follow what others say on the outside we are not truly controlled. Unless we are hypnotized....... hehehe I'm just kidding.
