Anne Frank Conflict

Paragraph Three: Conflict

(a)The main conflict in The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank is that the Frank family, the Van Daan family and Mr. Dussel are hiding in the Secret Annex during the Holocaust and are constantly in fear of being caught and sent to a concentration camp.

He spread his reign like a cloud rolling over a hill, persistent and powerful. Another lyric that relates to the conflict is “But if you close your eyes, does it almost feel
