    | Anne says this in frustration after Mrs. Van Daan yells at her for spilling milk on her coat. This expresses another Anne because it suggests that Anne sees herself changing, that she envisions a different self. I feel that Anne says this because to her, everybody in the Annex shows more favoritism to Margot then her, especially her mother. On the outside it seems Anne can’t always control her temper, as she strives to be more like Margot, who is patient and calm. On the inside, she is jealous of Margot, wanting to have more of an attitude like hers, and convey a better personality to others, contrary to what she’s done. Also Anne is younger, so it is understandable that she'd look up to an older sibling. I can relate to this because many times in our family, I feel as if my parents favor my older sibling over me. I have the same feelings as expressed in this quote, as it is hard to be more mature than somebody older. This quotation suggests change in Anne, as she herself wants to change, and be more socially civil rather than her normal self. Though it conveys negativity on Anne’s character, as she is losing her temper, it also shows maturity, as she is maturing. This quote shows that she is maturing because she now realizes her impact on others, and wants to be more like Margot, who is quite a role model to her. Some questions that occurred were: * Will Anne keep maturing as she is already? *…

In paragraph 4, she writes “Thank goodness summer vacation is almost here; one more week and our torment will be over.” This shows how she’s still focusing on the little things in her life that made her happy. Another diary entry, Anne describes her new residence- the Annex. Paragraph 19, “Thanks to Father and to a brush and a pot of glue, I was able to plaster the wall with pictures.” This shows how, despite being in the midst of hiding, she still looks to the bright side of…

    Throughout the novel Frankenstein, many people view the creation as the monster, which on the surface is what we are seeing by reading this text. However, as pointed out by writer Josh Traynelis, by reading into the text and digging out the small details provided in the reading, people begin to believe that maybe the creator is in fact the one that deserves to be called the monster. As pointed out in “Who’s the Real Monster?” by Traynelis, “Instead it was the extreme misconceptions of humans, resulting in extreme isolation of the creature, that caused him to become a monster,” where the isolation of the creature mainly draws back to the rejection of the creator and mankind (Traynelis, 1). The creator seemed to be disappointed with his creation,…

The monster is angry with his creator, humanity, and himself. Much like a child would, he is unsure of what to do with this anger. There is a reason that the “terrible two’s” are known to most anyone who has ever taken care of a child. At this point, most children can walk, talk, and use their senses. The creature is akin to children in this way, yet he is an extremely large being with seemingly superhuman qualities.…
