Blog #2 - Annexed
So far in the book, Peter is getting a realization of what life is going to be like stuck in the Annex. In the beginning of the story, Peter couldn’t stand Anne at all, but slowly he’s coming to realize that Anne, isn’t all that bad. They even dressed up and did a skit for their families to liven up their moods. Peter no longer thinks of Anne, as a clumsy know it all, 13 year old girl like he did when they first met, but more or less a friend. Even though I know how this is going to end, I think mostly anyone can infer that Peter and Anne will become even closer than they are now. Also, you can infer that them and their families are eventually going to get caught and sent to a concentration camp. Although no one mentions or talks about how they will be caught, they never talk about having a bright future and how excited they will be when they get out of the Annex. Even though they don’t talk about it much, you can infer that they are always thinking about it in the back of their minds. I think they are trying to pretend that it isn’t going to happen until the moment comes. Even though I think they know they are going to get caught, do they really? Do they ever think of their future beyond the walls of the Annex? Happy or dreadful?

MIAAA! Good job! There were a couple of grammatical errors. For example: "In the beginning of the story, Peter couldn’t stand Anne at all, but slowly he’s coming to realize that Anne, isn’t all that bad." There should be no comma between "Anne" and "isn't". But other than that and the other minor errors, I really enjoyed reading this!
ReplyDeleteVery nice, Mia. I like the way you use what you already know about the book and expand to make inferences and notice foreshadowing. I hope you are enjoying this book.
ReplyDelete4.5/5 points. Be careful to use the appropriate pronouns in your writing.In the sentence," Also, you can infer that them and their families are eventually going to get caught and sent to a concentration camp," the word "them" should be "they".It might help to read it aloud, as that often helps us identify when sentences are clumsy or incorrect.
