Read the excerpt from The Diary of Anne Frank. Anne (Pulling out a pasteboard-bound book). A diary! (She throws her arms around her father.) I've never had a diary. And I've always longed for one. (She looks around the room.) Pencil, pencil, pencil, pencil. (She starts down the stairs.) I'm going down to the office to get a pencil. Mr. Frank. Anne! No! (He goes after her, catching her by the arm and pulling her back.) Anne (Startled). But there's no one in the building now. Mr. Frank. It doesn't matter. I don't want you ever to go beyond that door. Anne (Sobered). Never . . . ? Not even at nighttime, when everyone is gone? Or on Sundays? Can't I go down to listen to the radio? What does this piece of dialogue reveal about how Anne views her family's situation?
