This Quote Means...

I am reading The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank. I just read from pages 125-140. In these pages, Anne writes about what goes on in the Secret Annexe. It mostly is about how everything is getting worse and the fighting continues. Also, she writes about her dreams and how she is seeing her friend and her Grandma in them. Lastly, she writes bout how she starts to like Peter.
on page 87, it says, '"When you first came here we arranged that this room should be for both of us; if we were to divide it fairly, you would have the morning and I all afternoon! But I don't even ask that much, and I think that my tow afternoons are really perfectly reasonable."' This show that Anne is using a convincing tone. She tries to persuade. Dussel into letting her use the table in the room. Therefore, she tries to use a polite and convincing tone. I also think that she tries to show her logic to prove to Dussel that she is right.

  1. I think she is using a convincing tone, too. the quote really tells the reader that Anne Frank is trying to persuade Dussel. Who is Dussel?

  2. Dussel is another man who is hiding with them.
