Some of the characters in the play The Diary of Anne Frank bring things from their past into the Secret Annex that have special significance to them. Select one of the two options below and write about why the item is important to the character. Be sure to support your answer with at least two details from the play. Your response should be about 150 words. The objects to pick from:

Mrs. Van Daan's fur coat
Anne's pictures of movie stars and Queen Wilhelmina

The character Mrs. Van Daan brings her fur coat with her when she is staying in the annex. The fur coat has sentimental value to her, because it connects her to her past. It symbolizes the freedom she once had, as well as her ability to possess valuable things. Her connection to the coat is emotional and materialistic. Mrs. Van Daan is maintaining her sense of dignity by having the coat as a symbol of her status, despite being forced to live in the annex. It is a refusal to admit she is no longer wealthy, and no longer has control.
