Act I: “But always remember this, Anneke. There are
no walls, there are no bolts, no locks that anyone
can put on your mind.” Explain what you think this
statement means. Do you agree with this statement?
Why or why not?
I think this statement means that Anne will not have anymore
"bolts" and "locks" which are the things that hold her or give
stress during her normal times. Going to school, doing
homework, getting spanked from her mother would be some
things that would have been considered as the bolts and locks
that might go on Anne's mind. This means that no one can
control or tell Anne to do certain things with physical force.
Anne has some freedom in the Annex by organizing her own
time and doing whatever is appropriate at times. I agree with
this statement strongly, but I also disagree because she is not
100% free but she is still in the hands of her father and mother
. Whenever she does some things wrong that affects the other
family, their parents scorn her, but not as much because they
are already living in a harsh condition in the annex. That is why
she doesn't have bolts or locks, but this doesn't mean she is
perfectly free.
