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 agree with this statement because it is saying that although someone can trap your body or torture your body they can never gain control of your mind. Your mind is always free because it is yours and you and only you can control your thoughts and emotions. No one else can make you think how they want you to think no matter how hard they try and what methods they use. I think that this applies especially to the Frank family because although the family is contained in a small space and do not have the freedom to live as they used to, everyone is still themselves, has the same personalities and they can still learn and exercise their minds.
