We read the first half of Act 1, Scene 2 today. The basic situation was set up in Scene 1. The rising action is starting in Scene 2. We have all sorts of conflicts in The Secret Annex by two months into the hiding. Anne and Peter, Anne and Mrs. Frank, Anne and Mr. Van Daan, Anne and Mrs. Van Daan, Anne and Margot, Mr. and Mrs. Van Daan, Mr. Van Daan and Peter. Mr. Frank is really the only one who hasn't been involved in any conflicts at this point. We'll see how long that lasts.
