  13. Theme Theplay you are about to read is based on a diary written by Anne Frank. She was a teenager who spent more than two years hiding from the Nazis.

  14. Theme When Anne’s diary was published, readers around the world were profoundly touched that, despite all she had been through, she still believed people were good at heart.

  15. Theme When the playwrights adapted Anne’s diary, they used her belief in the essential goodness of people as one of the work’s themes, or messages about life. As you read, notice how Anne’s thoughts and feelings, as well as the characters’ relationships with each other, work together to express this theme.

(Bill and Jen are sitting on sofa.) Jen: You’re kidding, right? Bill: No. I just got the call. And I’m taking you with me!
