Narrative Poem

Me and her are like peanut butter and jelly

We are best friends better than Christina and Melly

We had our ups and downs

Every time we didn’t talk my happy face turned to a frown

You and I have been through a lot

It’s like going through a rope with lots of knots

11-29-10, the day I became your husby and you became my wifey

We tried to keep it low key but it turned out to be high key

We go to the mall all the time together

When we see an ugly girl we say, “eww look at her”

People say we fat and loud

But we both know it’s true but we also loud and crazy

We fight all the time

No matter what happens we will always be partners in crime

Were always together because we stick like gum

That when were eating we always say, “YUM”

It’s funny how you have the heart and I have the key

Like an apple on a tree

You’re forever printed in my heart

That it would hurt if we ever split apart

You named me thing one

Because im the opposite of a hunnybun

I named you vanilla ice cream

Because you’re so white and are able to scream

I don’t know what happened we just had a fight

That I would think about the times we spent day and night

Compared to you I’m very small

But yet I always wonder how you get so tall

After everything that happened

You were and still are a true friend

I love you and always will

I hope we stay together like a turtle and it’s shell

Anne Frank-Stage Adaption

It starts off in the year of 1945 but the only thing was that they were just looking at flashbacks. The only times that this Jewish family was allowed to go outside were at 6 p.m until Nazi soldiers left work. The Frank's family was smart because they made where they lived looked like an abandoned place. So how it officially starts is Anne is given her diary by her dad Mr.Frank. You also find out that Mr.Frank's friends Mr.Kraler and Miep are non-Jewish. Since Jewish were prohibited to learn, Miep would teach Anne and Peter how to learn. During the play Mr. and Mrs. VanDaan get in many arguments, and you can tell Mrs.Van Daan likes Mr.Frank because she kind of flirts with him. Than later a new Jewish man Mr.Dussel, who is a dentist and a friend of Mr.Frank, becomes Anne's new roommate. Even tho that Mr.Van Daan isn't the owner of the house, he disagrees that Dussel should stay because then the family will run short in space and food. So as time goes Anne and Dussel's relationship isnt good. Also the family is experiencing a thief because they are missing food! Dussel thinks it was either Carl or Peter. Also Peter and Anne begin to build a very close relationship and share a kiss! After, they found out Mr.Van Daan was the theif and Mrs.Frank turns furious and wants to kick the Van Daan's out. Luckily they weren't kicked out because Anne wanted Peter to stay so they stayed. At the end, the Gestapo's find the Frank's and Van Daan's because the thief that robbed them before snitched and said where they lived, and sent them to concentration camps. Mr.Frank was the only survivor of the family and Anne died of typhus. Mr.Frank published Anne's diary in 1947.
