Drama:Anne Frank: 4C.) Dramatic Irony: What do we know as we read Anne's diary that Anne does not know? How does the dramatic irony make you feel?

When we are reading the diary, we know that from the beginning Anne dies, while Anne still has hope left in her after she finds out what really is going on outside. We also know that Anne has so much hope that she will survive through the hardships and be able to tell her story. We also know the true horrors of what is happening to the outside world, beyond the Secret Annex. Since we know the truth about the outside world and about the fate of Anne and her family, I feel like that a person like Anne is like losing someone who is important and dear to many. I felt angered that such people like Anne were just killed without a second thought. It's like saying they are civilized but in reality they act worse than barbarians. I also felt sad that such a bright girl had to die because of the mass killing.
