Narrative Poem

I packed my bags
The sky was dark
There we drove
To the airport, a long ways away

We hoped on board
I don't remember much from the first plane ride
Yet I don't remember much from the second one either
All I know is.... the meal wasn't that good

Then we got off
And saw what we got ourselves into
Me and my dad looked at each other
Then we went on their car, into Mexico

When me, my dad, my cousins and my grandparents arrived at their house
We had a dinner of pizza and soda
Then we all went to sleep
We were going to go places the next day

Then we hoped in their car
And we went to the Mayan pyramids
We didn't do this in one sitting I mind you
We made multiple stops to get there

When we got there it was beautiful
The pyramids were so big
It was to bad we couldn't walk on them
Well I would have been tired anyway

After that our vacation was good
We went to the beach
Unfortunately there was recently a storm there
So there was some garbage there, not a lot but some

After that we got burger king
It was when I was little so I got the King Kong toy
I really enjoyed that vacation
Oh yeah, my sister was there and she got sunburned

Anne Frank-Stage Adaptation



In the beginning of the play we see Mr. Frank walk into a small room with Miep. Then Mr. Frank picks up a book from the floor and he has a flashback. Then, we cut to The franks and the Van Danns going to the small Annex. They carry light luggage as Mr. Frank explains the rules. He says they can’t use the washroom until 8:00 PM. They can’t move until 6:00 PM. Then, Peter shows that he has a cat called Mouschi. Later we meet Miep and her boyfriend introduce a new character called Dussel. He is not fond of Anne and Peter.
Later as we progress to a few months later as we see the group getting ready for supper. The next morning we see Anne talking in her sleep as she awakes Dussel. He is enraged with this because it is the early morning and there might be some people downstairs. He tells Mrs. Frank to calm her down. Later, the group hears some rustling downstairs. They think someone is robbing them. Mr. Frank tells them not to move so they won’t alert him. About, oh lets say, 3 seconds later, Peter fell and made a loud thud. It alerted the robber. Mr. Frank, Mr. Van Dann and Dussel go to make sure that the robber is gone. They know that he took the radio.
Later they find out that Mr. Van Dann has been sneaking food from the safe. Then Anne and Peter have some time to themselves as they finish the night. Finally, the green police have caught the bandit and were telling him where he got the radio. Just as the group learns about the landing at Normandy, the green Police find them and arrest them. In the final scene we see Mr. Frank finish reading the diary and exit the room.
