Tea Party Script

Who are you, you ask.  What straightforward answer could I give to that straightforward question?  I am Anne Frank, a Jew in hiding during the holocaust, in simple terms.  But, who I am is defined by a series of events, and their unfolding, which, ultimately, lead to me becoming a depressed 14-year-old, locked in an attic.  Each day, I listen for footsteps incase a robber finds our hide-out.  In this "Secret Annexe", I spend my days studying.  I have become accustomed to a system that dictates my every move, more or less.  Who I am is a prisoner in my own body.  Before, oh before...  What a life I had.  The flocks of boys following me home.  I had "friends", but they weren't true.  They were lies to hide my weaknesses.  Before the Germans came, I envied my sister, her beauty, and her knowledge.  Now, I keep quiet.  After first arriving in the Secret Annexe, I bickered quite a bit with everyone.  Most of all, with Mrs. Van Daan.  She bugs me; she flirts with Pin, Pappy!!  And, she is a Mrs.  I sleep in a room with Dussel, and he annoys me too.  Dussel fobs off all my questions with snide remarks.  Yes, I am said to do the same during dinner, but I have created a new policy where I keep my mouth shut.

I am the girl who loves the silence.
