Read this excerpt from Anne Frank Remembered.

It was just an ordinary Friday morning, August 4, 1944. First thing in the morning, I'd gone into the hiding place to get the shopping list. Lonely after the long night locked in together, my friends were hungry for a good visit. Anne, as usual, had many questions to ask and urged me to talk a little. I promised that I'd come back and sit and we could have a real talk in the afternoon when I returned with the groceries. But conversation would have to wait until then. I went back to the office and got started with my work.

How is Miep’s perspective different than Anne’s?

4Miep prefers the rigors of work to socializing.

1 answer

Miep’s perspective is primarily characterized by option 1: Miep has the freedoms and duties of outside life. Unlike Anne, who is confined to hiding and feels isolated from the outside world, Miep is able to move around freely and fulfill her responsibilities, including grocery shopping and attending to her work. This contrast highlights the different realities they experience during the war.

The other options do not accurately reflect the context of Miep's perspective as depicted in the excerpt. Miep likely has questions about the war, values her relationships, and balances work with social interactions, but her main distinction from Anne is her ability to engage with the world outside their hiding place.
