5a. "But always remember this, Anneke. There are no walls, there are no bolts, no locks that anyone can put on your mind." Explain what you think this statment means. Do you agree with this statement? Why or why not?
This statement is kind of complecated, but it is also a meanginful one. I think this statement is saying that even though someone hurts and threaten you, you will always be strong enough to hold what you have in your head. For example, if you get caught and go to the concentration camp and they ask you who helped, usually kids or teenagers say the real man, which is Mr. Kraler and Miep. This statement tells how Anne used to be loud and tell everyone what she knew and not quiet like Margot. In this period, there is Holocaust, and Hitler and the Nazis are trying to insert or brain-wash people to think that Jews are wrong and what Nazi does is right. It is same as how Kim Il Song did to his people. He told everyone and brain-washed his citizens that he is the god and they have to believe in him. In North Koreans situation it means that you have to go against Kim and not believe that and don't let Kim controll their mind. I believe that being a prisoner is a really bad thing so we try to get out by telling something secret and i think this statement will help Anne to not do that and be strong. It was kind of meaningful because when someone says something about you , you just can't let them say that you are bad or something mean. You should lock your brain and think what you think you are which is type of having a positive self-esteem.
