4a. Foreshadowing

Why does Mr. Frank breakdown when he see the gloves? He breaks down because it reminds him of all the memories that he had with his family, the Van Daans, and maybe Dussel. He says that he has to move or get out because the place is too filled with memories. And later he picks up Anne's diary from Miep and he starts reading. He would be reading her diary because she isn't there which makes it so bad for him, his dead daughter. Through this breakdown and scene I am able to tell that many bad things happen to Mr. Franks's family and his comrades, and that it gives him all the bad memories. That Anne and everyone else will not survive. Mr. Franks sadness shows it.
