How do the events following Anne's nightmare reveal tensions between Anne and two other members of the household?
After Anne woke up from her nightmare she noticed that her mother was there trying to comfort her. Anne did not want her mother's comfort and in a rude manner she turned away her mother. Her mother, saddened at her daughter refusal to interact with her, left Anne alone. Her mother and Anne just don't get along so well. Anne says in her diary that her mother doesn't understand her. Especially with Anne's personality and all I can see why they don't understand and get along with each other. Anne is a rebellious, wild, independent child and her mother is a quiet, ordered lady. Also, Anne and Dussel have problems with each other. Anne is everything Dussel doesn't like. She says so in her diary. And on that day Dussel shows that he is really sick of that child and doesn't like her. He doesn't show patience and sympathy for her being afraid of the Green Police. I would understand why but he could have shown some kindness and understanding. I bet he would of if it were Margot with a nightmare. Anne, with her wild attitude has many little tensions with other people in the Secret Annex but she has alot of them with her mother and roomate, Dussel.

I remember feeling really bad for the mother in this scene when Anne rejects her love. I think that although all teenagers have issues and fights with their parents, in such an enclosed space it must seem much worse. I think it is really ironic that before Mr.Dussel said he got along with children and that they wouldn't have a problem and now they argue and he is sick of Anne.
