This is an awkward connection to make, but I am going to connect the members of the Annex to homeless people. Their living conditions are somewhat better than a homeless person (obviously, because a homeless person would not having living quaraters). But as far as food and fun and social activity, they are both kind of on the same level. The food that people eat in the “Secret Annex” has mainly maneuvered into rotten tomatoes, lettuce, spinach, and things such as that. A homeless person might at least get a decent meal from a kind bystander once in a while, but not the people in the Annex. They long for good healthy and filling meals! The attitudes of the residents of the Secret Annex pretty much mimic the attitudes of a homeless. The “woe as me” and the “life might not get any better unless a miracle happens” mindsets are a common trend between these two parties. The one thing that Anne has that only some homeless people have is the desire to live. She admits to Kitty that even though her lifestyle is horrendous, she had still not given up hope and still has a strong passion for her own life. Some people who live without a home to sleep in have this same hope and desire. They believe that even though life might not be as good as it possibly could at the moment, things could get better and result in something much better than they even started it out. This just goes to show that attitude is everything!

In someways, homeless people have it better off, yet in other ways, those in the Annexe had it easier. In the Annexe, they didn't have to worry about finding food to eat or a place to rest. On the other hand, homeless people don't live every second of every day worrying about being captured and taken to terrible places where you will die.
