Reid 5

In the book A Diary of a Young Girl (by Anne Frank), there are plenty of people stuffed into an incomodious space called the Secret Annexe. At once, Anne has to share a table with Dr. Dussel who refuses to grant her 2 hours in the evening for 2 days use of the table. Anne quickly consults her father, Otto Frank, who then tells her how to handle the problem. Anne asks again and is again declined by Dr. Dussel, but instead of taking this calmly Dr. Dussel decided to take a word in it and argue. Dr. Dussel claimed Anne was being selfish while he was only concerned on where he would work when she would obtain the desk from him. For this, Dr. Dussel was being a hypocrit and Anne was being polite, but because she was simply a "spoiled child" he would definately refuse her proposal. Thus, because he was an adult and doctor, he mattered much more than Anne. Anne only ended up winning this argument with her father talking to Dr. Dussel later with a fierce argument containing harangue. So, stuck-up adults think that they should put themselves infront of children just like Dr. Dussel did there.
