Which factor might have affected Anne's viewpoint
when she wrote, "Memories mean more to me than
dresses?"
"Hiding ... where would we hide? In the city? In the
country? In a house? In a shack? When, where, how..
These were questions I wasn't allowed to ask, but they
still kept running through my mind.
Margot and I started packing our most important
belongings into a schoolbag. The first thing I stuck in was
this diary, and then curlers, handkerchiefs, schoolbooks,
a comb and some old letters. Preoccupied by the thought
of going into hiding, I stuck the craziest things in the bag,
but I'm not sorry. Memories mean more to me than
dresses."

Read this excerpt from i never had it made. "it's all that ought to count," he replied. "but it isn't. maybe one of these days it will be all that counts. that is one of the reasons i've got you here, robinson. if you're a good enough man, we can make this a start in the right direction. but let me tell you, it's going to take an awful lot of courage." he was back to the crossroads question that made me start to get angry minutes earlier. he asked it slowly and with great care. "have you got the guts to play the game no matter what happens? " "i think i can play the game, mr. rickey," i said. the next few minutes were tough. branch rickey had to make absolutely sure that i knew what i would face. beanballs would be thrown at me. i would be called the kind of names which would hurt and infuriate any man. i would be physically attacked. could i take all of this and control my temper, remain steadfastly loyal to our ultimate aim? which is the central idea of this excerpt?
