Read the excerpt from The Diary of Anne Frank. (Peter appears in the doorway of his room, with a saucer in his hand. He is carrying his cat.) Peter. I . . . I . . . I thought I'd better get some water for Mouschi before . . . Mr. Frank. Of course. This piece of dialogue reveals that Peter is easily confused when speaking to others. deeply untrusting of other people. overly frightened of adults. somewhat nervous around other people.
