Make inefernces
Anne says the work is tedious and makes them dizzy. She says that it is the sort of work that people do in prisons.
We have a new pastime, namely, filling packages with powdered gravy. The gravy is one of Gies & Co.'s products. Mr. Kugler hasn't been able to find anyone else to fill the packages, and besides, it's cheaper if we do the job. It's the kind of work they do in prisons. It's incredibly boring and makes us dizzy and giggly.
The clues in the entry that help readers make inferences about why "Mr. Kugler hasn't been able to find anyone else to fill the packages" of powdered gravy is that it was cheaper if Anne Frank's family did it and he wanted to give them pastime because they didn't have any other activities to do. Mr. Kugler couldn't find anyone else to do the job because it was incredibly boring and "It’s the kind of work they do in prisons" which shows how Mr Kugler wasn't able to find another worker. Also, Anne Frank says it makes them "dizzy and giggly" and feeling that way isn't pleasant so it wouldn't make a good reason to work.
