First off Anne comes into this situation with a positive attitude. Anne Frank sees the good in almost anything and anyone. Almost evryone in the atic was botherd by Anne. Anne taught us that even when people are annoyed at you you dont have be annoyed back. Be positive and happy. Secondly, Anne Frank is big in forgivness. “Despite everything. I beleve that people are good at heart.” (Anne Frank) This quote is very inspiering because after all of the things Anne has been through, she still finds the love in her heart
In times of war, history shows how people from across cultures respond to conflict. In World War ll, some people responded to conflict by mass genocide, hate, fear, and by losing faith. Many people saw each other different, showing that it’s right to be cruel to others just by their religion. This mistreatment lead to damage of people 's thoughts, emotions, and the way of seeing things. In the text The Boy In The Striped Pajamas shows how people that you should respond to conflict with violence right away, but that is not the best way to respond to conflict. However, in the text Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl shows how she has inspired many people with her bravery and her Jewish life, hiding from the Nazis in Amsterdam. As this text shows, positive attitude and having hope is the best way to respond to conflict.
At first, the holocaust progressed slowly, but soon caused the Franks and a few others to go into hiding. Though it may seem that they would be much safer in the annex, there life had completely changed. Everything and anything could go wrong and get them caught. Anne’s mood changes when she realises this. This happens with “Anne. [Pulling out a pasteboard-bound book] A diary! [She throws her arms around her father.] I’ve never had a diary. And I’ve always longed for one. [She looks around the room.] Pencil, pencil, pencil, pencil. [She starts down the stairs] I’m going down to the office to get a pencil. Mr. Frank. Anne! No! [He goes after her, catching her by the arm and pulling her back.] Anne. [Startled] But there’s no one in the building now. Mr. Frank. It doesn’t matter. I don’t want you ever to go beyond that door.”(Hackett, 112) This quote shows how Anne goes from excited about getting a journal, to scared because her dad explains all the limitations of their stay in the annex. Anne’s mood changes may times
Throughout World War II Anne Frank was kept hidden away in a 500 square foot building they came to call the Secret Annexe. Anne Frank, her family, and the Van Daans endured difficult times of hunger, thirst, and lack of privacy cornered by walls for over two years. Anne confided her observations and feelings of the hard times within her diary she named Kitty. By writing in her diary both before and after the war, one could visibly notice how Anne went into the Annexe as a juvenile and came out as a young adult. The grueling experience she was forced to undergo changed Anne’s personality from a energetic and silly schoolgirl to an insightful and sophisticated adolescent.
“In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.” Anne grew up in one of the most harrowing times in history. Anne Frank was an inspiring human being. Anne has delivered multiple quotes, these quotes could be titled as brave, whimsical, or indifferent. Nevertheless, by far these are some of the most inspiring words that I have ever heard. In this essay, I will going to explain to you how Anne lived out her words.
Anne was a very upspirted girl and was always positive. Anne always would try to spread positivity by being so nice and kindhearted. In the Anne Frank The Diary play by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, Anne gives everyone gifts for Hanukkah when they are in hiding, she made the gifts by herself. The reason she does this is, she believes that it is a Hanukkah tradition to have gifts, also she does this to try to make people feel happier and not sad and angry. Anne also helps them stay happy by not talking all the time and writing down what happens and how she feels in her diary. The reason this
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” This quote from Martin Luther King, Jr reminds everyone that acts of injustice do not occur in isolation; these acts affect not only those directly involved, but anyone who is living in the world that allows these acts to take place. Kenny Watson, the main character from The Watsons Go to Birmingham by Christopher Paul Curtis, and Anne Frank, a young Jewish girl living in Denmark in the 1940s, both experience injustice and through their experiences different character traits are revealed. Although, Anne Frank and Kenny Watson share similar character traits, one profound difference is what makes them unique characters.
Imagine how it feels to be stuck in a tiny, miniscule room for almost two years, not able to make a sound or movement and if heard by someone,death or concentration camp is the destination? The Diary of Anne Frank by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett is about a small family which consists of Anne, Margot, Mr. Frank, and Mrs. Frank who were in a shock of fear, and went into hiding during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. Over the course of the story other characters join the family into hiding such as Mr. and Mrs. Van Daan, and their son Peter. During the time of hiding, Anne kept a diary to write down all her thoughts, fears, and feelings and was later known to be the most important piece of literature from the times of the Holocaust. The story takes you through their everyday lives of hiding in the annex which also includes arguing and times of happiness. The most important thing that the Franks and Van Daans went through was a time of fear. No matter how much happiness came through in their lives they always had fear jumbled up inside their heads.
The bond between parents and their children is a love stronger than any other bond they have. We all have a special reserved part of our hearts solely devoted to our parents. All children love their parents, and probably couldn’t live without their parents. On page 83 Mr. Frank risks his life by leaving the apartment. Anne like any normal child asks frantically for someone to go find her father. “Quiet! Quiet!” instead of helping Anne by finding her father, Mr. Van Daan only yells at her. In this scenario I can see why you might disagree with Anne. Mr. Van Daan is being very cruel. Mr. Frank has provided him with shelter, food, and a place to sleep, but Mr. Van Daan won’t even go make sure he is safe. He’s acting like Mr. Frank has done nothing for him. Instead of rushing out to go make sure Mr. Frank was okay, he yelled at Anne to be quiet so she couldn’t remind him of how ungrateful he was being. Here is an example of when you really wonder if people are good deep down. If Mr.Van Dann is being so mean how can he be good at heart? Despite his actions at this point I still believe he is good. Maybe not at this moment, but let’s remember how thankful and happy he was at Hanukkah. People can have different sides, but that doesn’t change the fact that deep down under the gloomy clouds is a little light pushing the darkness out. The choice is up to you, let the darkness in or, push it out. I believe Mr. V. D. just let the darkness in at that moment. He still had his light, it was just a little
In the year 1933, the persecution of Jews and their families due to the holocaust had begun. Hitler had come to power, and made Nazi Germany believe the Jews were the problem. The Jewish families were forced into hiding or else they would be taken away to concentration camps or killed. One of the families in 1945, being persecuted were the Franks. Anne Frank was 13 when they moved into the hidden annex above Mr. Kralers office building. She wrote in her diary of her time there, and her feelings. Anne talked about the Van Daans and Mr. Dussel; a family and a dentist sharing the space with the Franks. The years past and she wrote and waited, hoping they may be liberated, according to the play written by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett called “The Diary of Anne Frank”. As the time passed, many historical events that occurred outside the annex influenced the moods and relationship of the characters inside.
The Holocaust is the mass murder of Jews under the German Nazi regime during the period 1941–45. More than 6 million European Jews, as well as members of other persecuted groups, such as gypsies and homosexuals, were murdered. Anne Frank was a young girl who had to live in a secret annex with her family starting July 6Th. The Van Pels family joins them a week later. The two families already know each other: Otto Frank and Hermann Van Pels are business partners. Four months later, Fritz Pfeffer is the eighth person to move into the Annex. He 's Miep Gies ' dentist. Anne and the rest of the people hiding in the secret annex had to live the end of their lives in the holocaust. Anne Frank received her diary for her thirteenth birthday on 12
Throughout the Holocaust, many individuals suffered lack of optimism, such as being apprehensive about an inevitable extermination. However, Anne Frank decided to make the most of the situations she was in, regardless of how tough or severe the situation presented itself to be. Anne Frank expresses her opinions in her diary, “I don 't think I 'll ever feel at home in this house, but that doesn 't mean I hate it...The Annex is an ideal place to hide in...there 's probably not a more comfortable hiding place…” (Frank). Anne, though she is
In the beginning Anne’s diary talks about her life has a 13 year old teenager. It was on her 13th birthday that she got a diary. In her diary, she wrote about her friendships, crushes and her academic performance at school. Anne had an older sister named Margot, and they attended a Jewish school in Amsterdam. In this diary, the Franks moved to Netherlands from Germany because they feared prosecution. After the Germans invaded the Netherlands in 1940, the Franks, another family called the van Daans and Mr Russell hid in a small secret annex above Otto Frank’s, Anne’s father’s office. The employees of Otto’s office helped supplied the Franks with food, and information of the outside world. In this diary, Anne wrote a lot about her feelings. She would write about how she adored her father and how her mother lacked in love and affection. She did not write much about her sister Margot. In this dairy, Anne developed a strong bond with Peter
In the play, The Diary of Anne Frank, there are many themes that are presented in this story. I chose two themes that I thought stood out in this story. One of themes in is that you need to identify yourself. Anne explores her identity when she was living in the secret annex. The tension between the war and the personal identity Anne is trying to develop, drives her portrayal on herself. "You could not do this and you could not do that. They forced Father out of his business. We had to wear yellow stars. I had to turn in my bike. I couldn 't go to a Dutch school anymore. I couldn 't go to the movies, or ride in an automobile, or even in a streetcar, and a million other things” (Act I, Scene 1, pg. 8, Anne). Another one of the many themes in this story is to always have hope. The Holocaust was an extremely difficult time to live in, but through it all, the Franks never lost hope. It was hard to keep hope, but through constant encouragement from each other, they managed to stay hopeful, even through the hardest times. "For the past two years we have lived in fear. Now we can live in hope" (Act II, scene 4, p. 119, Mr. Frank). This quote shows how strong the Frank 's belief in
If they found them they were be killed by the Nazis so they do their best and anne try to be optimism with the situation. For this reason they need to have a lot of patience in the story says that anne pasted some pictures in the wall to feel more in home, she write about the situation to distract her but she was still in living that problem. Many people suffer in this time. Now is part of the history, people may best respond with patience and optimism but we hope this will not happened again. And we need to be thankful for that now we have conscience that those things were incorrect and the consequences it brings, many people died because of an idea someone had, Adolf Hitler has. We need to be strong to support the kind of problem that anne and his family had. I choose this story because she inspire me about how string she was in hard times. The story of Anne Frank is one that makes me thankful for the changes we have made today. This kind of thing could have very well happened to me if history was different and we hadn 't learned from our mistakes. Somehow, even through the bad, Anne still managed to be happy. This is inspiring to me and makes me think that I should be more grateful for what I have and find more happiness in my
