Anne Frank, author of Anne Frank A Diary of A Young Girl, had a very short life. Her childhood was filled with joy and happiness, until the Nazis rose to power. Anne’s life as a child wasn’t as bad as many others at the time. Anne was born on July 12, 1929, in Frankfurt, Germany. Anne was a Reform Jew, which meant she did not strictly follow all Jewish beliefs. Anne and her family were upper-middle class citizens. Her father, Otto Frank (also known as Pim by Anne) was a lieutenant in the German Army. Anne moved a lot as a child, but she still managed to have a lot of friends. Not all of Anne’s friends were Jewish either. Anne got her diary on her 12th birthday, June 12, 1942. She named her diary Kitty and says that Kitty is her best friend who she can and will tell everything to. …show more content…
While Anne was living the Secret Annex she matured greatly. She was always the one being yelled at for being immature and outspoken. Because of this Mrs. Van Daan, a family friend who lived with the Franks in the Secret Annex, and Mr. Dussel, another friend of the family who lived in the Secret Annex, always said that Anne was raised wrong and disliked Anne as Anne did them. Anne also didn’t get along with her mother, Edith Frank. They fought and disagreed with each other. The building where the Annex was hidden was robbed twice. Though neither of the robbers found the Secret Annex, valuable supplies were stolen. Anne often felt depressed during this time, she was lonely and felt as everyone was against her. She didn’t openly share these thoughts with anyone other than Kitty. Despite this Anne had a growing relationship with Peter Van Daan. The first year and a half Anne saw him as shy, lazy, and awkward. She then developed a crush on him. She went as far to write a letter to Otto saying he can’t do anything to stop
On an early morning in July of 1942, the Van Daans and Franks meet up for the first time at the annex. All of them are covered in layers of clothing to carry as much to their new home as possible. They are all introduced to each other. Living in the secret annex is Mr. and Mrs. Van Daan, Peter Van Daan, Mr. and Mrs. Frank, Margot, and Anne Frank. Mr. Van Daan is a selfish, greedy man. Mrs. Van Daan likes the finer things, thinks pretty highly of herself and adores her husband. Peter is shy, quiet, and just truly doesn’t say much. Mr. Frank is a kind, caring, leading man. Mrs. Frank is motherly, caring, and sweet. Margo does as others say and tries to keep a low-key profile. Anne is wild and unique. She doesn’t let others push her around, and she is very independent. Everyone in the annex is very different.
Anne Frank was born in 1929 just at the beginning of turmoil in German society. At the beginning of her life, Frank’s family was a relatively normal German-Jewish family living just outside of Frankfurt. Her father, Otto Frank, was a business owner and her sister, Margot Frank, was three years older than her. They moved to Amsterdam, Netherlands in 1933 because of the threat to their lives because of their Jewish Heritage.
Anne Frank also known as Annelies Marie Frank was a sixteen year old girl who got murdered during the Holocaust. She was born in the city of Frankfurt in Germany to her parents Otto and Edith Frank. Anne Frank had an older sister who was three years older than she was and her name was Margot Betti Frank. The Franks were known as a very liberal family who were also classified as a middle class family since their ancestors lived in Germany. In 1933 the Franks decided to move towards Amsterdam since Germany was being overruled by the Nazis. While the family had adjusted to Amsterdam, Otto Frank was really focused on his business since he was new into the city. Anne and Margot were also getting adjusted to the school system and when they were well adjusted they started to have friends who were Jewish and non Jewish. Six years later which was in 1939, Anne’s and Margot’s grandmother decided to join them in Amsterdam as well and be reunited with her two beautiful nieces. In March, 1940 a horrible trajedy happened Amsterdam which was that Amsterdam had been attacked by the Nazis who overrul...
Anne’s relationship with her mum was quite different to the novel. In the novel she would write unpleasant things about her mother, she really disliked her mother which was something rare, most children love their mothers, however, Anne always talked about being unique, and not wanting to be like any other individual. Anne states that her mother wasn’t a good example, ‘’I only look at her as a mother, and she just doesn't succeed in being that to me; I have to be my own mother.’’ (7 November 1942). A similarity between the film and the novel would be the way Anne would talk not her mother, however the film doesn’t go into enough depth of the relationship. Anne in the novel talks about her mother quite often, she feels like her mother isn’t being a good role model. In the film you don’t really see their relationship struggles, it is as if their relationship was on the verge of being invisible. Both mother and daughter hardy communicated in the film, in the novel Anne talks about how they would disagree with each other, you don’t see this in the film. This links back to the topic and how her perspectives of her mother in this case weren’t shown in the
Once they arrived to what they called, the "Secret Annexe" they set their things in their rooms. Anne decorated her wall with all of her favorite actors and actresses. About a week later the Van Daans joined them, Mrs. Van Daan brought with her, her "chamber" Mr. Van Daan brought a folding tea table and Peter brought his cat Mouschi. Each of them had their own individual personality, Mr. Van Daan, was pretty mellow with most of the Franks, especially Margot, but often had a word or two to say about Anne, he didn't like her constant chattering. Mrs. Van Daan was loud and flirtatious, constantly pestering people and never willing to do her part of the work around the Annexe. Then there's Peter, the quiet, dull and boring one. At first Anne cannot stand Peter's laziness, but she later grows quite fond of him.
Imagine what it would have been like to be cooped up in an attic during the Holocaust,with only very little space eight people in one little attic. For the Franks and the Van Danns it was eight people and a cat for most the time. With no one to talk to they have to keep everything in, unless they write it. In “The Diary of Anne Frank” the two families live this way. Anne and Peter were two of the characters who experienced this. Anne is a teenage girl who has a sister and lives during the Holocaust. Anne also had a lot of friends so she was popular; she loved to read and write in her journal. She was very loud and obnoxious. In Act one Scene two ,Peter says “I was always by myself, while you were in a big crowd of people.” This shows that Anne was very popular and is used to people; while Peter was not used to as much attention and people. Then in Act one Scene three, Mr.Van Dann says, “ Why can’t you be more like your sister Margot?” This proves that the Van Danns like Margot more than they like Anne ; it also proves they think Anne is obnoxious.
