Have you ever wondered if you should’ve responded to conflict differently? Perhaps you responded the wrong way. Responding to conflict with a positive attitude is the best way to react. It keeps you calm, and it gives you hope to resolve the conflict and move past it. You’ll see these things in Anne Frank The Diary of a Young Girl, this girl had to stay in hiding for a while to stay safe, and she remained positive and talked to her book as if it were almost any other day. In Dear Miss Breed, you’ll see many of the same things in a different way. These Japanese-Americans had to live in some really bad conditions, and even though they weren’t happy about it, they stayed as positive as they could. They use a positive response to their problems …show more content…
Even though she wasn’t the one there at the relocation camps, she was receiving letters from the people there at the camp. The kids there seemed to be doing there best to be positive at the best of their ability. In the text it states that “In spite of all the difficulties, Louise’s positive and patriotic spirit rings true in these final words of her letter: ’if American soldiers can endure hardship so can we!’” (Japanese Boy). This sentence is a great example of keeping positivity in awful conditions or times. She couldn’t even do whatever she wanted to do because she had Japanese ancestry, but she was an American citizen. Positivity kept her going, and that’s what we should all do too.
Also the book The Devil’s Arithmetic is another fantastic example for keeping positivity. The book is about a girl who is magically put back in time to the Holocaust. She tries to just go along with what is happening because she is convinced it is a dream. This thought is looking at things in a positive way because she doesn’t completely live in fear in this world she is put in. She does the best of her ability help out the people that are there. Her positivity inspires others, and now they too have a positive attitude. The positivity kept most of them from suffering a terrible

Ever hear one say, “Sometimes I’m busy making others happy, that I forget to make sure I’m okay.”? After reading Barbara Ehrenreich’s Bright-Sided I have learned that balancing both positive and negative thinking is the single most important life lesson shown throughout the book. Ehrenreich tells readers that the power of positive thinking Is undermining America and how being too positive and too optimistic, can lead to trouble. One that knows how to balance the amount of positivity and negativity will create a proper outcome for their future.
There’s optimism in all literature known to man if not optimism then it would be pessimism. They are the basis of any literature work. It’s found in many books and poems today. In the novel Fahrenheit451 by Ray Bradbury evaluates the theme of optimism. The author Ray Bradbury writes about a guy named Montag who is in a society where firemen burn houses instead of putting fires out. Montag seeks out the good in the books which are banned in this dystopian society where knowledge is forbidden to rise from society. He and other literature seekers pave the way for him to learn knowledge and the freedom of thinking which is against the law in this society. Montag falls in love with books so much that he tries to find someone who can teach him about the books and how important they are to life. The world would fall apart without knowledge no one would have a clue on what to do or how to eat since they don’t have that knowledge at hand. Optimism can also be found in the William Ernest Henley’s “Invictus”, Freedom to Breathe” by Alexander Solzheitsynand and in the speech “The Nobel acceptance by Elie Wiesel.
The Franks were your general German family and Anne was your general German girl.

The story Diary of Anne Frank was a very interesting book which showed the ways a group of Jewish people during the 1940's went about trying to conceal their identity and themselves. This story was a true story taken from a diary of a young girl during the incident. This was made into a play during 1955. This was praised as Frances Goodrich's and her husband Albert Hackett's most famous work as it was performed.The play was started in November of 1945. As Mr.
“I Want to be useful or bring enjoyment to all people even those who I’ve never met, I want to go on living even after my death!” (from a Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank). This quote has a lot of meaning because she wanted to be remembered and I am now writing and telling about her eighty one years later. Anne Frank is a hero because she was a spirited young Jewish girl that had to go into hiding at the age of thirteen.
...w much she missed her friends showed her real feeling toward being stuck in hiding and this made Anne feel relieved that someone cared about her worries.
“Yes there is no doubt that paper is patient and as I don't intend to show this cardboard- covered notebook, bearing the proud name of “diary”, to anyone, unless I find a real friend, boy or girl, probably nobody cares. And now I come to the root of the matter, the reason for my starting a diary: it is that I have no such real friend.” Anne Frank divulges that she wants her diary to be a friend to her unlike her other friends, she feels isolated and alone sometimes, and wants her diary to be someone she can talk to openly and honestly about everything. So she calls her diary “Kitty” and addresses it as her friend. Anne was often emotional and insecure of herself. She felt as though she didn't have any true confidants, which led her to feel lonely and misunderstood. “I hope I will be able to confide everything to you, as a great source of comfort and support.”

The events recounted in Anne Frank’s Diary took place during World War 11. By 1933, the strongest party in Germany had gained ultimate power with Hitler under their command. Hitler was Germany’s dictator who spread his gospel of racial hatred through politics. While poverty and unemployment were at an all time high he launched a campaign of anti-Semitism. Hitler’s main target was the Jews, claiming that they were “racially inferior.” He developed an idea of a Master Aryan Race, the need to rid Germany of “inferior people”, such as Jews and Gypsies, and the need to expand Germany’s borders. In doing this, he caused many Jews to abandoned their homes and go into total isolation. The Frank family was one of many who endured Hitler's wrath. The Diary of Anne Frank is about a little girl who tells her story of struggle and courage through her diary.
I. Introduction The autobiography book, “The Diary of a Young Girl”, is a collection of Dutch diary entries authored by Anne Frank, a 13-year-old Jewish girl who lived through the atrocities of the Anti-Semitist German Nazi Regime. Beginning on June 14, 1942, the diary, which Anne named “Kitty”, vividly depicts fear-filled stories of the Franks and other Jews in evading racial annihilation. Besides the stories of war, the world-renowned personal account narrates a teenage girl’s blossoming and her search for identity, love, and acceptance. The entries end abruptly on August 1, 1944, signifying the Gestapo’s capture of the Frank family and all the other residents of the Secret Annexe, but despite the impermanence of Anne’s life, her legacy endures in her 70-year-old memoir which immortalizes the horrors of the humanity-crushing war and violence in the minds of mankind and how it was perceived through the eyes of the juveniles.
Through out the novel The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank there were many themes that were expressed. On theme includes, in the world there some evil individuals, but inside of most people there is a least a some good. To begin with, I choose this theme because of the evil groups during World War II that took away Jews. Some Germans during the war did not have any good in them. One group of the hateful people that worked for Hitler and were called the Gestapo's. They took away hundreds of Jews to camps. At the camps they were not separated by gender or age and everyone sleep together. As the text states, “...Jewish friends are being taken away by the dozen. These people are treated by the Gestapo without a shred of decency, being loaded
The Scarlet Letter is a blend of realism, symbolism, and allegory. Nathaniel Hawthorne uses historical settings for this fictional novel and even gives historical background information for the inspiration of the story of Hester Prynne in the introduction of The Scarlet Letter, ‘The Custom-House’. The psychological exploration of the characters and the author’s use of realistic dialogue only add to the realism of the novel. The most obvious symbol of the novel is the actual scarlet letter ‘A’ that Hester wears on her chest every day, but Hawthorne also uses Hester’s daughter Pearl and their surroundings as symbols as well. Allegory is present as well in The Scarlet Letter and is created through the character types of several characters in the novel.
