Compare and contrast Anne’s relationship with her mother to that with her father. Anne's relationship with her mother compared to her relationship with her father is a bit complicated. Her mother seems to care far too much for Anne. She starts to treat her like a baby at the worst times. Mother does try to help at times but Anne gets a little naive. Now her father, that’s a different story. Anne’s father treats her just the same as her mother, but, he has a different way of teaching her and showing her the love that her mother gave and showed almost overdramatically. Compare and contrast the relationship between Anne and Peter at the beginning of the play and later on in the play. Anne and Peter’s relationship in the beginning of the play had “spacing”. I say this meaning that they weren't very talkative or active towards each other like friends usually would be. Peter was quiet and kept to himself entirely; Anne only glanced at him occasionally. By the middle of the play they were arguing and bickering with each other and they were quite irritated by then. After a few months passed they were good friends and practically having therapy sessions when it came to the corruption of the entire group of people in the attic. So, they went from silly children to the best of friends when they figured they could benefit from each other. …show more content…
Anne manages to get on others nerves because she naive, obnoxious and she just a little over dramatic when it comes to being bored. Ann is naive because she seems to see things differently than others. She seems like the type who fights for what she wants until she gets in or pouts when she doesn't get it. She does get a lot more mature as she
Probably, I should understand more their home-culture and how that influences Peter’s life at school. Also, I should interpret (without my own point of view) the family’s action with affect Peter’s
Despite several notable contrasts between Anne Frank’s life presented in the play, “The Diary of Anne Frank,” and other accounts of Jewish people in hiding during World War II, the lives of these Jews had more similarities than differences. These people were similar in the way that they lived the same schedule every day. Anne and the other Jews relied on their helpers, who risked their lives willingly, to provide food and other human necessities for them, as well as tried to include aspects of their old lives before the Holocaust into their new lives in hiding. The Jews lived with fear of getting caught by Nazis in the back of their minds. Even though Jewish people may have had different
In the events that happened during the holocaust were very graphic and very displeasing to lots of families. One of those families were Anne Frank’s family. In the research paper you are going to see what it was like for Anne Frank’s family. The general information, when and where they were hiding, and how they all died during the holocaust, will all be stated in the paper.
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
The settings of two very similar stories can make them seem completely different. In a similar way, Sonia and Anne from the novel I Promised I Would Tell by Sonia Weitz and the play The Diary of Anne Frank by Albert Hackett are Jewish girls in the Holocaust who are struggling to survive. Both of their lives are at risk each day and throughout both of the stories, the girls are put in many difficult and dangerous situations and settings. Although these girls are both living in fear of losing their lives, Anne lives in a somewhat comfortable room for the first couple years of her struggle while Sonia is living in a horrifying Concentration Camp.
Growing up in rural mississippi, Anne’s family was very poor and surrounded by extreme racism. A few traumatic events near the beginning of the story seem to set a tone for the rest of the tale. In the first chapter, Anne’s house is burned to the ground. This is done by her cousin George, but Anne ends up with the blame. Anne is then punished for something that was not her fault. This is almost a recurring theme in the book, as Anne is continuously being punished or tormented throughout her life for having a darker skin color. Soon after this, Anne’s family is devastated when their father abandons them to run away with another woman. Anne’s mother, pregnant at the time, remains strong and finds a job in the city to support her children. Anne’s mother demonstrates determination and independence, and acts as a role model for Anne so that she too will not give up in the face of conflict and struggle.
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.
The Diary of Anne Frank depicts Anne as a very immature character in the beginning of the play. How she develops into a more mature character throughout the story is where the complexity lies. Anne Frank forced many emotional strifes, as well as being a fugitive. Which took a huge toll on her relationships with her family. Anne’s stagnant environment and her transitioning from young girl to young woman did not help her. Overall, the obstacles Anne had to face through out her short life increased her already complex nature.
Sina Salemian Salemian 1 HS English 2;Period 3 Ms.Matthews January 10, 2014 Anne Frank During The Holocaust Anne Frank is a strong young girl that lived during the Holocaust in Amsterdam, Germany. She lived in a very bad time during the Holocaust, where she either had to hide or go to a concentration camp. Anne Frank is a normal girl that should be going to school and not be in hiding from the Nazis and should not have to take the sacrifices of having no friends, no ability to be free and to express her religion. I consider Anne a hero because of all the dedication to staying free and not having to be under a dictatorship.
On page 357 of the collection book, Anne goes on to say that “Then suddenly all would be forgotten and she’d treat me like everyone else.’’ Anne and her mother typically get upset with each other and her parent has raced at her for 2 days after the two days her mother forgives her and acts as if nothing ever happened. This expresses to the quote” in spite of everything, I still believe that people are good at heart." by reason of this is screening that people can be good at heart after 2 days. This shows that Anne, a mother is one of those people who can't hold a grudge for too long.

As a young girl, Anne’s first “teacher” was her very own mother. Anne was a curious little girl. With her curious ways and always wanting to find out what is happening around her, her mother wouldn’t give her any information. Her mother mostly told her to keep quiet and act like she doesn’t know what is happening. Besides
Both Peter and Anne begin the story as immature children. Anne steals Peter's shoes and puts on his clothes. She mocks him saying,“I have a friend waiting for me in there. My friend Tom. Tom Cat.” In response,Peter tells Anne, "You'll be sorry" and embarases her, ". . . you talk so much in class they call you Mrs. Quack Quack." As the story progresses, Anne and Peter become very close, because they both have matured. Peter says to Anne, "I used to think you awful noisy." This shows that they both have changed and trust each
Anne has a social and sexual dominant presence, who according to Freud, could be called a ‘Madonna complex.’According to Penn State, “Sigmund Freud developed a theory to explain men’s anxiety towards women’s sexuality, suggesting that men cast women into one of two categories to allay the uncomfortable dichotomy of fear and desire: the Madonna (women he admires and respects) and the whore (women he is attracted to and therefore disrespects).
The persuasive attempts in both literary works produce different results. The effectiveness of the mother’s guidance to her daughter is questioned since the girl cannot recognize the essence of her mother’s lesson. Despite that, the mother’s beneficial instruction serves as a standard for the daughter to reflect her future behaviors in order to live up to the community’s expectations. On the other hand, Anne’s value of candid expression and lasting relationship dissuades her from obliging to her family’s meaningless duty to place her love and interest above to experience fulfillment in life.
