• Mrs. Frank Has short hair and she love to wear her hat. She don’t anybody messing with her diary she was crazy about her diary. I would think her extraordinary in her vitality, optimism, hunger for knowledge, and creativity. Anne changed in many ways over the two years she was writing and Anne probably have something really in common Anne Frank was her diary. Some of these changes can be described as “growth.” She became an astute observer of politics, and of human nature, and she became a very practiced and well-educated writer. Many of her diary entries suggest a mind mature past her years, and we forget we are reading the work of a teenager. When Anne starts talking about her love life, things can get a little confusing, especially …show more content…
van Daan starts to flirt with him instead of Anne’s father. Mr. Dussel seems more receptive.
• Mrs. van Daan is jealous of Anne’s relationship with Peter.
Like the others, Mrs. van Daan is sent to a concentration camp and does not survive. Anne's biting commentary comes out in full force when discussing Alfred Dussel—whose actual historical name is Fritz Pfeffer. And while we can usually take a step back and view Anne's annoyance as a byproduct of her horrifying living conditions (and the amount of fear prevalent in the Annex), we have to admit: Dussel sounds like a nightmare roomie.
Alfred Dussel is a fussy old dentist and, unfortunately, Anne’s roommate in the Secret Annex. He doesn’t respect Anne at all; he demands Anne’s compliance with all of his absurd wishes while never considering hers. He is generally very selfish, never thanking the Franks or van Daans for sharing their hiding spot with him or showing any gratefulness to their protectors:
I should explain that yesterday was November 16, the first anniversary of his [Mr. Dussel’s] living in the Annex [. . .] instead of taking the opportunity to thank us – for the first time – for unselfishly taking him in, he didn’t utter a word.
But in the play by Melissa Muller shows that he cared about others in the Secret Annex and his family, which shows the readers that he is completely different then who Goodrich and Hackett made him because they wanted to make more tension. Although Goodrich and Hackett changed Mr. Van Daan’s role to a selfish man to add tension to the Secret Annex, this gives humanity a different view of him in a negative way for years on. From the biography by Melissa Müller, Mr. Frank’s role was to help the others, but Goodrich and Hackett made him a leader instead. When the SS officers went through the Secret Annex, Mr. Frank talked about him being in World War I. Mr. Frank says, “I was a reserve officer in the First World War” (Müller 9). This quote means that Mr. Frank was in the First World War and tries to help the others by talking to the other SS officer [Silberbauer]. Also, he is trying to help the others by reasoning with the officers that he was helping in the war, but this war made them go into the Great Depression. Müller says that he was helping the others through the arrest to prevent it, or save more time before they were taken away to the concentration camp. Another thing is that he was shown better at
One of the main ideas of Anne Frank's diary is internal conflict. In the beginning of the diary Anne was very social, but she wasn't independent. Anne was the center of everything. In March 7, 1944 Anne talks about being carefree and gay before she has to go into hiding in 1942. Although Anne was always with someone she often felt deserted because she didn't have many sincere friends. Throughout the book Anne learns that she doesn't need to have many friends, and that she only needs a few that she can trust. Towards the middle of the diary, the first half of the year of 1943, Anne had fits of crying, loneliness, she slowly started to see her faults and shortcomings, and she had to face every difficult task herself.(Page 170) But towards the
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.
...he Franks and the van Daans are fortunate enough to have made advance plans to go into hiding should the need arise, but they still know they are not completely safe from the Nazis. Their security depends on a good amount of luck and hope. Their fear grows each time the doorbell rings, there is a knock on their door, or they hear that there is a break-in at the office building. They hear reports from the outside world about their friends who are arrested and about non-Jews who are suffering from a lack of food. Anne knows that her family’s situation is precarious, and she spends much of her time trying to distract herself from this frightening reality. However, each scare does color her diary entries. She knows what would happen to her and her family if they were discovered, and this fear that permeates life in the annex likewise permeates the tone of Anne’s diary.
He often argued with his wife and Mr.Dussel.Mrs.Van Daan loved her son, Peter, and her husband, although they argued most of the time. She clinged to one material possession, her fur coat given to her by her father.Mr.Dussel was a Jewish dentist that picked on Peter van Daan for every little thing. He wasn't a very religious Jew, but he still wore the blue star.Mr.Kraler was one of the people that helped them survive in the lonely attic. He with Koophuis was sent to the camps with the Jews for housing them. They both miraculously survived the camps.Mr.Koophuis was the manager of the building occupying the group of Jews.
...lf, the content of her diary demonstrates how she has melded her unique experience with her personality to carve out her own sense of self. Where she began as an innocent and somewhat naïve girl, she does not lose this sense of innocence. What she does is replace this naivete with a conscious awareness of the scope of her existence, in terms of realizing the potential for her future. It's no coincidence that being the socially inclined girl she was at school, meant she adapted to life in the Annex through a diary to create a portrait of her life in hiding through her work. For Anne, not only was her diary her personal outlet, but a prism by which she could reflect on herself through her many colourful identities.
The “Diary of Anne Frank” is a real diary written by Anne Frank, during the time of the Holocaust. She describes her days hiding in a secret annex with seven other people. Some days they got along and others they didn’t, but in the end they all respected each other. In the “Diary of Anne Frank,” Anne Frank says, “ I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are really good at heart.” This message serves as a theme throughout the diary. Throughout the diary, she explains how the people she spent her days with were good people at heart.
Anne Frank was a cheerful, beautiful, 14 year old girl who went through a terrible experience. In the year 1942 The Holocaust had started meaning Anne and her family along with four other people went to hide away from the Nazis. They were put in a small Secret Annexe in Anne’s Father's old work building. For a long time Anne only had her Diary to “talk” to, she wrote in it almost every day. Afterward in 1944 when they got captured by the Green Police and Anne had to leave her diary behind along with all the rest of their belongings. In the year 1945 Anne died of Typhus Fever and along with her other family members except her father. After the war ended Mr. Frank went back to the Secret Annexe with Miep and they found Anne’s diary. In the year
Anyway, the first difference between Anne and Peter is Anne is wild and ou there while Peter is more to himself. On many occasions Peter opted to stay in his room with his cat Mouschi rather than eat. Anne is more expressive. For example, if something/someone gets her mad/upset she will inform everyone around her of it. This is evident when her mother tries to see if she's alright by asking her to see her tongue. Anne refuses her mother's instruction to show her tongue. Mrs.Van Daan gets involved and instructs her to listen. So as you can see Anne can be quite something. Another difference between Anne and Peter is Anne has a tense relationship with her mother while Peter has a tense relationship with his father. It is evident Peter has shaky or tense relationship with his father because when Mr.Van Daan says to Dussel ''Did Mr.Kraler warn you that you won't get much to eat here?". The stage direction after that says "Peter walks away humiliated". The third and final difference is Anne's mother and father have a good relationship and Peter's mother like him doesn't get along with his father. There isn't much evidence to prove that Mr. and Mrs.Frank have a good relationship. But, their relationship is golden compared to Mr. and Mrs.Van Daan which involves yelling and lots of it. There is a particular item that causes tension. The item is Mrs.Van Daan's fur coat. Mrs.Van Daan believes the coat
Anne was a girl who had her future planned, she knew exactly where and what she wanted to be in life. Her plan was to become someone famous, She mentioned that several times in her diary. Not very many girls thought the way Anne did that’s what made her unique. Her view on women’s rights were mainly about equality she believed that what a man could do women could also do. During this time periDood
People during the holocaust were tortured and killed for nothing, but this one family was courageous. Anne and her family were brave enough to go into hiding during this time. They spent 25 months on a tiny anex above her father's shop. They spent it with the Van Pels and Mr. Feffer. They had to stay in complete silence for so many months ending up to be years. The historical events in Anne Frank changed the family’s relationships and moods.
In my opinion, for a girl her age, Anne was very mature and articulate. To say she was a growing teen, Anne did not just write about boys, but she wrote about what was going on around her and how it affected she and her family. One thing she said that really moved me was, “ The best remedy for those who are frightened, lonely, or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere they can be alone, alone with the sky, nature and God. For the and only then can you feel that everything is as it should be and that God wants people to be happy amid nature’s beauty and simplicity.” She was fifteen when she wrote that statement. Girls her age usually do not think in that type of way. In the midst of the chaos and heartbreak going on in her life, Anne Frank was able to find a way to be happy, even if it meant looking to the small and unimportant things of life. Her words inspired me to look at life from a different angle and to be happy for what I do have. Despite being wrongly treated and discriminated against, Anne Frank had a different outlook on
Around this time, March 14th, they have been living there for two years. Anne reflects on her growth, and how she has become more mature and began to feel more emotionally independent. She notes how life in the Annexe is boring her. Her relationship with Peter is no longer as close. Previously, the helpers who provided them with food were arrested, and Mr. Voskuijl was diagnosed with cancer, with little time left to live. Things seemed to be going drastically downhill. Near the end of July, 1944, Anne writes about an attempt to assassinate Hitler. Anne writes about how she hopes that this proves that the Germans want the war to end too. The last sentence that she writes in her diary is how she thinks she could become the person she wanted to be, “if only there were no other people in the world.” Her diary ends abruptly, although other events were recorded
On her thirteenth birthday, Anne Frank's mother and father give her a journal. She's excited on the grounds that she needs somebody—or something—in which to trust every last bit of her mystery musings. Despite the fact that she has a good social life, she feels misjudged by everybody she knows. Anne begins expounding on every day occasions, her considerations, school grades, young men, all that.
“ Then things got very bad for the Jews. 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 any more. I couldn't go to the movies, or ride in an automobile, or even a streetcar, and a million other things. But somehow we children still managed to have fun. Yesterday Father we were going into hiding. Where, he wouldn't say. At five o'clock this morning Mother woke me and told me to hurry and get dressed. I was to put on as many clothes as I could It would look to0 suspicious if we walked along carrying suitcases. It wasn't until we were on our way that I learned where we were going.” ( Hackett, 104). Anne realizes that her rights are depleting and they have to go. She explains what was happening such as having to wear stars and how she couldn't do this or that, yet how the kids always found a way to have fun. “...If you should find this diary, will you please keep it safe for me, because some day i hope… In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.” (Hackett, 186 & 187). This clearly shows that Anne wants someone to find her diary and keep it safe so it could one day be shared with the world and tell people her story. It also shows how she believes that even through what has happened she still believes that people are really good at
