  • Anne Frank: Are People Really Good At Heart?

    1109 Words  | 3 Pages

    Anne's optimistic personality created the hope that she had for her future. Each day she could do nothing but just hope that one day everything will turn around and be better. In The Diary Of Anne Frank play, she expressed, "It'll pass, maybe not for hundreds of years, but someday..." Deep down inside, she had the hope that all of the disgusting things that Hitler alongside his army performed, would all vanish one day. She knew for the most part that the hatred may never go away, but imagining that it might, made things at least a bit better. Anne's situation was pure negativity, with almost nothing good about it. The only good thing that may have come out of it for her were the relationships that she created with everyone in hiding with her. From the Van Daans, to Miep, she bonded amazing friendships with each person involved. Aside from that, Anne's personality stuck out more than anyone's because of the hope that she had, in such a terrible situation.

  • Analysis of Anne Frank and Pride and Prejudice

    515 Words  | 2 Pages

    “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.”

  • Holocaust Anne Frank Quotes

    The holocaust was a horrible and tragic event that happened in human history where jews were sent to concentration camps or their deaths. Anne Frank was only 13 when she was forced to move from her house and live in a tiny annex above her father’s business. Even though she was forced to do this she still said, “In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.” Even through all the hard things the Franks had to face like moving into the tiny they were still able to go on. Based on Anne’s real diary I would have to agree with Anne’s famous quote. One of the main reasons I’m siding with Anne’s quote is her father’s actions, Mr. Frank when he was very open about letting Mr. Dussel stay with them. However, there are always two sides and I can see how some people might disagree with Anne and I and due to Mr. Dussel’s rude actions and lack of sympathy for others.

    Could you imagine having to go into hiding and fighting for your life only at the age of 13? Well, Anne Frank had no choice but to do just that. Even during all the tragedy that happened in her life, she said, "In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart." The quote that was found in her diary dated July 1944, which were several months before she perished in a concentration camp. To me, this shows that Anne Frank was a brave, powerful, along with a courageous young woman. Even kids now of days could never do the things she did because our biggest concern is over the littlest things, like where is my phone or something like that.

    As the war trudged along and the Nazi’s became more brutal Anne was forced to change to fit her new lifestyle. Being stuck in an enclosed space everyday for two years taught her to be flexible to life and her situation. Anne described in her diary, “I used to bemoan the fact that I couldn’t draw at all, but now I am more than happy I can at least write.” (Frank 197). With nothing to do writing was a blessing, it allowed her to escape and it kept her occupied. Anne Frank herself recognized the change in her life and her personality. She recognized maturity in herself from before they went into hiding to her current position, a year and one-half in, “...I became a young woman and was treated more like a grownup. I started to think and write stories, and came to the conclusion that the others no longer had the right to throw me about…” (Frank 170). Anne began to think more deeply and eventually saw her life before the war as a distant life. She wrote in her diary, “The carefree schooldays are gone, never to return. I don’t even care for them anymore; I have outgrown them, I can’t just only enjoy myself as my serious side is always there.” (Frank 169). Anne also adapted to the living style, as being forced in a house with seven other people forces you to do. Anne has to get used to living a different life, “...[A]s there is no bath, we use a washtub and because there is hot water in the office (by which I always mean the whole lower floor) all seven of us take it in turns to make use of this great luxury.” (Frank 35) Anne’s acceptance to change allowed her to keep a healthy body and mind while in

    You may know about the Holocaust, you may not, but regardless, it was a time of great tragedy, and it is sad to think about it and what our species has done, but a girl whose name was Anne Frank who lived during the Holocaust said this: “In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.” I agree with this statement because in the book The Play of The Diary of Anne Frank, Mr. Frank is always nice to everyone and takes care of the family, but others might not believe Anne’s quote because of the character Mr. Dussel because he is ignorant and impatient with everyone.

    The diary showed one of Anne’s dreams, which was being a writer. This helped her get one step closer to her dream job, but going to a concentration camp was the only part that stapped her from achieving her goal. Having a diary, Anne wrote all her feeling and everything that happened in the annex. The words she wrote in the diary showed her youth and immaturity. As time passed her writing style changed showing us that she is not immature and young. Since her writing became symbolic, she expresses her dreams through her own expressions. This quote shows how much she wanted a diary,” A diary! I’ve always longed for one.” This quote is important because this was the start of where Anne had wrote her feelings. Writing her feelings down, she knows how to control it a bit. Clearly, the diary has made a huge change in Anne’s

    I wouldn’t put up with it if Anne were my daughter” (52 Frank). Even though Mrs. Van Daan can be very rude at times, there is still good within her. During the novel there are not many times when her and Anne get along, but once Anne went upstairs to just talk to the Van Danns alone and visit them. This time Mrs. Van Daan was nice and they had a good time together. As Anne explained, “Yesterday evening I went upstairs and “visited” the Van Daans. I do so occasionally to have a chat. Sometimes it can be quite fun. Than we have some moth biscuits and drink lemonade” (50 Frank). Finally I appointed this theme because Anne can see the good in most people. She gets judged many times by the people in the “Secret Annex”, but she does not consider them evil people and in fact she understands and can see the good in them. Most people do not show the good in them all the time but it is secretly hiding inside. Anne wrote, “Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart” (337 Frank). During the novel The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank one theme was, in the world there some evil individuals, but inside of most people there is a least a some

  • The Diary of Anne Frank Book Review

    1379 Words  | 3 Pages

    On June 12, 1929, at 7:30 AM, a baby girl was born in Frankfort, Germany. No one realized that this infant, who was Jewish, was destined to become one of the worlds most famous victims of World War II. Her name was Anne Frank. Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl, by Anne Frank and B.M. Mooyaart, was actually the real diary of Anne Frank. Anne was a girl who lived with her family during the time while the Nazis took power over Germany. Because they were Jewish, Otto, Edith, Margot, and Anne Frank immigrated to Holland in 1933. Hitler invaded Holland on May 10, 1940, a month before Anne?s eleventh birthday. In July 1942, Anne's family went into hiding in the Prinsengracht building. Anne and her family called it the 'Secret Annex'. Life there was not easy at all. They had to wake up at 6:45 every morning. Nobody could go outside, nor turn on lights at night. Anne mostly spent her time reading books, writing stories, and of course, making daily entries in her diary. She only kept her diary while hiding from the Nazis. This diary told the story of the excitement and horror in this young girl's life during the Holocaust. Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl reveals the life of a young innocent girl who is forced into hiding from the Nazis because of her religion, Judaism. This book is very informing and enlightening. It introduces a time period of discrimination, unfair judgment, and power-crazed individuals, and with this, it shows the effect on the defenseless.
