When you are hiding from the police, you have multiple thoughts rushing through your head. Anne records everything that happens in her diary that her father gave her. She goes through all of the typical trials and burden just as any other teen. Aside from the fact that she is not living in a normal community. "In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart." This quote was written by a very little Anne Frank who was in a near-death situation. When we analyze this quote, we ask ourselves, why would she be saying this when she's only months near death? I believe that Anne had a jubilant spirit. This made her positive and uplifting to others. I also presume that she thought that everyone should be and was just like her, and that's why the quote, "In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart," was written in her diary. From the collection's version of the script and the play we …show more content…
She always knew how to make everyone roar with laughter. She would skip around like a clown to lighten the mood of the war. Like when Anne tried on Mrs. Van Daan's fur coat and Mrs. Van Daan taught her to say, "Remember Mr. so-and-so, remember I'm a lady." As Anne was saying this, she felt like a mature woman even though she was only a young teen. She thought that saying this would help her develop a sense of romance and she longed to be treated like an adult instead of a child. Anne was always eager about something that she was going to do after the war, weather it was riding her bike, go to school, or even get to discern Jopie again. She knew that was not possible, but she tried to stay positive. It is mournful to say that her dreams never came true, but she was a natural hero. She definitely gave the members of the annex quite a show with her good vibes and
For instance, she fought with Henry many times for the sake of Elizabeth, and the most important is that she chose death so that her daughter would have a better life. Anne was a very respectable character for the most part. She was unselfish in the end, choosing to die for the sake of her daughter. She tried to stand up for herself as a woman in a male-dominated society. Though she did not succeed in the end, she made a strong point that she would not be controlled by anyone but herself.
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.
Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl narrates the journey of adolescent Anne Frank during World War II. The diary allows insight into the changes Anne went through during the war after going into hiding to avoid persecution. Over the course of her time in hiding she matured, and used her diary to voice her innermost thoughts and desires. Anne’s diary shows how she came to terms with change as a result of her circumstances, and how she herself changed as a result.
“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.
It also describes in detail the characters of Anne's father, mother, and sister, as well as the characters of the three Van Daans and Mr. Dussel, who share the attic with them. Anne's difficult situation is made more complicated by her own adolescence. Her maturing process, coupled with the misery of her cramped quarters and her constant fear of discovery and capture, is clearly seen in the pages of the diary. She tells of the conflicts she has with her mother and sister, the support she receives from her father, the love that develops between her and Peter Van Daan, the constant bickering of the inhabitants of the attic, and the deprivations that she must endure while in hiding. She also gives a detailed accounting of what is occurring in the war, especially in Holland, and reflects upon her past life.
Three weeks before they were found Anne wrote in her diary: “Day and night during every waking hour, I do nothing but ask myself have you given him enough chance to be alone? Have you been spending too much time upstairs? Do you talk about serious subjects he’s not yet ready to talk about...?” (Frank 212) They were discovered after two years of hiding and were deported to concentration camps. Her father is the only one of the eight people to survive in the concentration camps. She is an inspiration to many people around the world to have gone through all that at such a young age. Through everything she went through she had kept a diary. Anne Frank had a crazy, but scary childhood, but a good family by her side every step of the way, she died at a young age, and kept a diary which was published into a book.
The year 1943 was when everything started to tumble down and falling apart. It was World War II. Anne Frank and her family, the Van Danns, and all their friends are right in the middle of the Holocaust. While keeping safe, these families and friends are all there for each other when anything does not go as planned, or if they just need a smile. While analyzing the three parts of a story: the beginning, middle, and end; it becomes clear that, along with her family and friends, Anne has a true heart and helps others feel better in times of adversity.
Van Daan was treating Anne as if she was a younger kid. In the text it states “Talk! That's not what they called it when I was young.” Mrs. Van. Daan was being over protective.
As a writer and as an adolescent, she often ponders about many topics on a deep level. She understands things in ways some people cannot, even in ways people refuse to comprehend, like death. She writes about death, saying “the world will keep turning without me, and I can’t do anything to change events anyway,” showing she accepts death out of depression and understands it (Frank, 137). Because of this she is very insightful. Even her father, who read her diary after the holocaust is over, wrote about her insightfulness in a letter, saying “There was revealed a completely different Anne to the child that I had lost...
Learning about Anne’s life and how she had to live taught me a couple of lessons. For instance, she and her family went into hiding which means she couldn’t go outside which taught me to be grateful to even be able to breath fresh air and go to school. Another example, she was judged by her friends mom just because she was Jew which taught me to never judge anybody at the first glance I get. A further example, Anne never lost hope that the war would end and she and her family would make it through she taught me though even through the hardest of times never lose hope.
She has a fear the Nazis but still has hope in the goodness of everyone. “ and was happy in the camp of Holland where they first took us. After 2 years of being shut up and needs rooms, she could be out... Out in the sunshine and the fresh air that she looked.” even though she's been caught and could possibly die she was happy just to be out in the air.
She was always making sure people were okay, and she cared about everyone in the annex. In act one, scene three, Anne shows she is caring. Peter was in his room feeding Mouschi, and his mom told him to come out of his room. Anne didn't want Mr. Van Daan to yell at Peter, so she said, "I'll feed him. "This shows Anne was caring because she knew Mr. Van Daan didn't like Peter spending so much time with his cat, so she volunteered to feed the cat.
It was one of the ways of how Anne spent time in the cabin. She expressed her feelings and thoughts in her diary, including what she thought of her family and other four people, who she liked, who she missed, who her friends were, how her personality changed from outgoing into not interested in anything or rebellious. She spent most of her time in the cabin by studying, reading and writing the diary. It didn’t include much information nor detail about the time period when the diary was written, which was during the WWII and the Holocaust. And also, the story was only from the narrator’s point of view.
Over the time of 25 months, Anne recorded her experiences while hiding from German troops. Her diary describes the fears and emotional conflicts of people crowded together in secrecy. The diary also had its good times apart from its bad such as funny and memorable moments. These include birthday celebrations and Anne’s first experience with falling in love.
She also believes strongly in living life to the fullest, meaning, accomplish what you can today instead of leaving it for tomorrow. An example from the story of how people take life for granted is when one says, “I know that I will die one day, but it will not happen for a long time.” This is when reality strikes. Death comes in many ways, the worst is when it is unsuspected and surprising.
