Are people always doing the right thing? A person is able to perform an act to better themselves and their community around them. They believe in that action, that everything around them is for good. Anne Frank’s statement, that people are truly good at heart, is true. The current generation and the past generation have had its faults, its own troubles, and events, just like the Holocaust and the recent Florida school shooting. Yet, there is always good in the world, no matter the evil. During challenging times, people will come together to help one another, and try to make a difference in the world. People will sacrifice their own for others. People have the ability to change their mind from thinking of the worst in people

Mr. Frank answers their objections to this, that “Please. I’ve thought this out for weeks. It’s the best arrangement. The only arrangement,” (Goodrich, PDF 707). Instead of making the Van Daans sleep in the main room, the Franks sacrifice their own living space for the other family. They are willing to give away their own comfort and personal needs for the Van Daans to have their own privacy. They could have an entire annex, to themselves. Yet, they gave up space and comfort for the other family, who was facing the same trials as the Franks were. Later on, Miep brings supplies for the group in the annex, while risking her life to do so. This is heard in one of Anne Frank’s diary entries. She writes that “The people from whom Miep got our ration books have been arrested. So we have had to cut down on food supply,” (Goodrich, 497). Miep has risked her life to get these ration books illegally, for the family, and now has to find a way to get more food for the family while Mr. Kraler, another caretaker of the family, is in the hospital. Miep had befriended Anne and the family and was willing to sacrifice her own life for the group in the annex. She could’ve been faced

Margot Frank, Anne’s sister, cares for her entire family, and she doesn’t want anyone to be hurt or discouraged. Whenever Anne is rude to their mother, she tries to help her mother feel better about herself. Margot says to her mom,“It’s a phase…¨ (Goodrich, 447). Margot is truly a good person, she cares for her family, and for others. She’s honest with Anne and kind to all. She listens to others and takes their concerns into mind. If one is willing to listen, and truly cares and invest in someone’s thoughts, then maybe one can learn more about the person given. They can truly care for them, and protect them whether as a family, or friend. Nearing the holidays, Anne brings presents for everyone in the annex. She had paid attention to everyone and their needs. “There’s a lot more, songs and presents.” (Goodrich, 480). Many members of the group hiding in the annex believed that Anne was aggravating and annoying, that she were someone who just didn’t pay attention to others. Yet, Anne had paid attention to everyone. She tried to give everyone a normal holiday, something to make their lives feel normal again given the current circumstances. Anne even thought that she, herself, was annoying and rude, but her sweet side still showed through because she cared about these people in her life.
