While living in the secret annex, the Franks and the van Daans faced many strict rules to ensure their safety. The annex residents imposed the rules of no talking during the day, no walking during the daytime, and no outdoor activities or exit outside of their hiding area. The rule of no talking and no walking around during the daytime was put in place so the members of the annex would not be discovered. During the day, the office building had workers inside until 5:30 which made life in the annex
In the 1930’s, the Nazis gathered and killed millions of Jews. One of the Jews affected was Anne Frank. She and her family hid from the Nazis for over two years in an attic over an office building. During that time, she recorded all her thoughts and experiences in a diary. One of the most famous quotes written in her diary is, “Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.” Some may not feel this quote is accurate, but I agree with this statement because even in the most
Anne Frank was a 13 year old girl who lived in Amsterdam, Holland. She wrote a diary about her life during the Holocaust and when she was in hiding during the Nazi invasion. In her diary, she said “Despite, everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.” I agree with this statement. My first reason for agreeing with Ann Frank is that people will often help others, even in the worst conditions and even if they put themselves at risk. For example, Meip, an employee of Anne’s father, was
“We don’t need the Nazis to destroy us. We’re destroying ourselves.” (559).These words of Mr. Frank shows many of the multifarious characteristic traits he possess. This quote shows that Mr. Frank is forgiving and has control over his own emotions. He doesn’t want any disputes in the Annex and he doesn’t lose control when angry. It also shows that he is authoritative. Mr. Frank took control of the situation in the midst of everyone arguing. One last example of a characteristic trait this quote shows
Who would anybody be without courage? All of the characters from the story Anne Frank -The VanDaans, The Franks, Mr. Dussel, Miep, and Mr. Kraler- would be miserable if they did not have any courage. Granted, some people are braver than others, but at some point, each and every person in The Diary Anne Frank had to have courage in the situations that they were in. The Holocaust was a difficult time for everyone; some people were forced to have more courage than others given the circumstances. The
The Play of the Diary of Anne Frank starts out in the annex in the warehouse in Amsterdam, Holland where Anne Frank and seven others hid out during World War II. It opens with Otto Frank and Miep Gies standing in the annex alone in 1945. Mr. Frank had just come home from the concentration camps, being the one survivor from the annex. After conversing for awhile, Miep hands Mr. Frank Anne’s diary from the days of living in the annex. He starts to read the book, as it slowly flashes back to 1942
members or workers when the Nazis barged in. He was shocked that they found out they were hiding jews as he lead up the Nazis to them. The SS officers order Kugler [Mr. Kraler] to lead the way and “Kugler obeys…the men follow them, their pistols drawn” (Müller 6). This means that the SS officers came into Mr. Frank’s building and asked Kugler where the jews were. He obeyed the SS officers by taking them up the flight of stairs to the people in the Secret Annex while he has a pistol behind his body
In the Diary of Anne Frank hope and courage is an important element to have during hardships as shown through the Franks, Miep, and Mr. Kraler. They present this through their actions, words, and thoughts about their faith that everything will be alright in spite of their situation. These components are essential in times of misery because without them for they would have given up on life a long time ago. Their courage and hope will show shine through in the evidence below to support this idea.
I Believe … In my English class we were learning about Anne Frank and her life during the Holocaust. During the Holocaust, many people, mostly Jews lost their lives; Anne was one of the 6 million Jews who died. Before her family and everyone else were taken to concentration camps Anne liked writing in her diary. After the war Anne father the only one in their family that survived received Anne’s diary from Miep, the caretaker of the families while they were hiding. One of the most eye catching
In the Holocaust many Jews died by the Nazi party led by Adolf Hitler, many Jews went into hiding. Anne Frank’s family and close friends went into hiding when the Nazi’s took over. Anne Frank quoted in Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl The Definitive Edition (ebook) entry dated Saturday, 15 July, 1944(414): “In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.” I agree with Anne Frank’s statement. My first reason showing why I agree with her is that people do good things
Anne Frank once said, “In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart. The Diary of Anne Frank shows Anne, the main character, remaining positive and seeking for the good in people throughout the entire play. There are many people who prove Anne correct, such as Miep and Mr. Kraler. Anne’s point of view towards the world is correct because Miep and Mr. Kraler put their own lives at stake to help the two families, Mr. Frank keeps his cool in the toughest times, and while
Shelley’s “Frankenstein'; Through the exploration of value attached to friendship in Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein';, it is found that Victor, Walton, and the monster each desire a companion to either fall back on during times of misery, to console with, or to learn from.

PERSONALITY THEORY – CARL ROGERS AND VICTOR FRANKL Why is it that man lives up to a certain point not knowing what the meaning of life is. Not knowing what path to follow, not knowing if the energy and courage to discover the truths of ones own existence in this world exist. Some persons will drive past a street child on Cape Town roads and look sideways in horror, quickly lock a car door with an “unapparent” elbow; warm, safe, and comfortable in the interior of a brand new sports model car.

Blues, most of the characters struggle with their identity at some point. Victor has an especially strong urge to rebel against his Native American heritage, which is apparent in his violent, arrogant demeanor and his obvious problem with alcohol. Victor is tied to his past and has trouble coping with his life as it is, and is in a constant battle with himself, his surroundings, and other people. Early in the book, Victor is portrayed as somewhat of a bully, and he and Junior are even referred

Death and Sorrow in Frankenstein Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is filled with death and sorrow. They occur in almost every aspect of the book. The four "squares" of the book, Walter, Victor, the monster, and the cottagers, all suffer from them at one time or another. Some perceive Frankenstein as a horror story; however, in actuality it is a book of tragedy and despair. Every page reveals more misery than the page before. Thus, death and sorrow are inevitable in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Walter

Victor Paid for his Sins in Frankenstein The setting for Mary Shelly's Frankenstein plays a very important role on both the significance and realism of the story.

The formerly profane practices of medicinal healing were only beginning to gain acceptance in major universities as hundreds of cities were
The Meaning of Life According to Victor E. Frankl The meaning of life, defined by Victor E. Frankl, is the will to find your meaning in life. It is not the meaning of life in general, but rather the specific meaning of a person’s life at a given moment. He believes that if you are approached with the question of “what is the meaning of my life” or in this case, “life is meaningless,” then you should reverse the question to that person asking the question. For example: What are you bringing to
