After the First World War ended, the Anne of Green Gables series by L.M. Montgomery became an important part of Polish life (Wachowicz 9). Wachowicz in her article, “L.M. Montgomery: at home in Poland”, suggests the series appealed to Polish citizens during this time, because it offered a kind of “practical romance” and “cheerfulness” that was needed during this period of reconstruction and independence (11). “The first polish edition of Anne of Green Gables (Ania z Zielonego Wzgbrza)” was published in 1912, and from 1919 to 1939 Anne of Green Gables was published another seven times, and the other novels in the series were also published multiple times (8-9). The CBC reported that series was so popular, that some of the novels were given to polish troops during the Second World War, to remind them of values such as “love, home and family” (Anne of Green Gables big in Poland). Yet despite the series popularity, it was briefly banned from 1953 to 1956 during Poland’s communist regime (Wachowicz 9). This seemingly innocent series was banned for many reasons, such as that it was influenced by western thinking, or that it was too unrealistic, and distracted people from contemporary problems (Looby 15). In addition, the series was considered to show “resistance to[wards] authority, and an uncompromising emphasis on the value of the individual” (Anne of Green Gables big in Poland). While all of these reasons are valid, due to the limited scope of this essay, I will focus on the
Anne displays many unique psychological behaviors throughout the novel Anne of Green Gables. These behaviors are impacted by her past and the experiences she has gone through. Anne is a very eclectic character placed into an average, classic town set in Canada. She demonstrates unusual behaviors such as her vivid imagination and her talkative nature which sets her apart from her standard setting.
In Brett Kaufman’s painting, Anne Frank outside looking in, he is implying how Frank never got to have a chance to live her life due to having to hide away from the war going on all around her. Kaufman is relating his 1995 painting to the way she lived. Anne lived in the annex above her father’s work until her and her family got caught. Kaufman’s painting is related to a diary written by Anne Frank while living in the annex. The diary is all of her days, her nights, and her school. While people were below the annex working Frank sat in one spot and either read, or wrote in her diary. After being caught, and dying, her father, being the only one who survived, had found her diary, and published the writing as a book in 1947. Kaufman’s painting and Anne 's Diary relate to a song written in 1998 by Neutral Milk Hotel. The song is singing about the death of Anne Frank, and how close she was to surviving the war. The concept is of how much Anne Franks’ story impacted the world. Anne Frank Outside Looking In, a 1995 painting by Brett Kaufman, a novel, The Diary of Anne Frank, written by Anne Frank, but later published in Amsterdam in 1947, and a 1998 song “Holland 1945” performed by Neutral Milk Hotel, but written by Jeff Mangum explore the idea of how an individual wanted to get out and explore the world, and even
Anne of Green Gables is an enchanting tale of a young orphan named Anne Shirley. Anne, who happens to be an eleven year old orphan at the beginning of the story, eventually gets adopted mistakenly by Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert. Matthew and Marilla were simply looking for a young male orphan who would be able to assist them with physical work around the house because Matthew was getting older, and would need an extra hand. Despite having a little girl, who was useless to them physically, they quickly fell in love with this young girl’s goodness and great qualities. It has recently been discovered that Lucy Maud Montgomery, the author of Anne of Green gables, was suffering of depression and loneliness

The Holocaust was a time of war where many families were separated from one another and many had died from this tragic event. Although, from the book “Diary of Anne Frank” a Jewish girl named Anne that had been affected by the Holocaust had said, “In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.” Even though Anne and her family faced many hardships during the Holocaust Anne still saw the good in it all, and after reading the book I have to agree with Anne’s quote. One of the main reasons of why I am siding with Anne is because of Peter’s actions throughout the book and how his actions rapidly changed once Anne showed kindness to him. However, I can see how some people may disagree with Anne’s quote throughout Mr. Van Daan’s horrible actions throughout the book.
Discrimination is now becoming a well-known term around the world; many acknowledge it from the time they came across: sexism, racism, ageism, and the type Anne Frank came across, persecution. Anne Frank was a thirteen-year-old Jewish girl who was hiding from the German Army or the Nazi’s, as they are better recognized back then. Her life story consisted of constantly escaping and being in isolation from those who wanted her dead; it was a difficult time to live in. Anne Frank was attacked because of her differences; Adolf Hitler (leader of the Nazi’s) was killing anyone who was not classified as “pure” or part of the “superior race”.
Specific Purpose: To inform my audience about the life of Anne Boleyn and the impact she had on the English monarchy.
Anne and the others are able to find hope and enjoyment amidst their suffering by believing things will get better, realizing they are lucky in the position they are in, and by dancing, singing, talking, and doing other things that they like to do. Anne and the others also find hope and enjoyment amidst their suffering by hoping they will be able to go back to what they liked to do, of which they couldn't do since they were in hiding. The narrator says, "Wonderful news! The Allies have landed in Africa. Pim says that we can look for an early finish to the war. Just for fun he asked each of us what was the first thing we wanted to do when we got out of here. Mrs. Van Daan longs to be home with her own things, her needle-point chairs, the Beckstein piano her father gave her . . . the best that money could buy.
I read Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery. This book is about a young orphan child, with a never-ending imagination, named Anne. Anne has been taken in and out of orphanages all her life. Until, one day Matthew Cuthbert and his sister, Miss Marilla Cuthbert, are interested in having a young boy to live with them. They called the orphanage and told them to send the child on the train. He goes to the train station to pick the child up, but to his surprise he found Anne. Anne tells Matthew how she imagines living there would be like. She was so set on staying that Matthew just couldn't leave her at the train station. He takes her to his house, and while on the journey, Anne is enjoying every moment of the beautiful flowered valleys.
The Diary of Anne Frank consisted of ten main characters. There were two different families in the annex and two people who worked in the warehouse who helped the families get their supplies. Mr. Frank and his family needed help getting into Amsterdam from Germany. Mr. Van Dann, a man who had already lived in Amsterdam, helped Mr. Frank to get a warehouse in Amsterdam. From the minute Mr. Frank got to his new home he was preparing the annex for his family. Mr. Frank knew he needed to repay Mr. Van Daan for what he had done for him, so he invited the Van Danns to stay with them in hiding.
The end of Anne's story makes me feel very frustrated because Anne suffered in the annex for two years but was still captured by the Nazi's. It would have saved Anne so much suffering if she was captured by the Nazi's early on and be killed earlier. Anne and her family worked very hard to stay alive during the Holocaust, but it was of no use because most of them died in concentration camps. On the other hand, it is pure luck that Anne was given a diary and people all around the world can read it today. Anne's diary makes people feel more connected to the Holocaust and the horrors of living through
Have you ever heard of the Holocaust? The Holocaust was a terrible time in history when Adolf Hitler was torturing many innocent Jews. He put them in concentration camps, but many tried to hid just like Anne Frank and her family. Anne Frank who was Jew, has a famous quote that says “In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.” Even though throughout the “Diary of Anne Frank” we see that people are not always the best they could be, I agree with Anne and believe that everyone is still good at heart. One overall reason I chose that people are really good at heart are the acts of kindness Peter has throughout the book to Anne. However, I do know that there are two sides of an argument, I can see how some might
Anne has many internal and external conflicts throughout the book. Her biggest conflict was whether she should realize that imagination isn’t reality. This was a big challenge for Anne throughout the book since she was an orphan. Anne didn’t have the best environment to live in, not having the prettiest clothes and the most delicious meals. The one thing that kept her motivated through the harsh reality and the situation that she was in was imagination, but when she came to Green Gables, the harsh reality was over but she couldn’t quite just let go of her imagination that built on and on for so long.
