nne Frank shows us that a positive attitude can help to persevere the hardships of life because there is reason to. Her sense of perspective allows her to realize that there is hope for a better future. Anne never lets go of her belief in the resilience and strength of the human spirit. Anne Frank was born Annelies Marie Frank on June 12, 1929 to parents, Edith and Otto Frank. In addition, Anne had an older sister, Margot that was 3 years older than her. Anne was just 13 years old when her family went into hiding in the Secret Annex to avoid capture by the Nazi 's. After the Germans invaded Holland in 1940, consequently, the same laws imposed in Germany were extended to the Netherlands. Although this may be true, Anne is …show more content…
As Anne hears about more of her friends being deported and taken to concentration camps, her fears heighten and, of equal importance, she questions why the Jews are being repressed. Important to realize, Otto Frank tried to arrange for the family to emigrate, to the United States, be that as it may, this possibility was taken out of play, by virtue of the United States government. For this reason, shortly before going into hiding, Anne gave her neighbor friend a few of her personal items for safeguarding. Anne, in the hope that she would be able to regain possession of these items, gave her friend a book, a tea set, a tin of marbles and the family cat, Moortje. "I 'm worried about my marbles, because I 'm scared they might fall into the wrong hands." Toosje Kupers said Anne told her. "Could you keep them for me for a little while?" Another key point often overlooked is that even after hearing that the Dutch are becoming more anti-sematic, Anne is disheartened and dampened but nonetheless remains optimistic about humanity. Anne believes, "Human greatness does not lie in wealth or power but in character and goodness. People are just people and all people have faults and shortcomings but all of us are born with basic goodness." Anne says that she does not blame the Dutch people for her family 's misfortune. Equally important, her sense of perspective
The first part of the diary starts with her being a regular girl having fun and turns into a girl going into hiding with seven other people. In addition, she has to deal with relation problems with her mom, sister, and the people she is in hiding with. The problems begin when eight people are confined in a small area and everybody begins to irritate and annoy one another. Anne was especially concerned with herself and with her attitude towards the others in the group. She's mainly concerned with her mother who always treats her like baby. Mr. Frank tires to ease the quarrels between them by telling Anne to help out more around the house, but Anne stubbornly declines preferring to concentrate more on her studies. She especially gets plenty of confrontations with Mrs. Van Daan who thinks she is a spoiled little girl. Mrs. Van Daan constantly tells Anne’s father, “ If Anne were my daughter.” Anne’s respond to this in her diary was, “Thank heavens I’m not!” Of course
Even though Anne lived in confinement and in such circumstances she didn’t give up on herself and was still optimistic. This shows that Anne Frank is a strong person, at an early age she was able to not lose hope and still believed that people are really good at heart. She continued to grow as a person and still had positivity in
The story of Anne Frank is probably one of the most recognized and well known in the world. The experiences she and her family suffered through as they hid from the Nazis during the Holocaust. Their story is well documented in Anne’s own words through her diary. She revealed the horror and difficulties her family faced as they hid in an attic (the annex) for two years from the Nazis. Somehow, despite starvation, hours of total silence, and being separated from the outside world, she maintained a belief that man was still capable of humanity. In her diary, she stated, “In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.” How is it possible for someone who endured what she endured to still have kindness, optimism, and hope?
“It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.” (Anne Frank) Anne Frank was one of the many children who fell victim to the Holocaust during the World War II. Anne’s story is nothing short of a tragedy; she died at the early age of fifteen from Typhus while being held by the Nazi Regime, in the concentration camp Bergen-Belsen. Before dying, Anne and her family went into hiding and lived secretly in her father's office building in the Netherlands. While living in the “Annex,” a secret hiding place, she developed many interests such as reading and writing. Anne is famous because she is one of the best-known victims of the Holocaust, her story has been shared with millions in a publication of her diary, and through her writing’s she introduces many people to the massacre and its horror.
During this scene, Anne is showing her kindness to everyone in the Annex. Everyone is feeling kind of down and sad, and they didn’t really expect to get presents this year. When Anne gave them presents, it gave them joy and really lifted their spirits. She gave gifts to everyone that was in the Annex, even though some people didn’t really deserve them. Anne showed her kindness to Mr. Van Daan and Mr. Dussel because in my opinion, they were some of the most selfish and unkind people in the Annex. Mr. Dussel was constantly being rude to Anne, especially about her having night terrors. Anne got him some earbuds for at night, which was very kind of her after all of the things he’s said to her about her nightmares. Anne shows that we can all be kind to one another, even the people that aren’t so kind all the time. Through Anne’s actions on Hanukkah, I agree with her that people are really good at heart.
Jews have perished because of their beliefs since the beginning of time but never have so many Jews been persecuted worldwide as they were in World War II. Anne Frank’s diary reaches a place within all of our hearts because it reminds us how easily the innocents can suffer. Sometimes we may choose to close our eyes or look the other way when unjustifiable things happen in our society and Anne’s tale reminds us that ignorance, in part, claimed her life. Sadly, her story is but one of many of those who died in the Holocaust and as with other Jews, her fate was determined by the country she lived in, her sex and her age.
In this passage, we can see that Anne does not think the identity imposed by the Nazis is being reinforced by the Dutch. She understands that Holland is under Nazi control and is being occupied by Nazis, but doesn’t think that the Dutch people are
Storoies has been born during the Holocaust, Anne Frank's was one of them. She was a Jewish young teenage girl who lived in Amsterdam, Holland. When the Nazis occupyed Holland, she went into hinding with her family in 1942 when her sister, Margot was called up to a concentration camp. A few other Jews has joined them later on. After more than a year of hiding, they were discovered in 1944 and were seperated during transitions to camps. Anne and Margot stayed together but died in 1945 of typhus, only a few weeks before their camp was liberated. In fact, the whole Frank family didn't survive except for Otto Frank, Anne's father. Otto Frank returned to Amsterdam and later found out that Anne had kept a diary the whole time they were in hiding. The diary survived because of Meip, a guardian of the Secret Annex, she saved it for Anne after
Don’t you hate it when your family and strangers treat you in a harsh way. Anne Frank was treated harshly by some people in the secret annex people would yell at her call her spoiled lazy and was always telling her what to do. But some people treated her nicely like Peter VanDaan and her dad in a way that made her feel loved by some people around her. Anne was a twelve year old girl when she was forced into hiding because she was a Jew in Nazi territory during WW2. Anne is treated by the people in the annex in many ways and that effects her character in such a way that changes her character.
Anne Frank was a young girl who lived during the holocaust who lived during Hitler’s reign in Amsterdam. Only one problem: She was Jewish. In July of 1942, Margot Frank was called to report to a concentration camp. The Franks were forced into hiding in an annex behind Mr. Frank’s business. The Franks, along with the Van Pels and Mr. Pfeffer, hid in the annex for about two years. During her time in hiding, Anne confided in a diary. In her diary, she wrote “Despite everything, I believe people are really good at heart.” I agree with Anne. In my opinion, everyone is good at heart; they just show it in different ways. People do what they think is right. Even though there is evil in the world, I believe that deep down, everyone is good at heart.
Everyone in history has faced a time where there life was flipped upside down. The Jewish lives were flipped upside down when Adolph Hitler rose to power. He killed millions of Jews and used them as a scapegoat for no apparent reason. In The Diary of Anne Frank by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, the Franks were just one of the millions of Jewish families whose lives were suddenly struck with complications. When the franks tried to escape Hitler by going into hiding Miep Gies stepped up and risked her life to help the Franks. Miep was always trying to give great news and hopefulness to the franks to get there spirits up, that represents optimism.
A group of Jewish people flocked to Amsterdam to hide from Nazi Police. The group was two families, The Frank's and the Van Daan's, among the Frank family was a young gril named Anne Frank. Anne would keep a diary of her daily life in hiding for about a year and a half. The views she shares are like none other the world has ever seen. Anne paints a picture worth over a billion words.
Anne Frank was only thirteen years of age when trouble began to arise. Adolph Hilter’s reign in Germany had become more powerful
Not even a month following her thirteenth birthday, Anne got the shocking news that Margot, her 16 year old sister, had been ordered to report to a work camp in Germany. Afterward, Anne and the rest of her family secretly moved to an Annex behind her father’s business. She could no longer go to school, get together with friends, or go out at all. Some of her father’s last employees would come and accommodate them by giving them left over food and water at any time they could, but it was not enough to feed the four Franks, the three Van Pels', and a man they welcomed in 1942, Fritz Pfeffer. The occupants were not to make noise, the slightest sound or even a glimpse of a person through a window could give them away. The windows were not to be open let alone looked through, and toilets were only to be flushed at the safest times when there was no sign of life. The children were homeschooled whenever possible and only had their other companions as company. “My mind boggles at the profanity this honorable house has had to endure in the past month… To tell you the truth, I sometimes forget who we're at odds with and who we're not” (Frank
During the devastating time of World War II, a Jewish teenage girl wrote a diary about the gruesome events she witnessed, this diary was named, Diary of a Young Girl, Anne Frank. Anne Frank lived in Holland and went into hiding when her sister, Margot, got a letter to go to a reception camp. The Franks faced terrifying moments during hiding. They witnessed war outside their window and stayed in the same house without even going outside for about two years.To add on, the Franks had to keep in mind how every day they could be arrested or even die. Sadly Anne and her family are arrested and are sent to Auschwitz, a concentration camp where she would later die. While in hiding, the Franks and the Van Daans, who were also in hiding with them,
