Anne Frank Analysis

Anne Frank was born on June 12, 1929, in Frankfurt, Germany, she was the daughter of Otto and Edith Frank. Anne and her sister Margot grew up in Germany, but before World War II Anne Frank and her family went into hiding in Amsterdam for two years. During World War II Adolph Hitler killed nearly six million Jews.

“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.

The Holocaust was one of the most tragic event in history when about six million Jews lost their lives to the Nazi. It was a very tragic and evil thing that the Nazi’s did. However, a Jewish girl, Anne Frank, said this: “In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.” Through everything Anne and her family went through, she always saw the good in things. After reading the play about her diary, I would have to agree with Anne’s quote. One of the main reasons I am agreeing with Anne is the kind and selfless thing that she did for her family and the people in the Annex on Hanukkah. However, I can see why you might disagree with Anne and myself by Mr. Van Daan and his selfish and unkind actions.

In her diary, Anne Frank famously wrote, “In spite of everything, I still believe people are good at heart.” She was inspired to say this by the people who helped her, her positivity that showed, and everyone in the secret annex. Anne Frank and all of the other Jews were forced to go to concentration camps of go into hiding due to Hitler who was anti semitic. While in the annex, she kept a diary and after she was killed in the concentration camps, later on, this diary was published. After that, a play was made from her diary that was called The Diary of Anne Frank. Consequently, people were exposed to the heartbreaking story of Anne Frank, her family, and her friends. The play really showed the emotions of the characters and

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.

Olivia uses evidence of when Anne talks about people who are nice to the Jews. For instance, Anne would say that the ferryman and the dental assistant are benevolent. Anne also talked about Hello. Even though there is a lot of chaos going around with discrimination against Jews, Anne brings up Hello, the ferryman and the dental

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.

On July 6th, 1942 Anne Frank and her family went into hiding with the Van Daans due to unsafe conditions for Jewish people. The Natzi’s had invaded Holland, where they had recently moved. Many Jewish people lost their lives due to his. Despite all of this, Anne still thought and said, “In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.” Throughout all the troubles and difficulties they went through, Anne could still see the good in everyone. After reading a play based on Anne’s diary, I agree with her. I agree with Anne because of Miep’s actions. Miep helped the people in hiding, even though she didn't have any obligation to. Not only that, but she also treated themt and used her personal food rations to do so. On the other hand, I can see why people would disagree with Anne and me due to Mr. Van Daan’s mean actions and dishonesty.

“How can we expect righteousness to prevail when there is hardly anyone willing to give up himself up individually to a righteous cause? Such a fine, sunny day and I have to go, but what does my death matter, if through us, thousands of people are awakened and stirred into action?” - Last words of Sophie Schroll before her execution by the Nazis. During the Holocaust, having courage was needed if you wanted to survive. Without courage during the Holocaust, one wouldn’t have the strength and the hope to continue believing that everything would get better and that they would be safe. As a result of social injustice, the character that displays the most courage is Mr. Frank for The Diary of Anne Frank. Mr. Frank shows courage due to the fact that he is perseverant, selfless, and how he always sees the good in things.

People saw Anne as a great historical writer and a hero. Just like Francine Prose saw her as “a literary genius” and that she “was in the presence of a consciously crafted work of literature. Dana Sachs felt like she needed to read it and keep it with her because as Dana said “she wasn't around to do it herself.” Mr.Dubin was Dana’s seventh grade teacher and believed that he needed to teach the kids in his class about the holocaust and about what it did to people.

“How wonderful it is that nobody needs to wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.” The Diary of Anne Frank tells the illustrious story of a young Jewish girl hiding from Nazis during Hitler’s third reich. Through the influential voice of Anne Frank and her unrelenting positivity, this eloquent play drives its readers to enjoy life rather than endure it.

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

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,

Do you ever get mad when your parents say you can’t do something or go anywhere? Well, imagine how Anne feels being isolated in that room all day long, every day. The story "Diary of Ann Frank" reveals what it’s like to transition from childhood to adulthood in the modern life. The theme of the story is living in oppression and how it affects Anne as a person, both physically and emotionally.

Hiding in the holocaust was a horrible thing. If you had too, do you think you would survive? Although it was horrific, one Jewish girl, Anne Frank said, “ In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.” Anne never lost hope. She never just looked at the negative in all things. She thought that if someone was bad they could always change, and she was right. After reading The Play of the Diary of Anne Frank I have come to the conclusion that I agree with Anne’s quote. The biggest reason I agree with Anne’s quote is what Peter did. Even though I think this, there are some people who do not agree with this quote. I think some people would disagree because of what selfish thing Mr. Van Daan did with his wife's coat for himself.
