Anne Frank: Are People Really Good At Heart?

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

Unfortunately, many good intentions end up being actions that seem irresponsible to others. In the novel, A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry, the main character frequently struggles with other characters misunderstanding his behaviors which are initially for a good purpose. Although Walter’s behavior seems irresponsible, he has good intentions to provide his family a better future.

During this scene, Anne confessed that she had a nice side, but she was scared to show it. She would be nice, but she did not know what people would think about her. I think this is a big act of kindness because when you dig deeper and read on, you can find that she told Mr.Frank that the mean Anne comes out and the nice Anne stays on the inside. This shows how hard she has tried and nothing would work, she was kind hearted and felt differently

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.

What defines a human? Is it the compassion for others? Is it the feeling of having a conscience? It is this and many more. Anne Frank once said, "In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart." Anne Frank was a young Jewish girl who lived during the Holocaust. An event called the Holocaust was a time period during World War II in Europe where Jewish people were persecuted and we're treated like lesser people. Despite these harsh conditions, Anne Frank still remained positive. A question that might arise from this is, why did Anne write this, how did she feel during this ordeal, what does the quote reveal about her character and what does the quote reveal about her views on life?

In the play, The Diary of Anne Frank, Anne is a dynamic character who is disrespectful and immature in the beginning of the play. When Anna had a nightmare in the beginning of the play, her mother came into her room to comfort her. Her mother offered Anne water and to stay with her until she fell asleep, but Anne said it wasn’t necessary to stay. When Mrs. Frank stated, “But I’d like to start with you . . . Very much. Really.” Anne replied, “I’d rather you didn’t” (398). This scene demonstrates Anne is both immature and rude because she rejects her mother’s help. Her mother is likely very hurt by this rejection, especially since, as her mother leaves the room, Anne asks for her father instead. In the end of the play, Anne shows she is a dynamic character by displaying the character traits brave and thoughtful. While Peter and Anne

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.

To begin, Anne was a selfless, outgoing, and positive young girl that had to live in hiding. Anne was always positive during the time of the war,

The play, “The Diary of Anne Frank” tells the story of a girl named Anne Frank and the events that occur during her time hiding from the Nazis in the Holocaust with her family, the Van Daans, and Mr. Dussel. While the two families were in hiding, they all suffered tremendously with limited food portions and the need to remain quiet in order to not get caught. During this period, if a person were to be not fit in the Aryan race, which consists of blonde hair, blue eyes, and tallness, then they were to be sent to concentration camps or be killed. Although all of the characters were put into the same circumstances, Mr. Van Daan drastically took advantage of the rest of the Annex. He was portrayed to be selfish and gluttonous because of the fact that he would do anything in order to obtain cigarettes and because he has been given or taking a significant amount of food that is supposed to be for the whole Annex. .

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.

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.

Human Behavior in “Diary of Anne Frank” After Anne Frank’s diary was published in 1947, Goodrich and Hackett created a play based on her diary called “Diary of Anne Frank”. During World War II a Jewish family and friends were forced to go into hiding where they dealt with life and death circumstances. When people are faced with extreme difficulties, they can choose to think only of themselves, use their words to negatively affect others, or be a leader who guides and protects others. Mr. Van Daan was a character who decided he would use his words to negatively impact the congregation.

In the exquisite play, “ The Diary of Anne Frank”, by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett , a major topic is shown which is the natural mother’s instincts to protect their children which is shown by Mrs.Frank. Mrs. Frank is the mother of Anne Frank, and ever since the beginning of the play they get into fights and plainly don’t get along at times and it doesn’t help that they are stuck in one place. Even though that is true, Mrs.Frank’s does little acts to showing her motherly side to Anne like making sure she has her milk, checking if Anne’s has a fever and etc. In addition, whenever Mrs. Van Daan or Mr. Van Daan does anything or says anything rude or ‘unpleasant’ she does not say a word against it, not unless or until it goes against her children’s survival which does occur between the conflict of Mr. Van Daan and Mrs.Frank. Throughout the play, various incidents and pieces of dialogue reveals aspects of Mrs.Frank’s character while also

Besides being lazy, Van Winkle is also characterized as irresponsible. Irresponsibility is Van Winkle’s attitude towards life and his family. His neglectfulness towards his own family and children is the exact opposite from Van Winkle’s helpfulness to the villagers. For instance, Van Winkle was well liked by the children in the village because he plays with them and care for them. However, when it comes to his own children, he neglects them causing them to be “as ragged and wild as if they belonged to nobody” (Irving 10). Van Winkle does little things for the children in town but leaves his own kids by themselves. He never cares for them and lets them go wild while he plays with the children in the town. In
