Anne Frank: Are People Really Good At Heart

Frank also contributed to the theme that people are good at heart. In Act 1, scene 2, he decided to take in the Van Daan’s even though it increased the danger of them hiding. That showed that Mr. Frank had a big heart because the Van Daan’s could have blew their cover, but he took them in anyway. In addition, in Act 1, scene 5, he took in Mr. Dussel without hesitation. When Miep brought Mr. Dussel to the Annex, Mr. Frank said that they could stretch the food and would take him in. In conclusion, Mr. Frank was always looking to help people and take them into hiding.

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.

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 Frank, a name? A book? A girl? A prisoner? Anne was all these things. She lived in a world ruled by the Germans. Adolf Hitler, the ruler of the Nazi Germans ordered for the whole Jew population to be destroyed. He ordered all Jews to be taken from their homes and to be sent to labor or death camps, also known as concentration camps. Once Anne’s family heard of this they went into hiding with four other Jews. After two years of hiding, not being able to go outside, talk or move a lot, or being able to use the W.C. at certain times of the day, the Franks, Vaan Dans, and Mr. Dussel were turned in by a random citizen and were arrested. Before that time Anne had a diary where she wrote her deepest most inner thoughts. She once said, “Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.” I disagree with Anne’s statement, “Despite everything, I believe people are really good at heart.”

That is truly amazing. Anne makes everyone happier and just smile more. She can bring the best out of people and, in situations. Anne is just being a teenager and trying to have fun. I truly hope I can be like Anne someday. This girl went through torture and pain and still kept a smile on her face. Meanwhile if teenage doesn't acquire an iPhone they have a fit. We all need to take lessons and look at what's really important in life. Anne knew that family is more important than anything. She would do anything for them, it played a major role in making sure everyone wanted to continue on the journey they were all fighting for. If Anne was not a part of this hiding, who knows what would have happened. I'm so glad I was able to be taught a lesson from such an aspiring young woman, who had a horrible fate. We can not even comprehend the full story on what went on in the attic. There could've been much more terrible situations that happened in hiding that we will never know about. Nobody can judge anything that happened in hiding, because they will never truly know how it felt to be cooped up for two years. We should all give the Frank family our most respect. Especially to have a little girl who believed in people so

Do you believe all people have a little good in them? Anne Frank did. She was a Jewish teenage girl who went into hiding during Holocaust of World War II. She didn’t want to live up to her mother’s expectations, mostly because she felt that she couldn’t. All her mother wanted was for her to be more like Margot, her older sister. In fact, she stated in her diary, "In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart." There are many reasons why she said this. But they all circulate around the primary idea that she was an optimistic person and tried to always see the brighter side in everything.

There was a time in human history where there was a group of people called the Nazis that killed the Jews. However, one girl, Anne Frank, who was in fact Jewish said “In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart”. Even though Anne and her family had to face so much hate from other people Anne could still see the good in all things. After reading Anne’s Famous diary that she had kept in hiding I would have to agree with her famous quote. One of the main reasons why I am agreeing with Anne is because of Anne’s kind actions through her diary especially on hanukkah.

“In spite of everything, I still believe people are good at heart.” Anne Frank was only 15 years old when she wrote this quote in her diary. During that time she was in hiding because the Nazi’s were after Jewish people. Unfortunately, almost all of Anne’s family was found and killed in concentration camps, but her thoughts in her diary will continue to teach us about her feelings during that time. As a young girl, Anne cared for everybody and was always kind.

In the late 1930’s one of humanity's lowest most tragic points in history began… the holocaust. The Nazis had taken over and had sent Jews into hiding. One of these Jews was Anne Frank a girl who said and believed “In spite of everything, I still believed people are really good at heart.” Even though this quote is a nice and optimistic I would have to disagree with it. Some people just aren’t considerate of other people for example Mr.V.Daan. Of course there is the other side of the argument and I won’t disagree that some people are truly good at heart like Miep.

Perhaps Anne Frank’s most notable quote is: “In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.” This remarkable statement shows that young people can be optimistic and hopeful even in the darkest of times. Anne wrote these remarkable words during the Holocaust while she was hiding for fear of being taken to a concentration camp where she would almost surely die. Even though the crimes against humanity still exist today, Anne Frank was right; people are good at heart since they often come together in times of crisis to help and support each other, people help each other in many ways such as trying to stay positive in negative situations, and being caring and loving to their family. That people are good at heart is evident throughout the story told by Anne Frank.

Anne has said countless influential lines that were found in her diary and used in the play. Although, the most known and used quote of all is this one, "In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart." This quote exclaims a wide assortment of characteristics that Anne Frank has, like her views on life or her character, even allowing us to possibly find out why she behaves the way she does in the Annex. For example, the quote could reveal that she has a rather philosophical view on life or that Anne had a very positive and hopeful attitude during this rough time. Now the real question is presented, even when in such a terrible situation, Anne still believed everyone had good in them. Why in this specific situation would Anne have felt this way? Also, why does Anne act like this, is it in an attempt to try and ease the situation or calm down those around her?

“We’ve all done things we are ashamed of...Stop it now! Let's all be happy.” Pg. 506. This quote shows that they are trying to be positive. They are trying to be positive and look on the bright side of things.This shows the people are truly good at heart because they are trying to get each other to be positive and try to be optimistic. Mr Frank: “It seems strange to say this, as if anyone could be happy in a concentration camp. But Anne was happy in the camp in Holland where they first took us. After two years of being locked up . . . she could be out . . . in the fresh air she loved.” pg. 77. Anne was seeing the good in the really bad situation that she was in at the time. This shows how people are really good at heart because she is trying to reassure herself and others that everything will work out and be ok in the end. Anne: I think the world is going through a phase, the way I was with Mother. It’ll pass, maybe not for hundreds of years, but someday . . . “ Despite everything that is happening Anne still believes that it will be over soon and that everything will be ok. This shows how people are good at heart because she is being positive and having

"Everyone is good at heart. " A quote this beautiful young girl once said. Thank you for being here on this melancholy day. We come here for a momentous occasion. the 70th anniversary of Anne frank.

he stench of death lingers throughout the endless amount of bodies that lay lifeless on rubbish, next to them their dead loved ones. Finally the pain they once were forced to endure is non existent, all that is left is a piece of clothing or even a shoe that holds within a story of millions upon millions, of the immense amount of selfless people that helped ones in need. Selflessness can be determined in many different perspectives, one may argue that a selfless person is someone putting their life at stake for the purpose of the nation or community. But, a selfless person is one who perseveres through hard times and gives hope to ones who have already given up , or were on the verge of. Over 1.3 million children were murdered during the Holocaust, this figure includes over 1.2 million Jewish children, thousands institutionalized handicapped, and tens of thousands being Gypsies.

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.
