Anne Frank Compare And Contrast Essay

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

Peter was depressed about his situation and was very shy. That was until Anne brought some joy in his life. She talked to him constantly and enjoyed his company, as he enjoyed hers. The first connection between Peter and Anne is when they first moved in. Peter got a pocket knife and cut out the yellow Star of David and threw it in a fire. Anne cut hers out too but couldn't throw it in. She still held onto it even though the Nazi's forced them to wear it. This shows that she still cares about her religion, even though it was used against her. She said, "It's funny, I can't throw mine away. I don't know why." Peter was confused at first but just went along with it. Eventually, their hatred turned into passion and that turned into love. Sadly they'd die before they would get

Peter's going on sixteen, a shy, awkward boy whose company won't amount to much.” (Frank 165). Anne thought of Peter as a let down.

After bonding over books, Anne goes on to state, “Kitty, I sound like someone who's in love and can talk about nothing but her dearest darling. And Peter is a darling.” (Frank 165). Anne's use of the word darling shows how fond she's become of Peter. They read together and talk about serious topics, that not even the adults care to think about.

The actions in the play and the movie are notably different in the end.

Margot and Peter were older than Anne and were more mature. Anne and Peter both loved cats and had one also. They also had different genders and types of rooms. Margot was a young lady and so was Anne, while Peter was a young man. Peter had a room to himself, Anne had to share a room with one person, and Margot shared a room with both of her parents.

To begin with, Anne and Peter’s personalities have many similarities and differences. Anne is very outgoing, talkative, and optimistic.On page 728 Anne is talking to Mr.Dussel and in their conversation about allergies she says, “How dreadful. You must be terribly lonely”. If Anne was outgoing she probably wouldn't have had the courage to talk to Mr.Dussel like that, or at all. On the other hand, Peter's personality is quiet, respectful, and more reserved than Anne’s. When Anne gave Peter a present for Mousci, he said

In the Diary of Anne Frank, the two characters I chose to compare and contrast are Mrs. Frank and Mrs. Van Daan. These two ladies are similar and different in many ways. They are both middle aged women that live in Amsterdam. When the Holocaust began in 1939, Mrs. Frank and Mrs. Van Daan moved into the secret Annex with their families.

First I will talk about Peter and Anne, in the play Peter and Anne's first impressions were that they disliked each other because there personalities were polar opposite, Anne is a very talkative, energetic girl and Peter is a shy, introverted boy. Some differences between the book and the play is Peter is a very kind, clumsy kid in the book but, in the play he's a fiery hot-headed kid. Also Anne is more disrespectful and rude to her parents and the other adults in the play, but in the book she keeps more of her anger towards her mom and the other adults to herself, she doesn't really disrespect them as much. Some similarities of Peter in the book and the play is, that he tries to shy away from everyone and keep to himself and he really only plays with his cat Mouchi or talks to Anne. Some

While staying in the annex Anne has made a new friendship with Peter (Hackett and Goodrich). Them becoming friends made living in the annex more bearable, for both Anne and Peter. Anne has also improved her relationship with her mother. Their relationship grew by her and her mother trying to understand each other more. Her and her father’s relationship grew more also. Anne would always go to her father for advice or just to make her feel better when her mother or other people living in the annex would make comments about her and how she should be

At first, Anne and Peter never spoke to each other. But during Act II scene 1, they warm up to each other and become friends. On page 265, Peter had told Anne, “Well, anytime you want to let off steam, you can come into my room.” Peter and Anne now truly care for each other. In Scene 2, it’s shown that Anne visits Peter’s room often. Mrs Frank and Mrs Van Daan do not like this change very much, because, as stated on pg. 268, Anne believes that they’re awful and “treating [them] as if [they] haven’t left the nursery.”

In the beginning of the play Peter and Anne were not good friends. During time they started enjoying each others company. They would go to each others rooms and talk for hours, sometimes even till bed. Mrs. Vann Dann didn’t like that they were spending so much time together, she thought they were more than friends. Soon they had feelings for each other in a more than friend way, Mrs. Van Daan learned her suspicions were right. Anne felt like Peter was the only person she could really talk to, and at the beginning he was the last person she’d ever talk to and have a full conversation with.

Towards the beginning of the play, Peter and Anne have a teasing and kind of playful relationship. They don’t totally like each other, but they’re also very different. Anne is closer to her father than anyone else, but she doesn’t really enjoy her mother. Anne and Margot are fairly close, but Anne seems pretty jealous of Margot and her looks. Mrs. and Mr. Van Daan seem kind of rude to her.

Anne Frank had trouble with her parents but she also had some things she could compare both parents. For instance they both did not care whether her reports were good or bad as long as she was well and happy. They both made her mad at times and they are both her parents whether she likes it or not. Each parent had their own way of viewing Anne and each one of them cared for Anne at least a little. It also seemed like they each had a favorite child Anne’s mummy had Margot as a Favorite it seemed and it also seemed as if Anne’s Father’s favorite was Anne.
