Anne Frank Reflection

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

A major influence on Anne’s positivity was her father. Anne viewed her relationship with Otto Frank to be the closest in her life. In her diary she even said, “I love you father. I don't love anyone but you.” Throughout their forced captivity, Anne witnessed the compassion her father showed to others. Otto demonstrated kindness by inviting the Van Daans and Mr Dussel to live in the annex with them. Her father knew the risks of inviting more people to hide with them but he set aside the concerns about having enough food, or enough space, or even the threat of being betrayed because it

“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 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

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.

A quote that helps support this is, "But you don't know how important it can get to be...especially when you're frightened." This reveals that Anne likes to enjoy life. This is noted in the play, when she makes the statement until she brought pictures and not clothes, she said that memories mean more to her than anything. It also reveals that she uses her annoyance and happiness as a shell. After Anne made remarks to her mother, she went to Mr. Frank, or her father. She told him personally that she acted the way she did so people would take her seriously. These are the reasons that support the claim that the quote reveals multiple things about her

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

At first, Anne was terrified to go into hiding but her positivity and hope showed and taught many people lessons on how you should look at life. Anne had such a big influence on the people who read her diary. The play that was constructed off of her diary writings really lets us understand how and what Anne was feeling along with the others in the house. The Franks in addition to their friends, had people who helped them out while they were in hiding. This is one reason why Anne would have thought that people were really good at heart. One prime example is Miep Gies. She helped the Franks even though she was not faithful in the Jewish religion. Meip replenished everyone in the group by bringing them what they needed. She had a well thought out tactic that helped her be able to bring supplies to the secret annex. She never gave up on them and helped them through their entire hiding. This shows that people may not believe in the same things as you, but deep in their heart, they are willing to help anyone in need. The group of people hiding in the secret annex was in need, they had no way of getting food or any other supplies. This is where Miep came in to help them. She brought them the food, plus all of the supplies that they needed, therefore, making them live much longer than they should have. In the play, you could tell how happy the family was to see her. On page 326, we read, “Thank you, Miepia. You shouldn’t have done it.” this was

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 believed everyone was good at heart, despite what was happening to her. I believe that everyone has “good” in their hearts; they just have different ways of showing it. The Nazi’s were considered evil by most Jews. Yet, in the movie Anne Frank, the soldier gave Mr. Frank extra time to pack because he saw that Mr. Frank was also a soldier. This shows he has “good” in his heart, at least in my opinion. Even though he is a Nazi, who are supposed to despise Jews, he was kind to Mr. Frank. Take a look at Miep Gies. She hid her friends to try and save them, jeopardizing her own freedom for others. In Miep Gies: A Dangerous Secret, it says “But every day for two years, Miep Gies broke the law (1).” Miep showed great courage and

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.

The Holocaust is one of the saddest events where Natiz killed Jewish people just because of their religion. There were millions kill many went into hiding to try and get away and some were unsuccessful. Anne Frank was one of the many that went into hiding, and after all she went through she said this “In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.” When they were in hiding they had a lot of hard times where people were not very kind to each other, sure they were in a rough time and it can bring out the worst in people but I disagree with Anne.

“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

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

In the text, Anne tries very hard to care for her mother, and not be so mean. Anne used to be extremely furious with her mother. This was only because they did not thoroughly understand each other. Anne knew that her mother loved her, yet she also believes, “...she landed in so many unpleasant situations through me…”
