The longer Anne is in hiding the more she changes, her happy writing gets deeper, the circumstances she goes through changes her and her writing more and more.

Everything changed when her family had to go into hiding from the Nazi’s. They packed up everything and left. Anne’s life changed drastically. She was no longer an average 13 year-old girl. Anne didn’t know how she felt about this, “we’re so fortunate here, away from the turmoil. We wouldn’t have to give a moment’s thought to all this suffering if it weren’t for the fact that we’re so worried about those we hold dear, whom we can no longer help. I feel wicked sleeping in a warm bed, while somewhere out there my dearest friends are dropping from exhaustion or being knocked to the ground.” (Frank 63). Anne realizes how different staying inside all day is then being outside all day, the two “worlds” are different. In hiding is away from all the pain but, she still has her fears, she is scared, guilty and yet somewhat …show more content…
She still managed to be happy, but her writing was starting to get deeper. She has gone through so much for a 13 year-old girl. Before Anne goes into hiding her writing is very cheerful, “I expect you will be rather surprised at the fact that I should talk to boy friends at my age. Alas, one simply can’t seem to avoid it at our school.” (Frank 5) Anne was very joyful and talking about how she likes her friends. “Again and again I ask myself, would it not have been better for us all if we had not gone into hiding, and if we were dead now and not going through all this misery, especially as we shouldn’t be running our protectors into danger anymore. But we all recoil from these thoughts too, for we still love life; we haven’t yet forgotten the voice of nature, we still hope.” (Frank 242) Anne is getting darker, she says all the things she is thinking about how she wish she didn’t have to go through all the bad times. Anne also still has some in her. Anne changed her writing to the way she
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
Towards the end of Anne’s diary she writes “It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in
“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.
Throughout the entire book Anne remains hopeful that her life will get better. Ever through starvation, boredom, and fear, Anne is still hopeful at heart. When the family arrives at the annex and tries to make the best of the situation by saying, “I don't think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains” (171). Earlier on in the novel Anne had chosen to focus on the beauty beneath the fog of war and death. She keeps telling herself that There is still beauty in the world. Later in the story Anne makes a mature comment, she said, “It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals,
Changes happen to all of us. The change may be good or it may be bad. We all experience changes and the changes reflect how we think, act, or talk in society. Every change is different and every change has different outcomes. In The Diary of a Young Girl, Anne Frank change quite a lot throughout the story. She was very different from everyone else who hid with her in the annex, in good ways and bad ways. As she grows, she changes her personality, her mentality, and, most importantly, her emotions. She wanted to be respected and didn’t want to cause trouble, even though she did. As time went by, she started to change her emotions and felt more empathy.
The Author came out with a strong out look on the situation of Anne Franks Development. Anne Frank was a little girl who lived in Amsterdam with her Father, they lived a normal life until the Holocaust took place and for forced Anne into hiding. Sadly the Nazis found out about the Franks hiding and who they were staying with, Otto Frank was they only one who survived. Anne Frank knew that she would even be living a sad and scary life. "Anne’s Voice. I expect I should be describing what it feels like to go into hiding. But I really don’t know yet myself. I only know it’s funny never to be able to go outdoors . .
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.
"The Diary of Anne Frank" tells us a story about how her life as a Jew was drastically changing during the Holocaust and the start of World War II (WWII). She was a very intelligent young woman that had hopes and dreams. Anne was a normal teenager trying to find her way in life. All of that changed when the Nuremburg Race Laws were formed. Her father who was a World War I fighter hid his family and friends in a Secret Annex that was blended in with a normal neighborhood. As she lived for months in the Secret Annex, Frank had written her diary, full of her experiences in the Annex. Everything changed though, when she reached the end of her times in the Annex. Hitler's men had found Anne and her family and friends. This memoir adds in to the
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,
Throughout her time in the “Secret Annexe,” (what she called their hiding space) Anne grew from a hot-headed child into a smart young woman. In the beginning of the book, only 2 months after going into hiding, she writes that feels grateful that her and her family have been spared the fate of some of her friends, however this also makes her feel guilty, because she can’t save those who didn’t get the chance to go into hiding. In her diary, on November 19, 1942, she wrote,“We’re so fortunate here, away from the turmoil. We wouldn’t have to give a moment’s thought to all this suffering if it weren’t for the fact that we’re so worried about those we hold dear, whom we can no longer help. I feel wicked sleeping in a warm bed, while somewhere out there my dearest friends are dropping from exhaustion or being knocked to the ground.” (paragraph 5 pg 55)
“Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. They’re allowed to take only a knapsack and a little cash with them, and even then, they’re robbed of these possessions on the way. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated.”This shown how that the ‘’outside world’’ is so much dangerous because of the terrible holocaust they German’s are causing. Honestly I think Anne’s family is good enough to listen out the dangers coming for them because being isolated at this moment, is the safest. “Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return from shopping to find their houses sealed, their families gone. The Christians in Holland are also living in fear because their sons are being sent to Germany. Everyone is scared. Every night hundreds of planes pass over Holland on their way to German cities, to sow their bombs on German soil.” Also again this detachment from the world outside of the Annex is greatly safe, not too safe, but safe enough to live. Anne sees how this isolation has contributed to their life and how they survived most of it. Really I isolate myself from my family fighting so I don’t get involved in the brutal yelling, but this war is far worse. “Our freedom was severely restricted by a series of anti-Jewish decrees: Jews were required to wear a yellow star; Jews were required to turn in their bicycles; Jews were forbidden to use streetcars; Jews were forbidden to ride in cars, even their own; Jews were required to do their shopping between 3 and 5
Have you ever thought about having to go into hiding at such a young age? Anne Frank has been just 13 years old when she and her family went into hiding to avoid being sent to a camp by the Nazis. During the two years she spent living in an attic in the Secret Annex, she kept a diary, in which she called "Kitty". After the war, Anne's father, the only family member to survive the concentration camp the family was eventually sent to, chose to publish the diary that Anne had written through the years when her family was in hiding. She made the statement, "In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart." Anne felt this way even during the times that she has been through. I believe that Anne was hopeful, powerful, and strong willed.
This shows how a year in hiding and constantly having the fear of being caught makes Mrs. Frank tired of waiting for liberation to come and also makes her want to give up. On page 17 line 3, of The Diary of Anne Frank Anne says, “It’s the silence that frightens me the most. Everytime I hear a creak in the house, a step on the street, I’m sure they’re coming for us. I wander from room to room, feeling like a songbird whose wings have been ripped off and keeps hurling itself against the bars of its cage… Let me out” (Goodrich & Hackett). This quote shows how the fear of being caught while in hiding makes Anne paranoid and makes her feel helpless and stuck in the Annex because there’s no way for her to leave without losing her life.
When you were a kid, you wanted to grow up, but then you found out it was hard to go from kid to adult. That was the case for a young girl named Anne Frank, she had to go through the holocaust, which made it harder for her to grow up. In the Diary of Anne Frank written by Anne Frank it tells you why it was hard for Anne to transition from a kid to an adult for the past, now, and maybe future.
As they continue to live in hiding, they realize that they had taken many things for granted and greatly miss their lives before the Nazis came. One’s sorrow comes after one realizes that what they had previously taken for granted is gone. First, Anne demonstrates sadness through her diary entries, actions, words, and fate. When Anne is writing in her diary during Act II, Scene I of the drama, she talks about how she is longing for friends to talk with and how much she misses her life before
