Anne Frank Wrote about the Good Underneath

The story of Anne Frank is probably one of the most recognized and well known in the world. The experiences she and her family suffered through as they hid from the Nazis during the Holocaust. Their story is well documented in Anne’s own words through her diary. She revealed the horror and difficulties her family faced as they hid in an attic (the annex) for two years from the Nazis. Somehow, despite starvation, hours of total silence, and being separated from the outside world, she maintained a belief that man was still capable of humanity. In her diary, she stated, “In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.” How is it possible for someone who endured what she endured to still have kindness, optimism, and hope?

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.

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?

Frank when she was in a time of darkness and betrayal. Anne Frank was a Jewish girl that was in hiding during the holocaust. Some people do not believe that despite everything there is good in a person’s heart. I firmly believe that despite everything people are good at heart.

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

in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can’t build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death. I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever approaching thunder, which will destroy us too, I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquillity will return again.” -Anne Frank

What do you think your life would have been like if you were in the Holocaust?It may seem like a terrible situation, but one girl ,Anne Frank, seemed to always find the good in people. The last words in her diary were “In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.” These last famous words of Anne Frank let the world know that know matter what happens ,there is always good in people. Anne’s family faced many problems and fears in the annex. From, the diary, Anne left ,I agree with Anne’ quote. I am siding with Anne because Mr.Frank was selfless, trusting, generous, and willing. Mr.Frank cared and thought for other people. He is described by Anne’s quote even if he did go through some

“In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.” (Anne Frank, 237). I’m sorry to say I do not agree with her statement, despite its overwhelming optimism. I believe that, like most things in life, “good” and “bad” are all subjective to perspective. For example, the people of Nazi Germany were told that the Jewish at the time were the source of all of the economic and political turmoil that they experienced after WW1. That was the only information that they knew, which was provided by the fascist government. While the government's higher ups are, indeed evil, the citizens and people of Germany could only gather their views and morals from this info. But sometimes people form different opinions for different, more primal, reasons.

Final 1: Overall Anne Frank was right when she said “ “In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.”

The Holocaust was a very tragic time in history when millions of jews lost their lives just because of their religion. However this one girl named Anne Frank who was 13 years old when she had to go into hiding, thought and said this “In spite of everything,I still believe people are really good at heart”. Even through all the ruff paths and arguments Anne and her family went through, she still sees the good in all people. After reading a play based off of her real diary, which she wrote in when in hiding,I agree with Anne’s quote. One of the main reasons I agree with Anne’s quote was due to the actions by Anne’s father, Mr.Frank.

Are people truly “good at heart” or are people just born horrible. Anne Frank thought that people were and I agree with her one hundred percent. You can’t just judge people by what they portray since the Germans were forcing people into their army, therefore the soldiers might have not wanted to harm the Jews. After reading Anne Frank’s diary, watching the movie, reading the play, and researching the Holocaust I agree with Anne Frank’s statement. The reasons that I agree are that the Holocaust won’t last forever, the soldier showed kindness to Otto Frank when they were packing up their belongings, and lastly that the world is experiencing a phase.In conclusion, people really are good at heart.

Anne Frank was a Jewish girl who went into hiding during the Holocaust because the Jews were being sent to concentration camps. When Anne went into hiding she took her diary with her and in it she recorded her story. One line in her diary that stood out was the quote, “Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.” On this issue I agree with Anne. That despite whatever evils a person may have committed, they are good at heart.

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.

Introduction: Do you truly believe that every single person on this earth is good at heart? One young girl, named Anne Frank, wrote this in her diary: “ In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.” She thought everyone was good at heart, but I don’t agree with her claim. Mr. Van Daan is the reason why I don’t agree with Anne. Mr. Van Daan is selfish and has never thought about anyone besides himself.

Anne Frank’s Quotes “In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.” This was detected in one of Anne Frank’s diary entries previous to being directed to the concentration camps. She was persisting in a time of pure apprehension when Adolf Hitler showed up to decree as dictator in Nazi Germany. Though he was being heartless to the Jews, she still concluded that humans were naturally acceptable at heart. How could anyone be so merciful after all that has been executed to her community? “I think the world may be going through a phase, the way I was with mother.” Anne Frank’s accord with her mother, Mrs. Frank, was unbearable. Anne Frank didn’t wish to be corrected entirely. Mrs. Frank just wanted her to be guarded
