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.
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

One thing they have in common is they are all where home schooled. They all believed in the star of David religion. They are all Jewish kids or teens living in the secret annex with other families. They all died differently. However, I think this is where the similarity between the three teenagers ends.
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.
Norman Mailer once stated, "For what does it mean to be a hero? It requires you to be prepared to deal with forces larger than yourself." This quotation means that there are some things that certain people will not be able to face head on. It takes them a while to physically and mentally prepare themselves for what forces lie ahead. This quotation is valid because there are going to be certain things people just can't face or they aren't strong enough to face them. The film, The Fighting Sullivans and the film The Diary of Anne Frank prove the interpretation because both of the films are about a group of people who have to deal with forces that are bigger than themselves. The film The Diary of Anne Frank supports the critical lens about Norman Mailer's quote because they had to go into hiding, hiding from the Germans which in this case were the bigger force. The first
Over time, Anne Frank has matured in her style of her writing by using more advanced vocabulary and subject matter. One example in the beginning of the book where she has not fully matured is when she writes, “The baby ducklings were bitten to death by Father because the chattered too much” (Frank 7). Anne was assigned a paper and did not take it seriously. Her immaturity kicked in, and she decided to make a joke about it. Anne was a chatter box that spoke all of her thoughts out loud but over time, she realized that everyone does not agree with her opinions and decided to keep her thoughts to herself as she said, “I talk more to myself than to the others at mealtimes, which is to be recommended for two reasons. Firstly, because everyone is

Anne is a person who always looks at the better side of things in an situation. Even though they are forced to go into hiding for multiple years, she talks of what she wants to do when they get out.

In the brilliant true story of Anne Frank, We are introduced to many characters with various personalities. But one person in particular compliments Anne’s personality the most. That individual is Peter Van Daan. Anne is widely known for her very talkative, and straightforward personality. She is a drama queen, and stands up for what she believes in. She, in my opinion, is the very definition of an extrovert. Anne Frank is a person whose personality is similar to my own, and I aspire to be similar to her. Anne’s two main attributes the first being, optimistic. In one of her first diary entries, she talks about how children managed to still have fun despite of all the hardships going on around them. She always was smiling and even at the end of her days she was happy in the concentration camp because she got

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
Throughout time, in groups that are created, there are certain roles the members in the groups take over. Whether it be the leader, the peacekeeper, or the scapegoat, each person has a role that--most of the time--contributes to the group. During the Holocaust, the Frank family had to go into hiding and they formed a little group with another family. Each person had a role in the group. Mr. Frank, took over the role as the leader because he was courageous, selfless, and kind.
