Character Analysis Of Anne Frank

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.

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

Olivia uses evidence of when Anne talks about people who are nice to the Jews. For instance, Anne would say that the ferryman and the dental assistant are benevolent. Anne also talked about Hello. Even though there is a lot of chaos going around with discrimination against Jews, Anne brings up Hello, the ferryman and the dental

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)

Anne Frank was a young girl who lived during the holocaust who lived during Hitler’s reign in Amsterdam. Only one problem: She was Jewish. In July of 1942, Margot Frank was called to report to a concentration camp. The Franks were forced into hiding in an annex behind Mr. Frank’s business. The Franks, along with the Van Pels and Mr. Pfeffer, hid in the annex for about two years. During her time in hiding, Anne confided in a diary. In her diary, she wrote “Despite everything, I believe people are really good at heart.” I agree with Anne. In my opinion, everyone is good at heart; they just show it in different ways. People do what they think is right. Even though there is evil in the world, I believe that deep down, everyone is good at heart.

In the text, it states, “Have we all lost faith? All courage? A moment ago we thought they’d come for us. We were sure it was the end. But it wasn’t the end. We’re alive, safe. We thank Thee, oh Lord our God, that in Thy infinite mercy Thou hast again seen fit to spare us. (Goodrich, Hackett, and Frank 580). The Franks and their company still celebrated Hanukkah, or practiced their religion during the Holocaust. This means that they hadn’t given up and were hoping for a miracle. This cheered them up and gave them hope in a bad situation. This also shows that anything can happen if you believe it will because they kept saying they were going to live and they did. Also, in the text, it states, “It’ll be hard, I know. But always remember this, Anneke. There are no walls, there are no bolts, no locks that anyone can put on your mind...As a matter of fact between us Anneke being here for us has a certain advantage to you. For instance, the battle you had with your mother on the subject of overshoes. But now you'll see that now you don’t have to wear the overshoes” (Goodrich, Hackett, and Frank 549). Mr. Frank tells Anne that there are advantages to being locked up. She won’t have to wear the boots she doesn’t like, or practice the piano. He is basically telling her to look on the bright side, or to find good in the

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

Discrimination is now becoming a well-known term around the world; many acknowledge it from the time they came across: sexism, racism, ageism, and the type Anne Frank came across, persecution. Anne Frank was a thirteen-year-old Jewish girl who was hiding from the German Army or the Nazi’s, as they are better recognized back then. Her life story consisted of constantly escaping and being in isolation from those who wanted her dead; it was a difficult time to live in. Anne Frank was attacked because of her differences; Adolf Hitler (leader of the Nazi’s) was killing anyone who was not classified as “pure” or part of the “superior race”.

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.

She even makes a gift for Mr. Van Daan, whom she doesn’t always get along with. In scene 5 of the Diary of Anne Frank by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, the families celebrate Hanukkah. During this scene, they light the menorah as Mr. Frank prays, and when he finishes, Anne says it’s time to open presents and calls everyone to the couch. Before Mr. Van Daan opens his gift, Anne says, “I wanted to write a poem for all of them but I didn’t have time.

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.

In the 1940s an event called the Holocaust took place. Those who were Jewish in heritage or religion were deemed an inferior race, and were sent to persecution camps. This was the kickstart to WWII, and one of the most horrid events in human history. A Jewish girl in hiding named Anne Frank said “ In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.”. Even though a lot of people do awful things everyday, I think that this quote is very true.

“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
