One of the most common states people tend to fall into is depression. Depression is where someone has a low mood in which the emotion they are currently in will likely affect their thoughts and behavior. When someone is in that state, they are getting isolated. This means they are at the part where they are losing focus, as well as becoming stressed out. However, if life becomes worse, there is a high risk they are going to take away their own life. This does not happen to everyone who is in depression, but there are some that will end it all. When an individual is depressed, they often become isolated and as a result are more likely to commit suicide.

After Alan's death, Anne isolated herself. "'Anne's [mother] turned everyone out, and she's alone there now. Mother wanted to stay, but Anne is beside herself and hysterical. She made them go. They were afraid she'd be worse if they insisted on staying.'" According to this quote, Anne made people, especially her mother go and leave her alone. This is because of the incident that happened before. It is likely she preferred to be left alone and wished Alan, her husband, was here. However, this was her decision to marry Alan in the meantime. "'You do think she means us? After all, it is possible that Alan may have had some bitter quarrel of his own that we know nothing about,' Michael suggested." This is possibly be one of the main reasons why Alan died. He could've have someone shot him, in which happened to be Uncle Axel. However, Anne did not realize any of this, and died without anything else she would've know. Speaking of death, Anne did not appeared in the next few chapters after chapter ten. This is due to her being …show more content…
Anne felt depressed for a while during chapter ten, so she hanged herself with a beam. The rest of the group found her in her house. "With one of the logs from the woodpile they pushed in a window, and then climbed inside. They found Anne upstairs in her bedroom, hanging from a beam." (Pg. 101) The group was unable to save her due to their lack of realization about Anne committing suicide. It is most likely someone that will end it all, and Anne is one of them. She killed herself because of Alan, the guy she loved. However, his death is one of the reasons why she died. Unfortunately, no motive was found, only confirmed on who kill him was Uncle Axel because he was the first to suggest this incident. Not only that, Alan knew about the groups telepath abilities, in which Anne told him about. This is likely Anne's fault because she chose to snake to her husband. ''It was the only thing to do, Davie. Of course I knew Anne would reckon it was one of you that had done it. But she couldn't denounce you without giving herself away and her sister, too. There was a risk there, but I had to take it." (Pg. 118) The story would completely change, but Anne still may commit suicide even if Alan didn't die, but instead, all of her members would've died as well if it weren't for Uncle Axel shooting Alan. Even after isolation, Anne would still commit
Anne was curious about why murders, lynching and mysterious fires were taking place in and around her community. Every time she went to her mother for advice or discussion on race relations, she was immediately redirected to a subject less controversial. If Anne wanted to figure any of these issues out, she was going to have to do it on her own.
Anne explained that she was born in a yellow house in Bolingbroke, Nova Scotia in March. Her father’s name was Walter Shirley and her mother was Bertha Shirley. Both Water and Bertha Shirley were teachers at the Bolingbroke High School. However, Berth gave up her profession when she married Walter. Unfortunately, when Anne was only three months old, her mother succumbed to a severe fever which claimed Bertha’s life. Afterwards, four days from the death of Bertha, Walter also died from the same disease. The Shirleys do not have any relatives, so Anne was put in the care of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas until she was eight years old. However, it seems to be the fate of Anne to be orphaned and abandoned by the people she loves. This is because, Mr. Thomas died by falling under a train, consequently, Mrs. Thomas cannot afford to look after Anne solely by herself because she has her four own children that required utmost care. Then, Anne Shirley lived with Mrs. Hammond for a period of two years until the latter died. That was the time when Anne Shirley was brought to the Hopetown Asylum where she spent four months until the she was mistakenly given to the Cuthbert siblings. Anne also said that she enjoyed reading several literary pieces while in the asylum. This includes The Battle of Hohenlinded, Bingen on the Rhine, The Seasons, Edinburgh after Flodden, and the Lady of the
There are many different ways Anne's attitude affected everyone in that attic. She was always cheerful and upbeat. She proves this saying "You know the way I'm going to think of it here? I'm going to think of it as a boarding house. A very peculiar summer boarding house." The way Anne talks about the attic proves that she can find the silver lining in everything. She might not be the happiest girl in the world, but she will try her hardest to prove to others that she is. Anne knows she may spend a long time in this place. She decides to look at the bright side of her situation and tries to make everything better than it actually is. Everybody really needed Anne around to make their situation less stressful and to have a little fun. Anne was a very popular girl at her old school. She had many friends and preoccupations but now she had a few rooms to go in for what would turn out to be two whole years. So to go through this much of a change and still have a wonderful attitude is amazing. She had her rights stripped from her as a little girl and was still a gleeful and

Anne and Liesel both had to adapt to a new home and living with new people. Anne's family left their home, which contained many loving memories for all them, and moved into the attic of her dad's business building. In the beginning it was just Anne's father, mother, sister
Anne had a completely different relationship between her mother and father. She disliked her mother very much. They were not close at all. She doesn’t love her. Her mother wants her to be more like her sister, Margot.
I feel bad for Anne, especially with her having to live in a room with a stranger without privacy. I sometimes start to believe she can not stand me as a mother or even a person. I wish me and her would get along like a regular mother and
The story also displays moments where the young characters in the story begins to distrust one another, because of the tension their society creates as time goes by. When Anne first tells her friends that she is to marry Alan (91) and everyone tells her it is a bad idea, Anne becomes upset and disagrees with how risky marrying a norm such as Alan can be (93). Once Anne realizes that she was not going to gain the support of her friends, she secludes her mind from the others, and stops talking to them (94). From then on, Anne cuts contact telepathically, and goes off to live with Alan. During the same situation, David learns that Anne’s new spouse-to-be is, in fact, Alan Ervin, the same boy six years ago, that caused Sophie to be banished (44).
One of Anne’s traits is that she is headstrong. She always thought that she was right, even if she was actually wrong. She was very stubborn about changing her opinions, which made her a difficult child. The one person who she butt heads with most had frequently been her mother, Edith. She and her mother had personalities that were completely opposite from each other, causing them to argue constantly. Edith
Anne’s diary starts off when she is 13 but ends shortly two years later when she dies. Before the whole war situation, Anne talked about her normal life. She talked about her friends, crushes, and school. But her father decides to move in hope of finding hiding from prosecution, so they move to the Netherlands. They are in hiding with another family, the van Daans and an associate, Mr. Dussel. Mr. Ottos employees helped them out with hiding, supplying them with food, medicine and information about whats going on. Anne and Peter van Daan become very close. Anne’s father does not approve of this new relationship. Anne goes through an incredible process of becoming a woman, questioning humanity, and in detail, her own identity. Being born a Jew,
During her stay in the Annex Anne had to undergo an immense amount of stress and pain brought with the conditions of the Annex. Her diary was a place where Anne could release all her thoughts about the ongoing struggles in the Annex e.g. how mad she was at her mother, how small the Annex was e.c.t. Later in the story as her relationship with peter develops, sometimes she would go to the attic with peter to talk about how she felt and what’s on her mind. Peter voluntarily also let out his feelings on how he was coping, and how he felt. Along with that, homework, studying, sleeping and relaxing are also techniques Anne used to help her cope with the stresses of their
During Annes last diary entry she writes, “you’re uncharitable, you look peevish, people dislike you” (Frank 267) This shows how Anne starts to become self doubtful and self conscious. Anne doesn't see the good in herself and Anne needs someone to reassure her, but living in an attic with only eight people did not help her in this situation. No one was going to tell Anne she was going to be alright, the only person that made her feel appreciated was Peter. Anne also wrote that the impact of Hitler's anti-jewish laws made her family anxious and fearful.
ate. Anne was upset that she could not go outside as well as being found and
When reading all of the feelings and events added together, two themes stuck out. One theme is that Anne was lonely. In the inside of her book she stated that “I hope I will be able to confide everything to you, as I have never been able to confide in anyone, and I hope you will be a great source of comfort and support”. This shows that so far in her life she really did not find the right person to open up to and talk about her most personal thoughts. Another theme I found was being completely
