Diary Of A Young Girl By Anne Frank

“‘...”positive thinking” is also a soft and fluffy term that is easy to dismiss...it carries the same weight as words like “work ethic” or “persistence”’(Clear). Positive thinking can help you through many tough situations. As victims of the Holocaust, both Anne Frank and Sophie Scholl displayed positive attitudes during their hardships.People can best respond to conflict by staying positive and seeing the brighter part in situations.

“A positive attitude brings strength, energy, motivation, and initiative” (Quotes Guru). Having a positive attitude is the best response to conflict, especially in the time of war. For example, in the stories Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl and Dear Miss Breed: True Stories of the Japanese American Incarceration During World War II and a Librarian Who Made a Difference, both Anne Frank and Miss Breed had a positive attitude for such a horrible situation. In the story Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl Anne tells us, the audience, how her family dealt with the situation that they were in. In Dear Miss Breed: True Stories of the Japanese American Incarceration During World War II and a Librarian Who Made a Difference showed what situations the Japanese Americans had to go through and how horrible their living habits were.

Scientists have begun to realize that positive thinking can not only help during conflicts,but during everyday life. An article from the Huffington Post gives insight into this,”The benefits of positive emotions don’t stop after a few minutes of good feelings subside. In fact, the biggest benefit that positive emotions provide is an enhanced ability to build skills and develop resources for use later in life” (Clear). James Clear (taking insight for notable psychology experts) explains how positivity improves emotion and life quality. He also states that positivity is a useful resource in all social situations as well as

People have been through physical abuse, hardships, and hiding away from others, but they always went through it will a possible positive attitude with the help from family or from friends. The children from the Japanese internment camps to the children and their parents who were hiding, and finally to the children who were sent to concentration camp because they were jewish.

It is very important to stay positive for many different reasons, one of these reasons being that, it could help reassure the other person by giving them hope. For example in, 7 Tips for Resolving Conflicts Quickly and Peacefully, they say, “You could say, ‘You’re absolutely right, it is my fault and here is what I’ll do to fix it.’ Even if you’re NOT wrong, at least give them the benefit of the doubt” (Hopson). This would make the other person feel better and make them think that the argument may come to a close soon. In Deer Mrs. Breed the author says,“In spite of all the difficulties, Louise's positive and patriotic spirit rings true in these final words of her letter: ‘If American soldiers can endure hardships so can we!’ “(Baroletti 413) showing how positive and happy they are despite their situations. The short story also says, “One of the most beautiful scenery was when crossing a bridge which was right above the Colorado River. It is indeed, a beautiful river.” (Baroletti 412), even though they were being drove to an internment camp in the middle of the desert, they still found the beauty in things around them. Staying positive is a key factor in solving

In the play called, “The Diary of Anne Frank” by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, the Van Daan’s son, Peter, cuts off the Star of David on his shirt. Shorty after, Anne begins to cut her star off as well. Once her star was off, Anne says, “It’s funny, I can’t throw mine away. I don’t know why” (Goodrich 709). Peter doesn’t like Anne’s decision, he thinks that she’s out of her mind, so he begins to question it. Peter reacts to this by saying, “You can’t throw . . . ? Something they branded you with . . . ? That they made you wear so they could spit on you?” (Goodrich 709). From his point of view, Peter thinks that the right thing to do is to burn it, after the way they’ve been treated by the Nazis. He sees the star as a symbol of embarrassment

Having a positive outlook during a conflict is an important way to respond. Staying positive will make the situation much better than it actually turns out to be. Anne Frank and Miss Breed are great examples of how to stay positive during tough times.You must focus on cooperation instead of control and aim to set limits with respect, kindness, and firmness in mind.

In 1942 war broke out in Germany. Adolf Hitler, the leader of the Nazi party in Germany, sent out German troops to attach on the Jewish people throughout Europe and conquer many other Europe countries. Many Jews fled Europe or went into hiding. In Amsterdam, a young Jewish girl named Anne Frank went into hiding with her and one other family. Their hiding place was known as the Annex. While in hiding, Anne kept a diary of her observations and experiences. Three different genres of information help describe Anne 's life during the war. Anne Frank Beyond the Diary is a non-fiction text explaining about Anne’s life and influence of her diary. Anne’s diary entries are excerpts from Anne’s actual diary she wrote while in hiding, that was

Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett wrote The Diary of Anne Frank in an attempt to inform the general public since the holocaust of the harsh realities of being a Jewish citizen in this time period. While the play did have comedic aspects to it at certain times, it did however really make the reader think about what life would have been like at this point in time.

This story places place in Germany near Amsterdam, Netherlands,the Anne Frank moved there with her family at the age of four-and-a-half when the Nazi gained control over Germany. Anne Frank was a young girl who was always loved by the boys of her school, but inside she felt like nobody understood her. Anne was always wild and she wanted to be free in life. She went into hiding in July 1942, then the Van Daans and Mr. Dussel also went into hiding in some hidden rooms behind a bookcase in the building where Mr. Frank, Anne’s father worked shortly after the Franks did. In August 1944, Anne kept a diary she had received as a birthday present, and wrote in it regularly. While in the hidden room where the Franks, Van Daans, and Mr.Dussel were living, they fought all the time and Anne felt a long distance with her mother because she thinks her mother doesn't understand her.

Optimism is perhaps the most important quality that a person can possess, without optimism there would be no reason to work for a better life or point in fighting against evil and oppression. In times of adversity it is hope and optimism that leads people to see the light and the end of the tunnel and guides them towards better times. A true optimist believes that the opportunity for growth lies in trials and tribulations. Winston Churchill — Prime Minister of Great Britain during World War two who led the country during some of its darkest hours — captures this idea perfectly when he said “A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist see the opportunity in every difficulty (Churchill).” It is evident that throughout history

The play of “The diary of Anne Frank” by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, it tells a story and the life of Anne Frank and what it was like for her and her family during the Holocaust. The authors Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett focused more on the event of the story. They also focused on how life was after they got caught and had to be taken to concentration camps. They tell how the people felt and what they were going through during the two years of hiding and what it was like at the concentration camps. The authors chose to write more about the event, to show the bravery in Anne and her family, and to really show bad the times really were then.

I am guided by Winston Churchill’s wise words, “A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity, an optimist see the opportunity in every difficulty.” Winston Churchill was the prime minister of Britain during World War II and from the second Churchill was sworn into office he faced many adversities, such as leading England which was on the verge of defeat. However, he would not have accomplished any of these feats unless he had used optimism. Optimism has the power to improve even the worst situations; it is the light at the end of the tunnel that will guide you through your troubles. Last summer I learned the importance of optimism when I went on a very physically demanding kayaking trip in Lake Superior.

The Diary of Anne Frank, is the actual diary of a Jewish girl in world war two. Anne’s story has touched hearts and changed lives, telling the tale of war from the perspective of a innocent child at the first stages of her teens. Not all, but many have read this book as an assignment of some sort, only to come out with information that makes the heart truly heavy. The Diary of Anne Frank illustrates the effects of war in a brutally honest way, especially to the minds of developing humans such as teens.

For example, in “Soul Surfer” Betthany didn’t have a positive attitude in the beginning, but then learned to have a positive attitude. I used this example because it shows that if you don’t have a positive attitude it is hard to overcome adversity. I also used this example because it shows that you can’t be selfish and think about yourself before your family. You should also have a positive attitude because in a “Young Tinkerer builds a Windmill Electrifying a Nation” William had a positive attitude which led him to build windmills to help people out. I used this example because it shows that if you have a positive attitude you can do great things. I also used this example because in the story he didn’t just want to build windmills for his family but for his nation too. In short, if you have a positive attitude you can not only overcome your own adversity but your family's or your nations
