Reading “The Diary of Anne Frank” first made me understand the conditions and struggles the Van Daans and the Franks had to go through. But watching after reading, made it easy to see the character’s life style and the way they act and how the size of the room affected their lives.
Anne Frank, The diary of a young girl showed us to stay positive no matter what the event the happening. Anne Frank was going through one of the worst events in world history in her position at the time, it made it a little worse. Jews were being sent to concentration camps and torched in theme.
Anne Frank by David Colbert is one of the best books about World Was two. It’s a great point of about the difficulties of following the Jewish faith during World War two. The about Anne Frank is about a girl who keeps hope though hardships. She was happy when people were said, and wrote to get away from her fears. Anne frank is a
The Holocaust, a morbid atrocity that made people question humanity, was the cause of millions of deaths. One of those victims of this brutality was Anne Frank, a young Jewish girl who hid from the Nazis along with her family. Although she was merely ordinary, Anne Frank kept a diary which became a significant, historical artifact in the modern world as it details her account of concealing her identity from the outside world. Her story, told in an innocent perspective, allows individuals to reflect the dreadful events of the Holocaust and acknowledge how far we have come since then. Even though she died along with millions of other victims from the Holocaust, her spirit still exists thanks to her articulately written words in her diary which is now considered one of the most famous works of literature. Anne Frank’s legacy still lives on today because her story provides a primary source of a dark period in history, insightful contemplation of humanity, and motivation for people to stand up against unjustified persecution.
Anne Frank utilizes her profound gift of words to create multiple tones and moods within her diary. As well as a multitude of metaphors and similes that help depict her emotions and circumstances. An instance of this is shown when Anne describes how it is living in hiding, “ I see the eight of us in the Annex as if we were a patch of blue sky surrounded by menacing black clouds...We’re surrounded by darkness and danger, and in our desperate search for a way out we keep bumping into each other.” (Frank 145). Within this passage, Anne’s use of metaphors is brought to reality. In addition, it is noted that Anne also uses many descriptive words that succeed in illustrating the dark mood she was hoping to portray. Given these points, we can observe
The diary is not divided into chapters but instead has dates above the beginning of each diary entry: “Wednesday, 10 March, 1943” (68). There are several pictures provided at the beginning of the book for readers to visualize Anne’s diary entries much easily. There are pictures of Anne in her teen years, her diary entries that show how much her hand writing changed over time, it changed from printed to cursive, and pictures of the “Secret Annexe” which was where she and her family had been in hiding for over 2 years. Frank did not keep the tone of her writing consistent but rather had alternated tones in her entries depending on her mood and this makes the readers feel more close to Frank since they can experience and feel what she felt and expressed in her diary. The layout and format that was used allows the readers to become closer to the
Readers are able to actually picture how her life was and able to feel the emotions she portrayed at certain times. The only problem I think with this being an autobiography is that some parts of the novel may be a little biased based on her beliefs because these are based off of her beliefs. In my opinion, whoever is reading Anne’s book can either really enjoy it, or really despise it. This is a very controversial reading because it shows how the beliefs of many people can cause problems and can cause the death of many people. People that read it today can possibly still get offended by this reading, especially if they believe strongly the opposite of what Anne
To a large extent, Anne Frank’s diary explains what life was like for Jewish families during the second world war.
This book is very good for details, events, places, names, stories, etc. It shows the reality behind all the events that took place during the holocaust. He made sure to describe as much as he could in as much detail as possible. I have to say that this book deals greatly in imagery and lets the reader keep an image in their head. This book is truly unlike any other because it shows emotions and how people felt about the events that took place, it also shows how unstable the living conditions were and how horribly they were treated. This is all very tragic to
Especially how detailed her diary was, it gave readers a vivid description of what it would be like to live in that time period. As for Anne, I don’t know if being remembered after your death is worth dying such a miserable death. I feel like dying from natural causes would have been better for Anne than being tortured and starved to death.
In the autobiography The Diary of Anne Frank by Anne Frank, was written during a chaotic time period in history. Anne, being a Jewish girl of a family of four, tells through diary entries how it was like for her during WWII. She lived in Holland, which put her along with her family at a risk of being taken to the concentration camps. Being faced with this problem caused her family to go to the extend of hiding for years in order to survive. They all had to adapt to a new way of living, one where they had no contact with the rest of civilization. Although this was a completely new lifestyle, it was worth it since the outcome will be more years of being alive.

Her thoughts and her style of writing were affected by the ordeal that she went through. When she first obtained her diary, she wrote about her life in Amsterdam and her “boyfriend” Harry Goldberg. “It’s easy to see that Harry is in love with me, rather fun for a change” (Frank 7/3/42). As time passed by, she started to write about more mature concepts, such as the war. “Every night hundreds of planes pass over Holland on their way to German cities, to sow their bombs on German soil… As for us, we’re quite fortunate. Luckier than millions of people… We’re so selfish that we talk about "after the war" and look forward to new clothes and shoes when actually we should be saving every penny to help others when the war is over, to salvage whatever we can” (Frank 1/13/41). Another thing that changed was her writing style. Before, she wrote in a simple manner. “Now I must stop. Bye-bye, we’re going to be great pals!” (Franks 6/14/42). But, gradually, she began to write in a more complex manner. “It’s difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality” (Frank 7/15/44). Although, Anne Frank remained the same innocent girl she was at the beginning of the diary, she matured in tremendous ways throughout her experiences and this maturity was reflected through her
