Diary Of Anne Frank Direct Characterization

The first part of the diary starts with her being a regular girl having fun and turns into a girl going into hiding with seven other people. In addition, she has to deal with relation problems with her mom, sister, and the people she is in hiding with. The problems begin when eight people are confined in a small area and everybody begins to irritate and annoy one another. Anne was especially concerned with herself and with her attitude towards the others in the group. She's mainly concerned with her mother who always treats her like baby. Mr. Frank tires to ease the quarrels between them by telling Anne to help out more around the house, but Anne stubbornly declines preferring to concentrate more on her studies. She especially gets plenty of confrontations with Mrs. Van Daan who thinks she is a spoiled little girl. Mrs. Van Daan constantly tells Anne’s father, “ If Anne were my daughter.” Anne’s respond to this in her diary was, “Thank heavens I’m not!” Of course

In the second entry of Anne Frank's diary, Margot got a call-up from the SS, which forced the Franks to go into hiding in fear of their future. After Otto Frank came home, "Margot and I started packing our most important belongings into a schoolbag" (Frank para. 15). Margot and Anne went packing after their Father told them they were going into hiding. This was the same day that Margot got called-up.

Mr. and Mrs. van Daan and their son Peter (who is a few years older than Anne) are also in hiding with the Franks. Anne’s adolescence is spent hidden from the outside world. She’s cooped up in tiny rooms, tiptoeing around during the day. After almost 2 years in hiding they are discovered and deported to concentration camps. Anne’s father, Otto Frank, is the only one of the eight people to survive. After her death Anne becomes world famous because of the diary she wrote while in hiding. Miep Gies is a Dutch woman who assists the annex residents with food, clothing, books, and companionship. She cheerfully assists them with the things they need and pitches in to give them holidays. Along with Elli, she retrieves and saves Anne's diary from the floor after the annex residents are arrested (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miep_Gies). Miep Gies and her husband took action and helped their Jewish friends. This situation affected their daily lives in many different ways. The fact that Miep and her husband helped the Jews, knowing that they

The Holocaust was a time of war where many families were separated from one another and many had died from this tragic event. Although, from the book “Diary of Anne Frank” a Jewish girl named Anne that had been affected by the Holocaust had said, “In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.” Even though Anne and her family faced many hardships during the Holocaust Anne still saw the good in it all, and after reading the book I have to agree with Anne’s quote. One of the main reasons of why I am siding with Anne is because of Peter’s actions throughout the book and how his actions rapidly changed once Anne showed kindness to him. However, I can see how some people may disagree with Anne’s quote throughout Mr. Van Daan’s horrible actions throughout the book.

In the story ‘The Diary of Anne Frank’ there are many characters that are dynamic or static, but especially the character Peter Van Daan has changed throughout the story. In the beginning of the story, Peter is presented as a awkward, boring, and mature person, but later on in the story Peter's personalities change to a comfortable, fun, but a mature person still.

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 born on June 12, 1929, and was 12 or 13 when Hitler raided Amsterdam and her family had to go into hiding. Anne’s family along with another Jewish family were covering for two years in a “Secret Annex” in the back of Frank’s father’s company building. Grievously, someone noted the German police and they were seized on August 4, 1944 and sent to a concentration camp. There her father was disconnected from the rest of the family. Soon her mother became sick and died. A few months after their mom passed Anne and her sister Margot both had typhus. Margot passed away in February and Anne followed shortly thereafter in March 1945. Their father, Otto was the only member of their family to survive the Holocaust. She was only 15 years old when she died. To me it is really sad that a young innocent girl’s life was ripped short because she was a Jew. She never had a chance to have a childhood of liberty like she would have had today.

Humans behave differently in various situations in either good or bad ways. People often make mistakes all the time, and many people intentionally do something bad. However, I believe everyone has good intentions and that it’s in our nature to be good on instinct. This has been proven throughout our daily lives and throughout history. First, in The Diary of Anne Frank, by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, Miep and Mr. Kraler put themselves in danger for the sake of the Franks, Van Daans, and Mr. Dussel. Also, Anne Frank refused to think that people were generally evil and tried to make everyone see the goodness in people, in spite of the dire situation they were in. Finally, mot in relation to the Holocaust, our nation has come to the aid of the Philippines after the disastrous typhoon that put them in a very vulnerable state. These examples show that, no matter how horrible things seem, there are people willing to help and encourage at a moment’s notice.

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

When reading, “ The Diary of Anne Frank, “ by Frances Goodrich, watching, “ One Survivor Remembers, “ by Korg Antholis, and reading, “ Nazi Hunters, “ by Neal Bascomb, I noticed in both the books and the documentary, all the parents from the two books and the documentary, wanted their children to have absolute safety and comfort. The time where both books and the documentary take place between the time of, world war two, also known as the time between, September 1, 1939 – September 2, 1945. All parents wanted to keep their children safe during the war, so that the children can live their future lives in peace and start their own family. The determination of all the characters is expressed through their care for their children. In my first event, from, “ The Diary of Anne Frank, “ by Frances Goodrich, the families are sleeping and Mrs. Frank gets out of her bed to check up on the noise that she heard coming from the kitchen. When, Mrs. Frank arrives in the kitchen, she finds Mr. Vaan Daan, the husband of Mrs. Van Daan, and father to Peter Vaan Daan, who are living in the secret annex with the Franks, stealing food from the food safe. When, Mrs. Frank catches Mr. Vaan Daan stealing the food, everyone awakes from their sleep to go check on the yelling from the kitchen. After, arguing with Mr. Vaan Daan, Mrs. Frank decides the Vaan Daans must leave the annex. But, Mrs. Frank promised to keep all the children safe, including Peter Vaan Daan. ‘ He’ll stay of course, when I mean keep the children safe I mean Peter too, ‘ says Mrs. Frank (535). From reading the quote, I can infer Mrs. Frank wanted complete safe and security for the children, even if it means keeping Peter safe too. What I can infer from this quote is Mrs. Frank will not stop to keep the children safe. In my opinion, this shows courage because usually, Mrs. Frank is not as open during conversations or talking with other people. But, Mrs. Frank shows her full side when speaking in the argument, releasing her thoughts and opinions on the situation. For my second event, Gerda, a little girl, is living in Poland during the Nazi invasion of Poland. Gerda and her mother were discovered and had to be sent off to German Death Camps. A Nazi officer walks over

comparison I can think of is when I moved to middle school. I was the

Sadly Anne and her family are arrested and are sent to Auschwitz, a concentration camp where she would later die. While in hiding, the Franks and the Van Daans, who were also in hiding with them,
