The Nazis have taken over. Anne and her family decide to go into hiding after Anne’s sister Margot is called into a work camp. The family decides to hide in an attic apartment behind Anne’s father’s business. Anne is an inquisitive, smart, and extroverted young girl living in a traumatic time period. These various traits that help her cope with her situation. In the first place, Anne is inquisitive. She loves to ask questions and answer them. Her questions are mainly based towards Peter. Anne had never met Peter before they went into hiding, so, Anne was full of questions. Anne asked Peter about his cat, Mouschi, where he went to school, his friends, and so on. Similarly, when the parents are talking, Anne loves to eavesdrop and jump into their discussion. The parents eventually get annoyed since they have no privacy in the small warehouse. Lastly, Anne is always asking personal questions as …show more content…
Since her family is in hiding, Anne can not attend school. Her dad gives her and her sister lessons for the day to complete. Anne is already passing her dad in algebra at the age of 13. As her dad was grading her math, he said “ I’ll have to make a confession. Up until now I’ve managed to stay ahead of you in algebra. Today you caught up with me. We’ll have to leave it to Margot to correct.” Similarly, she was excelling in history and in speaking Latin. Therefore, her literacy skills were beyond her age compared to today’s world. Anne’s mother was feeling her forehead and felt it was quite hot. Anne’s mother asked “Let me see your tongue.” Anne replies”This perfectly absurd!” Most children her age today would say “this is ridiculous or this is dumb.” Anne is a bit childish at times, but when it came to certain discussions and topics, her literacy is like an
In addition, Anne says she was, “Nervous and irritable.” and that her mother made it no better. Also, Anne states that her mother
At first, Anne and Peter never spoke to each other. But during Act II scene 1, they warm up to each other and become friends. On page 265, Peter had told Anne, “Well, anytime you want to let off steam, you can come into my room.” Peter and Anne now truly care for each other. In Scene 2, it’s shown that Anne visits Peter’s room often. Mrs Frank and Mrs Van Daan do not like this change very much, because, as stated on pg. 268, Anne believes that they’re awful and “treating [them] as if [they] haven’t left the nursery.”
At this point, Anne found herself searching for answers. Not only about racial tensions but about her developing body. She was entering a new phase in her life, where
Once a bright happy go talkative girl, into an attitude silent woman. Anne was fine in the beginning, meeting her new house members and getting used to the quite. However after some time she started being mean to her mother and having night terrors, she had no one. Soon however she got more used to peter, closer, she trusted him. They started hanging out more and becoming very close.
Anne likes to speak her mind and blurt out things a lot, in the book Marilla gets after Anne for talking too much, “For pity's sake hold
After months of disagreement, Anne and her mother finally start to get along. Anne becomes more sympathetic to her mother, and realizes that some of her past entries about her mother were very cruel and hotheaded. Now, Anne does her best to care for her mother and also keep her mouth shut at times. She tries not to take things as serious, as well. She does her best to mature when it comes to her and her mother’s relationship.
After hearing her father's case Anne takes no time to decide that she completely believes her father when he says he is an innocent man who did not hurt anyone. She demonstrates loyalty to her father, as well as her initial values of keeping family first when she responds “I know him, he raised me” when questioned about whether she truly
Anne matures throughout the course of her diary entries, moving from detailed accounts of basic activities to deeper, more profound thoughts about humanity and her own personal nature. “I know what I want, I have a goal, an opinion, I have a religion and love. Let me be myself and then I am satisfied. I know that I’m a woman, a woman with inward strength and plenty of courage.” This shows that Anne matures through the course of her diary, she considers herself as a woman rather than a young girl and sets goals for herself that she wants to achieve. Anne becomes more optimistic even after she feels misunderstood by everyone and feels completely alone.
In the book, ‘’ The diary of Anne Frank’’, the main character, Anne is shown to have many traits, may it be physical or not. The traits she’s obtained is extremely similar to those of most children her age, believe it or not. So it’s my job, to learn of these traits and ‘’compare and contrast’’ them with my own, for science…. It’s shown in the diary that Anne is an introvert, deciding to hide her feelings, and pour them into her diary afterwards, from being an introvert birthed another trait, being judgmental. Talking about other people behind their backs, like she did with Peter, makes her seem like a real sassy girl, but for other people she seems like a strange girl, doing things that women normally don’t do, such as, ‘’BEING
8: Anne’s friendship with Peter has its ups and downs. Clearly she is projecting her old relationship with Peter Wessel onto the Peter Van Daan she has to live with in the Secret Annex, however there are moments she has with him that are completely their own. A particularly amusing scene is when Peter is carrying a large of beans in a bag up the stairs and the bag splits. Anne, who is standing at the bottom of the stairs, is up to her ankles in beans. Another great moment would be when Anne was wearing one of Peter’s suits and Peter was wearing one of Anne’s dresses as a joke.
My class recently watched a movie and also read a play on the Diary of Anne Frank. In the beginning, we meet the main character, Anne. Anne can be a bit crazy and can get stuck up in her own world. She also believes that she was born to be with a guy. Towards the middle, we see Anne’s family move to the Secret Annex to hide from the Nazis.
Peter's going on sixteen, a shy, awkward boy whose company won't amount to much.” (Frank 165). Anne thought of Peter as a let down. Because of his “lone wolf” personality that greatly differs from Anne bold personality, they don't seem like a good fit; but later they becomes closer. After bonding over books, Anne goes on to state, “Kitty, I sound like someone who's in love and can talk about nothing but her dearest darling. And Peter is a darling.” (Frank 165). Anne's use of the word darling shows how fond she's become of Peter. They read together and talk about serious topics, that not even the adults care to think about. Although Anne has grown and changed through the duration of the novel, she still remains the same in one way.
Throughout her time of hiding, Anne had a diary where she could express her thoughts and feelings about the situation. She wrote down what was happening, how she feels about what's happening, and her opinions on the people she is living with. Her opinion of her mother changed as they were there. For what I can tell before hiding, Anne loved and cared for her mother as much as anyone else in her family. As time went on, her mother was unbearable to Anne. Anne wrote, "Mother is unbearable. She insists on treating me like a baby." Anne says this because she believes that she is able to
In the beginning, Anne was a very outgoing, happy girl. She was very immature and tried looking
Anne meets Peter and Anne is already asking him a ton of questions about his school and his cat. If that were me, it would take me awhile to even try to do that. It's just not something I would normally do. Another example of Anne being talkative is in Act one, scene when Anne started talking to Dussel. Those are my reasons for why Anne is talkative.
