Essay On Anne Frank

When Anne first arrives at the annexe, she’s open to others and tells her family what she’s been thinking about. At the beginning of the book Anne says “I went upstairs and visited the Van Daans. I do so occasionally to have a chat”(Frank, pg.29). This is an example of her being open to others because she’s reaching out to the Van Daans to get to know them better. Anne was also not very fond of Mrs. Van Daan. She thought of her as rude and insulting and told her family what she thought about her. An example is when she says “I get nothing but blow ups from her for my continuous chatter. She is always pestering us in some way or another”(Frank, pg.27). The next paragraph goes deeper into the

“It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.” (Anne Frank) Anne Frank was one of the many children who fell victim to the Holocaust during the World War II. Anne’s story is nothing short of a tragedy; she died at the early age of fifteen from Typhus while being held by the Nazi Regime, in the concentration camp Bergen-Belsen. Before dying, Anne and her family went into hiding and lived secretly in her father's office building in the Netherlands. While living in the “Annex,” a secret hiding place, she developed many interests such as reading and writing. Anne is famous because she is one of the best-known victims of the Holocaust, her story has been shared with millions in a publication of her diary, and through her writing’s she introduces many people to the massacre and its horror.

Though there were many acts of kindness the one that caught my eye is after Anne had a nightmare and is talking to Mr. Frank. On pg. 65 Anne and Mr. Frank is talking:

Jews have perished because of their beliefs since the beginning of time but never have so many Jews been persecuted worldwide as they were in World War II. Anne Frank’s diary reaches a place within all of our hearts because it reminds us how easily the innocents can suffer. Sometimes we may choose to close our eyes or look the other way when unjustifiable things happen in our society and Anne’s tale reminds us that ignorance, in part, claimed her life. Sadly, her story is but one of many of those who died in the Holocaust and as with other Jews, her fate was determined by the country she lived in, her sex and her age.

“In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart,”, Anne says in lines 1928-1931. You’re probably mentally conceiving, how could anyone still believe that all people are civil? It’s quite simple, Anne was an exceptional puerile girl, thirteen to be precise, at the time she was driven into obnubilating. She left a place where she could run and play and make as much noise as possible, she just wanted to do that again. Another reason is, she was highly optimistic. When reading the play you learn quite expeditiously that Anne is genuinely ebullient. She was the type of gal who could never sit “buttoned up”, you could say.She was always endeavoring to find the effulgent sides to her situations. She was always trying

In her diary, Anne Frank famously wrote, “In spite of everything, I still believe people are good at heart.” She was inspired to say this by the people who helped her, her positivity that showed, and everyone in the secret annex. Anne Frank and all of the other Jews were forced to go to concentration camps of go into hiding due to Hitler who was anti semitic. While in the annex, she kept a diary and after she was killed in the concentration camps, later on, this diary was published. After that, a play was made from her diary that was called The Diary of Anne Frank. Consequently, people were exposed to the heartbreaking story of Anne Frank, her family, and her friends. The play really showed the emotions of the characters and

Anne Frank was a young girl who lived during the holocaust who lived during Hitler’s reign in Amsterdam. Only one problem: She was Jewish. In July of 1942, Margot Frank was called to report to a concentration camp. The Franks were forced into hiding in an annex behind Mr. Frank’s business. The Franks, along with the Van Pels and Mr. Pfeffer, hid in the annex for about two years. During her time in hiding, Anne confided in a diary. In her diary, she wrote “Despite everything, I believe people are really good at heart.” I agree with Anne. In my opinion, everyone is good at heart; they just show it in different ways. People do what they think is right. Even though there is evil in the world, I believe that deep down, everyone is good at heart.

On July 6th, 1942 Anne Frank and her family went into hiding with the Van Daans due to unsafe conditions for Jewish people. The Natzi’s had invaded Holland, where they had recently moved. Many Jewish people lost their lives due to his. Despite all of this, Anne still thought and said, “In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.” Throughout all the troubles and difficulties they went through, Anne could still see the good in everyone. After reading a play based on Anne’s diary, I agree with her. I agree with Anne because of Miep’s actions. Miep helped the people in hiding, even though she didn't have any obligation to. Not only that, but she also treated themt and used her personal food rations to do so. On the other hand, I can see why people would disagree with Anne and me due to Mr. Van Daan’s mean actions and dishonesty.

As for Anne Frank, a young girl recognized everyday for her hopeful view on life as well as the Holocaust itself, profoundly conveyed heroism. In the play, The Dairy of Anne Frank, Anne continued to reveal her spunky, but buoyant attitude through several different occurrences. Anne allowed a positive vibe while hiding away specifically when surprising everyone with gifts on Hanukkah. When Mrs. Frank tells Margot that having everyone there and alive is present enough Anne states, “No it isn’t. I’ve got something . . .” “…Presents!”(Act II, Scene 5, Lines 2430-2441). This shows that even through these gory events, she still has a way to find the good. Anne’s positive and heartfelt attitude also shows when she had said, “…I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are really good at heart” (Act II, Scene 4, Lines 1758-1760). Anne leaves such an amazing outlook on the world that many people cannot do. Some may believe Anne’s rambunctious and obstinate attitude while hiding away really takes away from her being a heroic figure, but being at such a young age and seeing only the good in humanity definitely deserves an applause. Although Anne’s adolescence is seen quite a bit, there is also an insane amount of maturity within her as well.

Anne Frank was a Jewish girl who went into hiding during the Holocaust because the Jews were being sent to concentration camps. When Anne went into hiding she took her diary with her and in it she recorded her story. One line in her diary that stood out was the quote, “Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.” On this issue I agree with Anne. That despite whatever evils a person may have committed, they are good at heart.

It was one of the many saddest events that occurred in the history of the world. In the following paragraphs you will be reading a summary or a “movie review”, what ever might call it, about Anne Frank. At the end of the review I will write about my opinion to the movie.

Anne Frank is an important girl, she has a famous quote that states "In spite of everything, I still believe that people are good at heart." this quote has lots of background information behind it. This quote is very touching and can teach us all a great lesson. Three examples behind this quote might show that, Anne believes in people, also how she thinks positively, and lastly it shows that she tries to live a great life even when she is sad or down. Anne Frank says very strong words and speaks the truth when writing.

“We’ve all done things we are ashamed of...Stop it now! Let's all be happy.” Pg. 506. This quote shows that they are trying to be positive. They are trying to be positive and look on the bright side of things.This shows the people are truly good at heart because they are trying to get each other to be positive and try to be optimistic. Mr Frank: “It seems strange to say this, as if anyone could be happy in a concentration camp. But Anne was happy in the camp in Holland where they first took us. After two years of being locked up . . . she could be out . . . in the fresh air she loved.” pg. 77. Anne was seeing the good in the really bad situation that she was in at the time. This shows how people are really good at heart because she is trying to reassure herself and others that everything will work out and be ok in the end. Anne: I think the world is going through a phase, the way I was with Mother. It’ll pass, maybe not for hundreds of years, but someday . . . “ Despite everything that is happening Anne still believes that it will be over soon and that everything will be ok. This shows how people are good at heart because she is being positive and having

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

Near the end of the play, Mr. Van Daan gets up in the middle of the night and sneaks out into the kitchen of the Secret Annex. He got bread out of the cupboard and began to eat it, thinking nobody would notice. The group in the Secret Annex thought they had rats. So, that night Mrs. Frank got out of bed and went into the kitchen. There sat Mr. Van Daan, munching away at the little bread they had left. She began screaming and yelling, and she told Mr. Van Daan to get out. Mr. Frank was astonished. Mrs. Frank told the Van Daan’s that they could stay until the next morning, but she eventually let them stay and didn’t force the family to leave. This supports Anne’s quote,”In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart,” because Mrs. Frank understood their place in society, being of Jewish religion, and didn’t want anyone to have to suffer in concentration camps.
