Anne’s red hair in the book is supposed to represent insecurities for everybody in general. First, when Ms. Lynde makes a comment about Anne’s hair, saying, “And hair red as carrots!” (Page 64) Anne got enraged and furious, leaving Ms. Lynde disgusted by her actions. Anne knows that her hair isn’t the most common hair color and she feels like it makes her stand out in a bad way although it really doesn’t. She feels that she has to fit in, making her hair very hated by herself, just like other people and how we hate our insecurities. Next, when Gilbert called Anne’s hair carrots, in the text, it said, “She flashed one indignant glance at Gilbert from eyes whose were angry sparkle with swiftly quenched in tears.” (Page 111), meaning that
She has carved a pathway where other young, old, married, or single black women have a direction where they can follow her lead to unimaginable distances.

The events recounted in Anne Frank’s Diary took place during World War 11. By 1933, the strongest party in Germany had gained ultimate power with Hitler under their command. Hitler was Germany’s dictator who spread his gospel of racial hatred through politics. While poverty and unemployment were at an all time high he launched a campaign of anti-Semitism. Hitler’s main target was the Jews, claiming that they were “racially inferior.” He developed an idea of a Master Aryan Race, the need to rid Germany of “inferior people”, such as Jews and Gypsies, and the need to expand Germany’s borders. In doing this, he caused many Jews to abandoned their homes and go into total isolation. The Frank family
Fitting in is always an issue in the world of teenage girls and some girls have better outcomes than others. “Snow White” by Grace Hu is a story about a teenage girl named Mary who is an albino. Mary struggles to be accepted because of her scary white exterior. Also she has low self confidence from being teased by her peers. Mary also only has one true friend that begins to drift apart from her. Another story that deals with the issue of acceptance is the story “Red Dress”. “Red Dress” by Alice Munro is a story about a teenage girl entering her first year of high school. She fights to be accepted and decides to go to the school dance with her one friend Lonnie, despite her terrible clothes put together by her crazy
In the beginning, Anne was a very outgoing, happy girl. She was very immature and tried looking
On Friday, May 19, 1536, Anne Boleyn, former Queen of England, was executed for high treason and adultery, her head severed from her body by an expert swordsman, the only concession given her by her ex-husband King Henry VIII. How, in so short a time, had the woman that Henry had defied the religious tradition of England for, divorcing his wife and changing the history of religion in his country, whom he pursued relentlessly for years, fallen so far, so quickly? To understand one must examine Henry’s desperate need for a male heir, understand the politics of the time, and the personality of Anne Boleyn herself. Anne’s involvement with religion, politics, foreign affairs and fashion are still being seen centuries after her death. Filled
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.
Quote: “Now all of the sudden they were white, and their whiteness made them better than me…everything they owned and everything connected to them was better than what was available to me” (Ch. 3, pg. 34).

Anne Moody faced many issues in her lifetime because she experienced racism her whole life. Moody spent her whole life trying to figure out why white people hated her people so much and as she got older, she wanted answers. Many struggles contributed to Moody’s upbringing such as a troubled family, working at a young age, and her high school and college years.
Anne Hutchinson has long been seen as a strong religious dissenter who paved the way for religious freedom in the strictly Puritan environment of New England. Another interpretation of the controversy surrounding Anne Hutchinson asserts that she was simply a loving wife and mother whose charisma and personal ideas were misconstrued to be a radical religious movement. Since this alleged religious movement was led by a woman, it was quickly dealt with by the Puritan fathers as a real threat. Whatever her motives, she was clearly a great leader in the cause of religious toleration in America and the advancement of women in society. Although Anne Hutchinson is historically documented to have been banished as a religious dissenter, the real
In the book Coming of Age in Mississippi by Anne Moody she was influenced by man things such as her race, gender, socioeconomic status, religion, and education. I think she wrote this book to show people what is was like growing up during the 1940s. How hard her life was during this time period and what is was like being African American. She also wrote it to show the development in her life and how it shaped her for the rest of her life. I think the greatest influence in Moody’s life was her race because when she was little she was always curious about the difference between white people and black people, as she grew up she would become furious when there was violence against black people,
Anne Moody has gone through such an exceptionally eventful life that she was able to transform it into a powerful book, "A Coming of Age in Mississippi." All of Anne's childhood not only prepared her for her involvement in the movement during the 1960's, but also kept her inspired and motivated. Anne Moody sees a lot of ups and downs, which causes her to have depressing set backs from time to time. As told through out the book, describing her first twenty-four-years, her uncertainty is justified, yet overall the book does tell a story of success, found not only in Anne's personal life but also in the country. By understanding that in order for the movement to be a success and for there to be hope in the future some drastic changes must
Anne’s accomplishments in the movement are very indirect. Throughout the entire story Anne shows us a great deal of personal growth. Anne overcame some very tough challenges in the book Coming of Age in Mississippi leading her to become a very strong and independent activist. Although Anne’s efforts did not greatly impact the movement directly, they did have a great impact on her personal growth. Anne dedicated her life after college to being an activist, this helped her grow in many different ways. This essay will talk about how Anne’s efforts affected both the movement and Anne personally.
