“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.

"The Diary of Anne Frank" tells us a story about how her life as a Jew was drastically changing during the Holocaust and the start of World War II (WWII). She was a very intelligent young woman that had hopes and dreams. Anne was a normal teenager trying to find her way in life. All of that changed when the Nuremburg Race Laws were formed. Her father who was a World War I fighter hid his family and friends in a Secret Annex that was blended in with a normal neighborhood. As she lived for months in the Secret Annex, Frank had written her diary, full of her experiences in the Annex. Everything changed though, when she reached the end of her times in the Annex. Hitler's men had found Anne and her family and friends. This memoir adds in to the

“No one is free, even the birds are chained to the sky.” Bob Dylan said this probably not knowing its profound connection with George Orwell’s novel “1984”, but the as well could be in “1984”. Orwell depicts a totalitarian dystopian world where there is no freedom and citizens are being brainwashed constantly. Without any sense of individual fairness, people work for the party just like the gear wheels in a machine. In order to achieve this, the politicians in “1984” suppress people’s thinking and eliminate their freedom by creating fear through propaganda, strict laws and incessant surveillances.

Thesis: Today I will discuss the young and short life of one of the most well known Jewish victims of the Holocaust. Anne Frank was acknowledged for her quality of writing.

The Diary of Anne Frank is a remarkably moving book about the short life of a young girl and her family. The Holocaust was a horrible time for Jewish people and Anne and her Jewish family’s lives were completely turned upside down as a result. The war resulted in the deaths of countless people, mostly innocent people. Before the invasion on D-day and the end of the war not too long after, the rest of the world didn’t know the real disaster going on over seas. Anne Frank’s once secret diary has introduced the immense suffering and horror that occurred during the Holocaust.

World War Z, by Max Brooks, is often thought of as the gory recount of humanities quarrel with the zombies, however these fictional episodes convey a deeper message about fear. World War Z sends a message that is consistent with the ideas that fear may cause people to do things they would otherwise condone, but oppositely fear is a barrier between rationality and insanity. Overall what Max Brooks suggests about the nature of fear is that fear can twist human judgement and make people do the unthinkable, but without fear people could become much more dangerous. Humans should have some fear for it is one of the principle emotions of what it means to be human, and without fear or too much fear we lose perception of our limitations, however denial is not the right way to seem fearless or handle fear. In World War Z it is clear that whether it be a government, a survivalist group, or a small military battalion, fear causes people to do things that they would otherwise think is insane or immoral. One insight to this perspective is during a scene where the commander of a U.S. battalion is punishing his group for disobeying orders. In this scene the man being interviewed recounts his superior saying “‘You spoiled children think democracy is a God given right. You expect it, you demand it! Well, now you’re going to get your chance to practice it.” What did he mean? We should be the ones to decide who would be punished. Broken up into groups of ten we would have to vote on which one

In the play, “The Diary of Anne Frank” Mr. Frank said, “ Everyone is motionless, paralyzed with fear.” Correspondingly, because they are fearful, they cannot sleep at night.

It was also noted that the speaker utilized three different quotes from Anne Frank in her presentation. The first quote was used as an attention-getter in the beginning of the speech, the second was used during her first main point, and the last quote was used in her conclusion as a tool to tie the presentation back to the main purpose of her speech. The speaker’s choice of quotes appeared to be utilized to shed light on how Anne Frank felt during the scary times she and her family were facing. I allowed the audience to pick up on the sadness, fear, and even the struggles in general that Anne was going through during this time, making it a successful part of her presentation overall.

“In spite of everything I still believe people are truly good at heart.” Anne Frank wrote this quote in her diary. I do believe that people are truly good at heart. Though sometimes people don’t do the right thing, people are generous towards each other, even during bad times. People take care of each other and help each other when they need it. When things are bad, people try to have an optimistic attitude.

Fear is a feeling created in a response to a perceived danger. Fear can produce pleasure, heighten awareness, be in the form of phobia, a fear of the unknown and an instinctual response to danger.
