Examples Of Isolation In The Diary Of Anne Frank

Anne had always maintained a close relationship with her mother. She respected her work ethic and her determination to raise her family the best she could. Yet most young women face a time in their lives when their relationship with their mother is strained. This somewhat natural occurrence took place, but was intensified by Anne's own discovery of how the world really worked, in terms of race relations. I think that Anne always found her mother's lack of communication, regarding the race situation, as a weakness. This created more distrust for her mother at an already vulnerable time in her life.

The only thing she had to do was study and write in her diary. She never goes outside and always has to worry about if their ever going to be discovered and killed. The Frank Family wasn’t the only ones that went into hiding in the “Secret Annexe”, also the Van Daans and Mr. Dussel, making a total number of eight. Their survival in the “Secret Annexe” was dependent on their helpers who brought them food, news from the outside, and books.

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 1933, the nazi took power in Germany, which cause depression to a lot of people. At the beginning, Nazi defy the Jews, Gypsies, and the disabled. In March 1933, the first concentration camp was built and later on more concentration and death camps were made. A family named the Franks went into hiding with the Van Daans in Amsterdam. In “Anne Frank” the characters face adversity and conflict like man vs self, man vs nature, and man vs man that makes the “Diary of Anne Frank” a wonderful story.

In the annex, Anne had many types of relationships with very few people. At first she didn’t like Peter Van Daan, because he was so shy and pessimistic. But as time wore on, she got closer and closer to Peter, and had a very broad love. Alas, this love did not last. Anne became annoyed with Peter, because he was so lost in her beauty and intelligence that he wouldn’t listen to her or give her any space. Her father, Pim or Otto, would always smother her with “understanding” but he never really knew how she felt. He would sympathetically explain to her that,”It’ll pass,” and that,”It’s just a phase.” Anne, however, wouldn’t have it. She wanted to be her own person, leave her own mark on the world. “I want to go on living, even after I die.”-Anne Frank confided in her diary. Edith, Anne’s mother, tried to get close to Anne and be what a mother is supposed to be, a supporter, and friend; a shoulder to cry on and a person who sees the best in you even at your worst. But Anne didn’t want to let her in, because when she did her mother judged her and put her down; made her feel like there was something erroneous about herself. Most people in my grade are in some kind of relationship.

In the beginning Anne and her Mother can’t really connect or seem to agree on anything. Anne’s Mother is always scolding her for being too rambunctious and not acting like a nice,respectful, and young lady. For example: “ You don’t hear Margot getting into arguments with them do you? Watch Margot. She’s always

In the famous story of a girl, named Anne Frank, we see this true life story of this one girl hiding in the secret Annex with her family and friends. Anne Frank by Anne Frank, is a diary with her true feelings and confusion in life with comical laughs in it. But one thing she is different is, isolation. She feels isolated from her family is different values. Her mother she feels the most isolated from. In the outside world, her family is being isolated also , in hiding. But in her own way of happiness too. The Secret Annex shows all the isolation, good and bad of Anne, and her feelings.

In the Diary of Anne Frank, the outside world not only gave her nightmares, but it changed her mood, and personality. The day Mr.Dussel arrived he began to tell the families about the outside world. Not knowing that the families were unaware on how much worse the world has gotten, he begins to share his knowledge.

How does isolation affect the families in the Secret Annex? Isolation is defined as far away from other people or places. Isolation has many different parts to it, the conflicts caused by it, the avoidance it creates and the pros and cons.The families were isolated from people. The families could hear people and see them occasionally but had very little interaction with anyone. They were isolated and it lead to them getting annoyed with each other. This led to conflict and tension between characters. For example, Anne and Mr. Dussel were sharing the same room and on page 375 when Anne has a nightmare, Mr. Dussel complains about how much Anne tosses and turns.

Anne’s relationship with her mother is very different then with her father Anne has a very good relationship with her father she always wants him around when there is a problem. Anne thinks that her father understands her,Anne doesn’t think her mother understands her,she thinks that she is wrong about the things she says. Anne rejects her mother usually. Anne always listens to her father. In the play Anne pushes her mother away when she try’s to comfort her when she had a bad dream. Anne i think secretly loves her mother the way she is she just doesn’t admit it.

Isolation is a very serious thing, this can cause a person to go insane or make someone very depressed because they are separated from everyone else. In Anne Frank they do have other people hiding with them, but that is not the same as being with a friend or walking down the street and encountering another human. The secret annex had the same people in it until Mr. Dussel came to hide with Anne and her family. The people in hiding were worried because that is another person to help, but they must have felt excited to see a new face, but then he stayed for a long time and just became another person instead of a new human who everyone was excited to see. Being isolated must be very scary also.

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

but Anne however doesn’t feel the same. We find this in the play when Anne doesn’t want the comfort or kiss from her mother after a nightmare, making her mother cry, then soon after tells her father that he is the only

In the text, Anne tries very hard to care for her mother, and not be so mean. Anne used to be extremely furious with her mother. This was only because they did not thoroughly understand each other.
