Good At Heart In The Diary Of Anne Frank

“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.

Anne Frank is a kind, positive, and caring person. She has stated that "In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart." She is kind to everyone after they are rude to her and call her many names. She takes most of the positives out of a negative situation. Also, she's just a caring person in general to everyone she meets. Anne Frank has risked so many things going into hiding in the secret annex but she always found the best in it. She's a hero and a role model to many people.

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.

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, a girl who left us a diary of her struggles, has greatly impacted lives all over the world. She is probably one of the most successful young writers of all time.

Mr. Frank was a loyal man who even when the Van Daans were ungrateful for what Mr. Frank had done for them Mr. Frank never wanted them to leave. Mr. Frank always stood by his families side even if he knew that they were wrong. When Mrs. Frank went off on everyone towards the end of the play Mr. Frank told her she was going a little crazy, but he did not take anyones side and still stood with his wife. During the arguments between Anne and Mrs. Frank, Mr. Frank never chose sides, but tried to calm both of them and have them make up. When Anne had a nightmare and Anne wanted her father and not her mother, he tried to tell Anne that she needs to be able to talk to her mother and Mr. Frank tries to comfort Mrs. Frank.

People would go out of their way to help someone else. For Example, A doctor offered free medical care during Hurricane Sandy. This helped the victims of hurricane Sandy and it shows how kind the doctor is.On page 480, Anne says ¨There a lot more, songs and presents.¨ Anne wanted to cheer everyone up so, she made gifts for everyone and sang songs. This helped everyone feel a lot happier.

Have you ever just thought that someone was just straight up mean and cruel, or even just bad at heart? Well I have. Especially all of the Germans involved in the holocaust when they killed many Jews and allied forces just because they wanted to. Although one Jewish girl named Anne Frank wrote something down in her journal that totally changed my perspective about that. This is what she wrote, “ In Spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.” After I heard that quote I started to believe what she had said. Although no matter how bad someone is, what they do, or what they say, they are still somewhat good at heart no matter what. One of the reasons that I agree with Anne, are because of Mr. Kraler and Miep. Even though their lives are at stake they are still being kind and nice to the Franks and the Van Daans. Also throughout the book Anne started lighting up and being nice and kind to everyone. One example is on Hanukkah despite of what they knew was going on around them she still had a good attitude and

But when he came back to the secret annex after the war, he said that he was a bitter old man. “...I’m not the person you used to know, Miep. I’m a bitter old man.” (Goodrich/Hackett pg 702). He did have a lot of things to go through, like hiding in a small room for two years, having to keep quiet and make no noise while hiding, being found out and sent to a concentration camp, losing
