Anne Frank Essay In Amsterdam, the Netherlands, the year is 1940, and the Nazis are taking over. So, the Jewish people are forced to go into hiding. One of the families is the Franks, which is where you meet Anne Frank. One of the Jewish people that went into hiding to escape the Nazis and rath in WW2. But even though this was all happening to her, Anne still kept her head up and never gave up. Even though she could be captured at any moment. But in that time, Anne was talkative, caring, and positivity. One of the characteristics that play is how she is talkative. Anne in act one, scene two. Anne meets Peter and Anne is already asking him a ton of questions about his school and his cat. If that were me, it would take me awhile to even try to do that. It's just not something I would normally do. Another example of Anne being talkative is in Act one, scene when Anne started talking to Dussel. Those are my reasons for why Anne is talkative. …show more content…
The reason I think that Anne is caring is act one, scene five, during Hanukkah they were used to getting presents. So, Anne made everyone a present to open on Hanukkah. In my opinion, I thought that was very caring because Anne was giving people (that she may not been liked that much) presents without expecting anything back. Another reason that I think Anne is caring is Act two, Scene when Mr. Frank read Anne’s diary. He saw that Anne said, “In spite everything, I still think people are really good at heart” and that is amazing to me. After everything Anne went through and all the hardships, she still thought that the Germans and Hitler were still good people at
The quote that Anne states in her diary on July 1944 was, “In spite of everything, I still believe people are good at heart”, was a way for Anne to show what she was really made up of on the inside. Anne is a really kind person in her heart. Anne is also a very caring person because of some of the things she does such as give presents. Anne tries to stay positive in every situation that she can, even when things get bad. And that is why I think Anne thought of that quote while writing in her diary about daily events that happened before and while in the secret annex.
Anne Frank died, but she has left a very inspirational legacy behind. During her life, Anne was a very optimistic person. She loved to think of the best things in life. She was very caring too, comforting people when they were down. Her feelings about some people and some situations changed at times, but she has always felt the same about one thing. Anne believed that people are really good at heart because she is a kind and caring individual. Why would she think this way in that situation? What does this say about her as a person?
That is truly amazing. Anne makes everyone happier and just smile more. She can bring the best out of people and, in situations. Anne is just being a teenager and trying to have fun. I truly hope I can be like Anne someday. This girl went through torture and pain and still kept a smile on her face. Meanwhile if teenage doesn't acquire an iPhone they have a fit. We all need to take lessons and look at what's really important in life. Anne knew that family is more important than anything. She would do anything for them, it played a major role in making sure everyone wanted to continue on the journey they were all fighting for. If Anne was not a part of this hiding, who knows what would have happened. I'm so glad I was able to be taught a lesson from such an aspiring young woman, who had a horrible fate. We can not even comprehend the full story on what went on in the attic. There could've been much more terrible situations that happened in hiding that we will never know about. Nobody can judge anything that happened in hiding, because they will never truly know how it felt to be cooped up for two years. We should all give the Frank family our most respect. Especially to have a little girl who believed in people so
In the beginning, Anne was a very outgoing, happy girl. She was very immature and tried looking
Remember that she is only a young teenager, and that she’s likely not aware of all the danger she’s truly in. Because of this, there is a huge impact on how she thinks of others. It’s a lot easier for her to believe that people are all good at heart this way. In her diary, Anne once said “I don’t think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains,” this quote shows how Anne recognizes all the hate and sadness in the world, but she always tries to look past it and see the beauty that is still there. This also shows Anne’s viewpoint on people, and how, unlike her, most people first see the flaws of other people, but she always tried to look past the poor parts and see the best in people. Also this is seen in the play, such as we saw how she is caring for her sister and father. That is the last piece of evidence I have that shows that Anne was a positive
During this scene, Anne is showing her kindness to everyone in the Annex. Everyone is feeling kind of down and sad, and they didn’t really expect to get presents this year. When Anne gave them presents, it gave them joy and really lifted their spirits. She gave gifts to everyone that was in the Annex, even though some people didn’t really deserve them. Anne showed her kindness to Mr. Van Daan and Mr. Dussel because in my opinion, they were some of the most selfish and unkind people in the Annex. Mr. Dussel was constantly being rude to Anne, especially about her having night terrors. Anne got him some earbuds for at night, which was very kind of her after all of the things he’s said to her about her nightmares. Anne shows that we can all be kind to one another, even the people that aren’t so kind all the time. Through Anne’s actions on Hanukkah, I agree with her that people are really good at heart.
In the play, The Diary of Anne Frank, Anne is a dynamic character who is disrespectful and immature in the beginning of the play. When Anna had a nightmare in the beginning of the play, her mother came into her room to comfort her. Her mother offered Anne water and to stay with her until she fell asleep, but Anne said it wasn’t necessary to stay. When Mrs. Frank stated, “But I’d like to start with you . . . Very much. Really.” Anne replied, “I’d rather you didn’t” (398). This scene demonstrates Anne is both immature and rude because she rejects her mother’s help. Her mother is likely very hurt by this rejection, especially since, as her mother leaves the room, Anne asks for her father instead. In the end of the play, Anne shows she is a dynamic character by displaying the character traits brave and thoughtful. While Peter and Anne
A quote that helps support this is, "But you don't know how important it can get to be...especially when you're frightened." This reveals that Anne likes to enjoy life. This is noted in the play, when she makes the statement until she brought pictures and not clothes, she said that memories mean more to her than anything. It also reveals that she uses her annoyance and happiness as a shell. After Anne made remarks to her mother, she went to Mr. Frank, or her father. She told him personally that she acted the way she did so people would take her seriously. These are the reasons that support the claim that the quote reveals multiple things about her
“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
At first, Anne was terrified to go into hiding but her positivity and hope showed and taught many people lessons on how you should look at life. Anne had such a big influence on the people who read her diary. The play that was constructed off of her diary writings really lets us understand how and what Anne was feeling along with the others in the house. The Franks in addition to their friends, had people who helped them out while they were in hiding. This is one reason why Anne would have thought that people were really good at heart. One prime example is Miep Gies. She helped the Franks even though she was not faithful in the Jewish religion. Meip replenished everyone in the group by bringing them what they needed. She had a well thought out tactic that helped her be able to bring supplies to the secret annex. She never gave up on them and helped them through their entire hiding. This shows that people may not believe in the same things as you, but deep in their heart, they are willing to help anyone in need. The group of people hiding in the secret annex was in need, they had no way of getting food or any other supplies. This is where Miep came in to help them. She brought them the food, plus all of the supplies that they needed, therefore, making them live much longer than they should have. In the play, you could tell how happy the family was to see her. On page 326, we read, “Thank you, Miepia. You shouldn’t have done it.” this was
To begin with, Anne and Peter’s personalities have many similarities and differences. Anne is very outgoing, talkative, and optimistic.On page 728 Anne is talking to Mr.Dussel and in their conversation about allergies she says, “How dreadful. You must be terribly lonely”. If Anne was outgoing she probably wouldn't have had the courage to talk to Mr.Dussel like that, or at all. On the other hand, Peter's personality is quiet, respectful, and more reserved than Anne’s. When Anne gave Peter a present for Mousci, he said
She told Peter what she thinks about the situation they are in and everything that's happening and it's unbelievably sophisticated. Anne deliberates, "If you'd only look at it a part of a great pattern... that we're just a little minute," (431). She has grown up so much that she is able to look at all the horrible things being done and say that in the end, none of it matters. Her loved ones and her are inevitably going to be killed or are already being killed. She disregards it as being something that won't be important in a hundred or so years. Most kids her age would never think that their lives don't matter because they think the world revolves around them and she is incredibly mature to think the opposite of that. In another part of the play while Anne and her family are being taken away to be killed by the Nazis, Anne writes in her diary, "In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart," (434). For someone who is so young and who has been through what she has and still think that people really are good is amazing. Adults look back at the Holocaust and thought Hitler and the Nazis were awful people yet Anne lived through it and still believes that they really are good people. That is an amazing and beyond incredibly mature thing to think. Anne has become so much more mature by the end of the
In her diary, Anne admits that she is surprised she has not dropped all her ideals because, "they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can't build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death" (Frank 263). Anne Frank is remembered by many for taking the good out of the many bad events that happened to her during the Holocaust and always rejuvenating her hopes. Implementing positivity in her life encouraged her to move past the conflict of hiding for over two years and secluding herself from others.
Anne, a dynamic character, changed from immature and outspoken to a hopeful and mature person at the end of the play. In Act 1, Anne can be described as an outspoken person. She is not afraid of speaking her mind and talking to people with confidence. (Mr. Van Daan) “Why aren't you so nice
The passage “Diary of Anne Frank” is written by Anne Frank herself during World War 2. Her family had to go into hiding because the were Jewish, the lived in a small attic above a business. They lived with another family, the Van Danns, you could imagine living in a small house with another family could cause conflict. But on top of that they are in the middle of World War 2 trying to hide from the Nazi’s.
