How Is The Story Told 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.

The book diary of Anne Frank is about a teenage girl named Anne Frank. For Anne upcoming birthday she requests a diary so that she can express her thoughts, feelings, and emotions that occur day to day in her daily life. Her parents give it to her and she starts to log about her daily life and relationships with her friends and family. But what she doesn 't realize is her diary docs her horrible life that she has in hiding during the holocaust. Within this book report, the analysis of the book will be given along with the summary of the book by chapter.

After seeing the film and reading the text I learned a lot of information on what a Jews life in hiding was like. Both impacted me deeply but seeing the film was more impactful for me. In the film you could see what their living situation was like so you could get a better understanding of what being in hiding was like, it might not have been a exact replica of what it really was like but you still got a good idea of it. Also you could see the characters feelings and emotions. This helped the viewers know what they were feeling in a certain moment in time. So while both were very interesting I was more in favor of the Film over the Text, it add more elements to the story for me.

The Holocaust was a time of war where many families were separated from one another and many had died from this tragic event. Although, from the book “Diary of Anne Frank” a Jewish girl named Anne that had been affected by the Holocaust had said, “In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.” Even though Anne and her family faced many hardships during the Holocaust Anne still saw the good in it all, and after reading the book I have to agree with Anne’s quote. One of the main reasons of why I am siding with Anne is because of Peter’s actions throughout the book and how his actions rapidly changed once Anne showed kindness to him. However, I can see how some people may disagree with Anne’s quote throughout Mr. Van Daan’s horrible actions throughout the book.

In the late 1930s and early 1940s the world experienced very traumatic events. Adolf Hitler comes to power in Germany. He banned all political parties, except the Nazis. Two of the families that were affected by his changes were the Franks and the Van Daans. Anne Frank was a member of the Frank family. Her family and the Van Daans experienced what was happening personally. During the time that she was forced to go into hiding, she kept a diary with her. The diary has become very important item for learning about the events that happened. Historical events are reflected in the play “The Diary of Anne Frank” by showing how what’s happening in the outside world affects the families that have had to go into hiding.

So just try to imagine what these families went through. Being trapped in a secret annex for 2 years ripped their families apart. The war took away the lives of many Jews. Not having enough food and enough space was one of the worst possible ways to be hiding. If the Franks and Van Daans were going to survive the night, this what they had to

While in hiding, the living conditions were horrific. The Franks as well as the Van Daans, moved to a Secret Annex in Mr. Frank’s business. The Annex was a hidden attic, and the door was covered by a bookcase. In the Annex, they could not use the bathroom or even run the water during certain time frames. Also, they had to be very quiet. All of the trash they created had to be burnt. Finally, they had to wear the same

The Frank’s made a bad decision in letting the Van Daan’s live in the secret annex with them because of conflicts, noise trouble and space issues. One reason that the Franks made a bad decision is because of conflicts between characters. For example, in the play Mr. Van Daan says to Anne, “This isn’t a quarrel! It’s a discussion. And I never heard children so rude before (386).” The quote shows how Anne and Mr. Van Daan were arguing and creating conflict, which tells how letting the Van Daans stay with the Franks wasn’t a smart idea. Similarly, another example of how the Franks made a bad decision is because of space issues. In the play, Anne states to Mrs. Frank, “I’ll come in here with you and Mother, and Margot can take Peter’s room and Peter can go in the room with Mr. Dussel (390).” The text displays how there is not adequate space for both families to live plus Mr. Dussel, which proves that allowing the Van Daan’s to live with them was a bad decision made by the Franks. On the other hand, some people may think that it was a good idea for the Van Daans to live with the Franks. An example is, “Anne. Peter, where are you going?

In the play " The Diary of Anne Frank", written by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, the character Mr. Dussel would be the most difficult to live with under the conditions of the secret annex due to his personality and certain actions he does throughout the play. Living as a Jew during WWII would probably be one of the worst things one could imagine. However, living as a Jew during WWII in a secret annex with a rude, disrespectful, and inconsiderate man would be even worse. These are just a few attributes of the character named Mr. Dussel. When Dussel moved in with the Franks in an already overly crowded annex, he shared a room with the youngest one there, Anne. He and Anne were complete opposites. Anne was a teenager with a mercurial type

When Mr. Frank invites other Jews to stay in his hiding place, he is taking a big risk. One family that they welcome into the attic is the Van Daan family. The Franks were so kind as to go out of their way to save a family and hide them from

The play version of The Diary of Anne Frank tells the story of how Anne Frank and her family went into hiding and all of the things that happened while they were there. In this play, Anne experiences what it is like to have to go into hiding for more than 2 years. A movie also came out talking about Anne’s life while hiding in the annex of a workplace. In this the audience sees, how Anne’s life changes during the Holocaust. Although the play and movie have differences in organization and setting, both have similar characters and conflicts.

The Anne Frank Story is a very great story, a very detailed story, a story with lots of conflict. The Frank family had to go into hiding for 2 years because of the nazis and hitler wanting to kill and separate jews. But even through the hiding, Anne managed to keep a happy and positive attitude throughout it all. All though Anne Frank was not alone, the Van Daans stayed with the Franks and in the Van Daan family was a boy named Peter which eventually led to being Anne Frank's Friend and sometimes all it takes is a friend to help keep you in a positive attitude to overcome great conflicts.

Did you know that millions of jews were murdered during the Holocaust. It's true, uncountable amounts of jews

During the devastating time of World War II, a Jewish teenage girl wrote a diary about the gruesome events she witnessed, this diary was named, Diary of a Young Girl, Anne Frank. Anne Frank lived in Holland and went into hiding when her sister, Margot, got a letter to go to a reception camp. The Franks faced terrifying moments during hiding.

In the diary of Anne Frank the reader knew that the tone is sad because they can’t leave their homes and also their is a war and finally they can’t celebrate the festival of Hanukah like they were. In the diary of Anne Frank, Mr.Frank said , “ We are all here, alive. That is present enough.” (page 737). Also Anne was trying to celebrate the festival so she gave everyone a present.
