For thousands of years, humans have had wars and certain races, religions, or ethnic groups have been persecuted. Many wars have brought death and destruction, including World War II. In World War II, over six million jews were murdered, simply because they didn’t conform to Hitler’s disgusting standards. Many Jews had to cope with conflict in their everyday lives. People react to or cope with conflict in different ways, but I believe that two good ways are to hide and avoid the conflict, or to write about the conflict. The Diary of Anne Frank is a good example of both writing and hiding to cope with conflict. She has a journal and she writes about their ordeal while hiding from the Nazis. She is a bubbly young girl and writing is her way of coping with World War II. She has to hide with another family and she writes about that as well. She hides and writes, two ways of coping with conflict. She writes about the feelings and opinions of her and those around her. One example of her writing to cope with conflict is “Father, Mother, and Margot still can’t get used to the Westertoren clock, which tells us the time every quarter of the hour. Not me, I liked it from the start.” She also describes hiding. “It’s more like being on vacation in some strange pension.” The next example of writing to cope with …show more content…
These pages are about resolving conflict and they have a few strategies, but they list avoiding as a short term fix. The articles say “You avoid mostly as a short term strategy, recognizing that conflict will not go away.” Sometimes, people can’t understand the situation, and this is what the article says, “Avoiding is a helpful response to conflict when you are too upset to deal with the situation rationally.” Avoiding also means that you don’t particularly care, “To avoid is to decide that the relationship, nor achieving your goals is
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
“We used to have heavenly times… we’d finish up with ice cream at the Delphi or Oasis, where Jews were allowed…” The drama, The Diary of Anne Frank, by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett is about a young girl and her experiences during the Holocaust. It explains both the occurrences happening inside and outside of the characters secret Annex. The drama reflects the historical events surrounding the characters in a different light than what would usually be seen in things including textbooks or pieces of informative writing.
“Conflict is drama, and how people deal with conflict shows you the kind of people they are.” The thought expressed by actor Stephen Moyer portrays that conflict brings out a reaction from people, but they may not always be the same reaction. Being victims of the Holocaust Elie Wiesel and Anne Frank have different responses with some similarities. Both characters have a very similar response to write about the (hardships) they faced or were facing. Although Wiesel and Frank share the will to write about the (hardships), key differences developed throughout there (hardship). Wiesel lost faith in God, and as time lapsed Wiesel’s viewpoint on the future grew negative. On the other hand, Anne Frank stayed Optimistic about the future and found hope and passion through Peter.
During the holocaust most worried for themselves but some risked their lives for others. In the play Diary of Anne Frank by frances goodrich and albert hackett the franks van daans and the people that helped them show many positive traits. The families lived together and did not always get along but they ended up living together for two and a half years. Mr.kralear exemplified selflessness when taking in seven people and taking over mr frank's business
I did not do character versus society for my response but I do agree that it is one of the most present forms of conflict in The Diary of Anne Frank. I agree with you because in the beginning of the book the Franks along with many other Jewish families to go into hiding. Also it caused many not Jewish and Jewish people to have to ration the amount of food they can buy due to the
Roughly six million Jews were killed in the Holocaust. This, sadly may not surprise anybody, but in addition to that, five million non-Jewish civilians were wiped out. Since the early 1900s, countless pieces were written and published (of all genres), encompassing the idea of what people have gone through during the Holocaust. This heinous slaughter affected both Jews and non-Jews. In these writings, a multitude of characters’ both experiences and roles throughout World War II differed. The two characters I have selected are Anne Frank from the nonfiction play version of The Diary of Anne Frank, adapted by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, and Bruno from the realistic fiction novel The Boy in the Striped Pajamas written by John Boyne. In The Diary of Anne Frank, the Franks and Van Daans were in hiding from the Nazis due to the fact that they were Jewish people. Anne Frank was recording all of her thoughts in her diary. In The Boy In The Striped Pajamas, Bruno, a young boy, and his family were forced to move away from Berlin because of his father’s cruel profession (being in charge of an extermination camp). Unaware of his father’s inhumane line of work, Bruno was forced to make do with all the questions about the people on the other side of the fence he never got answers to. This all begun solely because in Bruno’s new home, in the distance he could vaguely make out what he assumed was a farm, when in reality it was an extermination camp for Jews to go and, unfortunately,
In Anne Frank’s Diary, Anne writes about each person in hiding with her. From Anne’s point of view, each character has a different personality: from Otto being portrayed as a loving father to Mrs. Van Daan being shown as a selfish prick. Although the one character I relate to the most if Margot. One example is how I am an influence on my younger siblings. In the middle of Act 1 Scene 3, Mrs. Frank wants Anne to act more like Margot. Edith wants Anne to be more mature and quiet since they are hiding. Although Anne refuses and believes that Mr. and Mr. Van Daan would be walking over her just like they are with Margot. In real life, my brother, Simon, looks up to me. My mom has mentioned he follows some of my speech patterns and seems to quote
Conflict is everywhere in Anne Frank, from the War to the characters struggling with their own beliefs. The Character vs Character conflict relates to the war in the story. “It's a wonder we weren’t arrested, walking along the streets…”. This line from the story shows that they have to be careful when going outside as they may be arrested by the germans. There's a conflict with Anne and her own conscious in the beginning of the story. “[She starts to throw hers in, then stops]. It's funny, I can’t throw mine away.” This show that Anne’s mind won’t let her throw away her Star of David. Overall, Conflicts are everywhere in The Diary of Anne Frank, and something tells me there will be a lot

Every single character in “The Diary of Anne Frank” and “Freedom Writers” could’ve been able to say yes to that question before they even entered high school.

When reading, “ The Diary of Anne Frank, “ by Frances Goodrich, watching, “ One Survivor Remembers, “ by Korg Antholis, and reading, “ Nazi Hunters, “ by Neal Bascomb, I noticed in both the books and the documentary, all the parents from the two books and the documentary, wanted their children to have absolute safety and comfort. The time where both books and the documentary take place between the time of, world war two, also known as the time between, September 1, 1939 – September 2, 1945. All parents wanted to keep their children safe during the war, so that the children can live their future lives in peace and start their own family. The determination of all the characters is expressed through their care for their children. In my first event, from, “ The Diary of Anne Frank, “ by Frances Goodrich, the families are sleeping and Mrs. Frank gets out of her bed to check up on the noise that she heard coming from the kitchen. When, Mrs. Frank arrives in the kitchen, she finds Mr. Vaan Daan, the husband of Mrs. Van Daan, and father to Peter Vaan Daan, who are living in the secret annex with the Franks, stealing food from the food safe. When, Mrs. Frank catches Mr. Vaan Daan stealing the food, everyone awakes from their sleep to go check on the yelling from the kitchen. After, arguing with Mr. Vaan Daan, Mrs. Frank decides the Vaan Daans must leave the annex. But, Mrs. Frank promised to keep all the children safe, including Peter Vaan Daan. ‘ He’ll stay of course, when I mean keep the children safe I mean Peter too, ‘ says Mrs. Frank (535). From reading the quote, I can infer Mrs. Frank wanted complete safe and security for the children, even if it means keeping Peter safe too. What I can infer from this quote is Mrs. Frank will not stop to keep the children safe. In my opinion, this shows courage because usually, Mrs. Frank is not as open during conversations or talking with other people. But, Mrs. Frank shows her full side when speaking in the argument, releasing her thoughts and opinions on the situation. For my second event, Gerda, a little girl, is living in Poland during the Nazi invasion of Poland. Gerda and her mother were discovered and had to be sent off to German Death Camps. A Nazi officer walks over
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.
Some effects horribly drastic, and some minor sacrifices or luxuries. Politics and conflict can affect the outside world and The Diary of Anne Frank shows this theme. The reason anne frank went into hiding is because of conflict. The holocaust and hitler’s reign that forced their hand. Neighbors and friends were getting sent to camps all around them.
