People Are Good At Heart In The Hangman By Anne Frank

The story of Anne Frank is probably one of the most recognized and well known in the world. The experiences she and her family suffered through as they hid from the Nazis during the Holocaust. Their story is well documented in Anne’s own words through her diary. She revealed the horror and difficulties her family faced as they hid in an attic (the annex) for two years from the Nazis. Somehow, despite starvation, hours of total silence, and being separated from the outside world, she maintained a belief that man was still capable of humanity. In her diary, she stated, “In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.” How is it possible for someone who endured what she endured to still have kindness, optimism, and hope?

Do you believe all people have a little good in them? Anne Frank did. She was a Jewish teenage girl who went into hiding during Holocaust of World War II. She didn’t want to live up to her mother’s expectations, mostly because she felt that she couldn’t. All her mother wanted was for her to be more like Margot, her older sister. In fact, she stated in her diary, "In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart." There are many reasons why she said this. But they all circulate around the primary idea that she was an optimistic person and tried to always see the brighter side in everything.

How do you picture someone that is good at heart? Maybe you see them as a hero that saved someone’s life, but a person can do the slightest deed and still be considered good at heart. In “The Diary of Anne Frank,” there were many characters that contributed to the theme that people are good at heart. The characters not only developed the theme through their words, but they also developed the theme through their actions. “The Diary of Anne Frank,” was a diary that was written by Anne Frank during the time of World War II and the Holocaust. The diary gave us real life information from the time of that devastating event. This play showed us that many people are good at heart, but the theme was mostly developed through the characters Anne Frank, Miep Gies, and Mr. Frank.

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.

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. I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever approaching thunder, which will destroy us too, I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquillity will return again.” -Anne Frank

“In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.” (Anne Frank, 237). I’m sorry to say I do not agree with her statement, despite its overwhelming optimism. I believe that, like most things in life, “good” and “bad” are all subjective to perspective. For example, the people of Nazi Germany were told that the Jewish at the time were the source of all of the economic and political turmoil that they experienced after WW1. That was the only information that they knew, which was provided by the fascist government. While the government's higher ups are, indeed evil, the citizens and people of Germany could only gather their views and morals from this info. But sometimes people form different opinions for different, more primal, reasons.

Final 1: Overall Anne Frank was right when she said “ “In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.”

Anne Frank said, “In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.” Regardless of everything that Anne Frank and her family experienced, she believed that there was real good in the world. I would have to disagree with this quote. Throughout this play, I have learned that people are not really good at heart.

Have you ever read The Diary of Anne Frank?If you have not you should it is based on holocaust it was very sad it was a hard thing for them to go through. This girl in the book Anne Frank she is one of the jews said “In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.” She had this diary with her during the hiding and she wrote all the things that would happen and all the bad things and good thing.I would have to agree with her quote. The reason for that is because of all the kind things she did throughout the book and she went from a little mean girl to this very kind lady. There still can be two sides one is agree and one is disagree and some people might disagree because of Mr Dussel actions but I staying with I agree.

Have you ever had a hard time in your life? The Holocaust was a very tough time for the Jews, they were forced to either find a place to stay or they would get sent off to concentration camp, which was leading to their last breath. Anne Frank and her family, had to stay in an annex to try to stay away from the Nazi’s because they were Jewish. They had to be really quiet during the day or they would be heard from down below. However, there is one special girl that handled it very well. Anne Frank once said, “ In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.” Throughout all the obstacles that Anne and her family have faced, she is always looking for the good in people. After reading the diary, I have come to a decision. Anne’s quote really said a lot about her and others around her. I am agreeing with Anne’s powerful quote. The others that were in hiding with Anne really had to persevere and help each other out. When I read the diary I saw that the most caring person was Miep. She always helped them when they needed something outside of the annex, but I can still see how people think that people during those days were not very good at heart. I think Mr Van Daan seemed a little rude and selfish about others.

Anne frank was very young when she died. She was killed by the Nazis when she was only 16. Anne had kept a diary with her during the 2 years she was in hiding. One of the last things she wrote in this diary was “In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.”

Have you ever hated someone? Next time you are considering that, you should understand how Anne Frank felt about the Nazis how made her stay hidden in the Secret Annex for about 2 years. The little girl was in the middle of a war thinking I might be found, including being taken to the concentration camp at the age of 13. Try to see what she saw and felt about those people who made her be cooped up in the Secret Annex. If you were in her position would you say,” In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.” Aren't you wondering why she said that? In the play The Diary of Anne Frank the ending she said that phrase and the reasons she did say that was because she has grown up with nice people, never experienced a bad situation, and just has that attitude towards situations

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

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness;only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate;only love can do that.”- Martin Luther King Jr. Should you always look for the good in people? What if people have made a bad mistake, are they still good? Anne Frank always believed in the good in the people and you should too. I will show you information to prove that Anne’s way was right with the data I have collected.

According to Anne Frank, all people are good at heart. But is that really true? Well, the truth is, that not all people are good at heart. Furthermore, The people anne was referring to as “good at heart” were the individuals responsible for the mass murder of the innocent Jewish people. Additionally, The Jews were forced out of their homes, had their businesses taken away, etc. for no valid reason except for their religion. And finally If everyone was good at heart, than the fighting and bickering occuring in the Annex, wouldn’t have come about.
