Similarities Between Farah And Anne

Hana Brady and Anne Frank’s lives started out very happy and carefree, but then it all changed when the Nazis marched in. They both lived through the holocaust and they were oppressed and persecuted just because they were Jewish. Hana and Anne had very similar lives before the Holocaust, but very different family relationships and very different experiences during the war.

Anne Frank and Elie Wiesel also had many same and different views on religion. They were both Jewish but Elie was a lot more involved with his religion and its various texts. Anne felt she wasn't a good Jew because she wasn't very involved in her religion and didn't care much for it. Elie thought his religion was everything. Anne and Elie's ideas of religion drew close as "Night" neared its end.

On one hand, Anne Frank and Jeanne Wakatsuki both share many similarities. For example they were both little girls who were imprisoned during the second world war. Although Jeanne was put in internment camps by the US FBI and Anne was put into a concentration camp by the Nazis. Plus Anne and Jeanne were forced to go to internment/concentration camps and couldn't leave. But the internment camps were closed in 1945 but the concentration camps weren’t liberated until captured by the Allied forces of Western Europe, The USA and Australia. Furthermore, both girls wrote about their experiences. But Anne wrote a

Farah Ahmedi’s goal was to cross the Afghanistan border to get to a better life in Pakistan. In the first read, The Other Side of the Sky, it says, “‘Night was falling, we were stranded out there in the open’”(Ahmedi 4). This states it was nighttime and she and her mother had no place to stay. Along the way, her and her mother faced many hardships, “The worst thing would have been if we had gotten separated. We were only risking injury”(Ahmedi 3). In addition, “Terribly warm and we had no water, but we walked. My mother began to wheeze. Her asthma was bad. Her anxiety made it worse. We could have gotten over in little more than an hour if not for my mother. Our journey took many hours”(Ahmedi 11). Overall, they succeeded their mission and made it over the border. For example, “This excerpt from “Escape from Afghanistan” describes their efforts to make

The second aspect of the regime that really amazed me was how the women are treated under the Taliban rule. Every woman must wear a burqa veil no matter where she is going. If a woman is found outside of her house with out her veil on she can be whipped or

Clearly, gender was a difference in both medias. Osama being a strong female lead, with the Taliban being a main contribution to the movie; everything she was doing was against the laws of the Taliban. Amir being a male while the Taliban are taking over reduces the violence upon himself; making himself as a male immediately above women. Gender equality was neither discussed or practiced in either media, yet it was discouraged and was thought to be religiously correct the way they were practicing

Now even though Anne Frank and Gerda Klein were different people and they had different personalities, their lives had things in common. For example, They were both taking to a concentration camp and they were both planning what they were going to do once they were saved. They both had high hopes for their future, like Anne wanted to be a great writer who would be remembered even after she died. Both of their friends either died or were killed at the concentration camp. They were both surviving on little or no food for years. Gerda was a human skeleton when she was found by the american soldiers. These were just a few of the major similarities that I found.

To kill A Mockingbird and The Diary of Anne Frank both address a young girls journey to maturity amidst a society prone to prejudice and racism. If someone was to compare the views, actions and environment that Anne Frank had grown admits, to that of Scout Finch, it would be very unlikely to find many differences. Growing up, Anne and felt isolated from society. Despite, the racism and prejudice environment they grew up in, both had hopes that the future would change for the better. Although, Anne and Scout were physically and emotionally similar, Anne matured while Scout didn’t through their journeys in the novel.

One similarity is that how both of the roles of women in both wars had each provided for their families. Also, the woman were obligated to

In the Diary of Anne Frank, the two characters I chose to compare and contrast are Mrs. Frank and Mrs. Van Daan. These two ladies are similar and different in many ways. They are both middle aged women that live in Amsterdam. When the Holocaust began in 1939, Mrs. Frank and Mrs. Van Daan moved into the secret Annex with their families.

Many are familiar with Anne Frank's diary and have even sat down and watched the movie The Diary of Anne Frank. With her diary we learn a lot about Anne and her family, as well as the tragic story of their life, and the lives of many other Jews. However, this is not the only movie that gives us an insight in the life of a young girl during World War II. The Book Thief is in many ways similar to The Diary of Anne Frank in which the viewer is provided the experiences of the war between two very different young girls that have to adapt to a new home and possess an increasing hunger for knowledge.

Both born in 1929, yet an ocean apart, Martin Luther King Jr. and Anne Frank both had a big impact on the society today. They both were murdered by their cruel, harsh, society. They both wanted a more peaceful society as Martin Luther King Jr. says “A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.” When Martin says this he means that if a country worries about violence and war with their country and other countries, and not worry about social discrimination. He says that if you ignore discrimination then you will fall and the country will destroy it’s self.

Throughout Khaled Hosseini’s novel, The Kite Runner, the reader observes many injustices committed due to the presence of the Taliban and cultural conflict in Afghanistan. One of the most concerning issues in Afghanistan is the mistreatment and inequality that women face on a daily basis due to Taliban mandates. Women in Afghanistan are treated as inferior beings to men and are unable to stand up for themselves due the laws the Taliban enforces. Hosseini uses the wives of Amir and Hassan, Soraya and Farzana, to represent the injustices to which women in Afghanistan are subjected.

World Connection: In My Forbidden Face, Latifa writes about her experience of being imprisoned under Taliban rule. Another very famous piece of literature that portrays a similar story of history is The Diary of a Young Girl, which is also known as The Diary of Anne Frank. Latifa and Anne Frank both write about their accounts of living under inhumane rule, the struggles of survival, and the hope for life. What do their similarities say about mankind’s reactions towards the threat of life and freedom?

As a further means of separating the population into distinct groups, religion acts as a divisionary force between characters and cultures. There are two primary conflicting cultures represented in the novel that are the cause of religious differences: Sunnis versus Shi’ites and secularism versus religious fundamentalism. Similar to the discrimination based on ethnicity, the conflict based on religion is primarily exemplified through Assef and Hassan, who are Sunni and Shi’ite, respectively. As such, any justification for inclusion and exclusion of people not based solely on ethnicity could just be rationalized through differences of religion. With this prevalent culture present, the importance is in the author’s depiction of the “bleak hypocrisies of the Taliban period--the disgusting cruelties performed in the name of righteousness” as stated by David Denby in “Hard Life.” Through the
