Anne frank and tasting the sky are two great pieces of literature. The timeline in anne frank is about the holocaust, and in tasting the sky it is discussing the Israeli and Palestinian conflict. In tasting the sky, the main character is a young girl named ibtisam. Ann Frank, however, is a little different. Anne frank isn’t really a book it’s a diary. Anne Frank wrote in her diary about what happened to her during a short time period in her life. There are many similarities and differences within the two literary works.
One similarity for the two of them is they both had a depressing and difficult life as young girls. Israel occupied Palestine; meanwhile the Nazis were in the process of killing six million Jews. Another comparison is, the

Both had complicated, troublesome and depressing life as a kid. Anne and her family had to go into hiding; while Ibtisam and hers didn’t necessarily go into hiding they just left their house. Anne stayed into hiding for two years. The Israeli and Palestinian war lasted for six days.
Ibtisam Barakat and Anne Frank obviously had different personalities. Anne was eleven when the Holocaust started and ibtisam was only three when the six day war started. Even though they are extremely different in some ways, they were both very energetic. While ibtisam had no love life, anne had a boyfriend. She would always daydream about him and how she hoped she would get close with him. Ibtisam would go into her journal and write about how she felt. Anne also did the same; she would write about what happened to her and what she did that day.
Understanding the fact that the girls were under a lot of stress and still had hope, it is very significant and just represents how mature they were at such a young age. Dealing with someone, and/or group telling you to leave your country isn’t something you would expect at that age. That was the biggest comparison for the both of them. Sadly, Anne died at the age of thirteen (because of a disease), but ibtisam is still alive, lives in the United States, married and has kids. That is the biggest contradiction for the two of them. There are many differences and similarities between the two of them. Anne Frank and Tasting the Sky are two great pieces of
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 and her family has very hard lives during the Holocaust. They treat you so poorly in the concentration camps. The fact that they hid for a very long time instead of registering, made them prisoners so they were treated even worse.
“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.
This literary work truly shows how Anne Frank was a martyr of racism and an insightful chronicler of her time period and place. The work also shows the typical adolescence of Anne Frank and her constant arguments with her mother in particular. It also deals with the day to day hiding she and her family went through. The only problem with the book is that the fact that Anne Frank rewrote her diary about two months before she was captured because she wanted her journal to be published after the war and she wanted to peruse a career in journalism. Therefore it is hard to tell what existed in her original copy and how much did she add afterwards.
People can only imagine the terrors that the Jews and other ethnic groups had to go through during the Holocaust in World War II. With Anne Frank’s diary, people can finally put themselves into the scene and captivate all the feelings and sentiments that Anne Frank has poured onto the pages. Anne Frank, her family, and their friends were known for hiding from the German Nazis in the Secret Annex for two years from 1942-1944. Innocent and naive,
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
Through the past couple of weeks, I’ve read these two very interesting books; “The Diary of a Young Girl” by Anne Frank and “Summer of My German Soldier” by Bette Greene. These two books are told from the perspectives of two young girls, who struggle through life as Jews. “The Diary of a Young Girl” is told from the perspective of Anne Frank and “Summer of My German Soldier” is told from Patricia Bergen’s perspective. Anne and Patricia have many similarities, but they also contrast in some ways too. My goal is to show how they are similar and how they’re also different.
"The Diary of Anne Frank" tells us a story about how her life as a Jew was drastically changing during the Holocaust and the start of World War II (WWII). She was a very intelligent young woman that had hopes and dreams. Anne was a normal teenager trying to find her way in life. All of that changed when the Nuremburg Race Laws were formed. Her father who was a World War I fighter hid his family and friends in a Secret Annex that was blended in with a normal neighborhood. As she lived for months in the Secret Annex, Frank had written her diary, full of her experiences in the Annex. Everything changed though, when she reached the end of her times in the Annex. Hitler's men had found Anne and her family and friends. This memoir adds in to the
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.
Sadly, on the way her younger brother passed away, and Liesel is the only one that meets her new parents, a German couple, Hans and Rosa Huberman. While in The Diary of Anne Frank, Anne is a Jewish girl, raised in a Jewish family. Her life is the perfect life of a young thirteen-year-old, she has a loving family, many friends, and even a boy that likes her. However, all of this was taken away when the raiding for Jews started to increase in Germany. Her family is forced to go into hiding in the attic at her dad's business building. Although both movies are based on the lives of two young girls, we are shown two very diverse point of views of the war.
Elie Wiesel and Anne Frank face similar conflicts relating to the Nazi takeover and Jewish extermination. Elie Wiesel and Anne Frank both deal with these problems in different ways.

Despite their differences Farah and Anne share similarities as well. A similarity they share is they wrote about their story. Both Farah and Anne wrote about their teenager’s life. “But at the end, I have decided to tell this story because it is not mine alone” (Ahmedi 14). This quote describes Farah was going to tell everyone her story, which was how she stead on the landmine, how her father and sisters died, how she came to the United States, etc.
The Diary of Anne Frank by Anne Frank highlights Anne and Peter’s contrasting outlooks on the war and their imprisonment in the Secret Annex. Anne uses nature and her connections to her life and the lives of others to understand and appreciate the world around her in a positive aspect. On the other hand, Peter’s anger at the Nazis for persecuting and restricting the rights of Jews and his frustration for having to stay cooped up in the Secret Annex causes him to view their situation in a negative aspect. The Diary of Anne Frank shows that even though there is so much evil in the world, ultimately, goodness, honesty, and morality will triumph because Anne waits to witness a change in the world and constantly hopes for a better tomorrow. “I
Based off my background of Zlata’s Diary and The Diary of Anne Frank, I can tell that Zlata and Anne Frank are very similar. One way they are similar is because they both went through war, and kept a diary of all their occurrences. A second similarity the both have is that their diary was basically like their best friend during the wars the went through. Lastly, they were both around the same age when they started the war and writing in their diaries.
