The Emotions Throughout The Diary Of Anne Frank

Anne had always maintained a close relationship with her mother. She respected her work ethic and her determination to raise her family the best she could. Yet most young women face a time in their lives when their relationship with their mother is strained. This somewhat natural occurrence took place, but was intensified by Anne's own discovery of how the world really worked, in terms of race relations. I think that Anne always found her mother's lack of communication, regarding the race situation, as a weakness. This created more distrust for her mother at an already vulnerable time in her life.

Anne Frank does not hate her mother, as she clearly states, “Anne, is it really you who mentioned hate? Oh, Anne, how could you!” In this statement, Anne is stating that she does not like the way she acted before she “matured.” Therefore, Anne is saying she is beginning to like her mother more and does not hate her as it might of seemed she had.

The first part of the diary starts with her being a regular girl having fun and turns into a girl going into hiding with seven other people. In addition, she has to deal with relation problems with her mom, sister, and the people she is in hiding with. The problems begin when eight people are confined in a small area and everybody begins to irritate and annoy one another. Anne was especially concerned with herself and with her attitude towards the others in the group. She's mainly concerned with her mother who always treats her like baby. Mr. Frank tires to ease the quarrels between them by telling Anne to help out more around the house, but Anne stubbornly declines preferring to concentrate more on her studies. She especially gets plenty of confrontations with Mrs. Van Daan who thinks she is a spoiled little girl. Mrs. Van Daan constantly tells Anne’s father, “ If Anne were my daughter.” Anne’s respond to this in her diary was, “Thank heavens I’m not!” Of course

Throughout her time of hiding, Anne had a diary where she could express her thoughts and feelings about the situation. She wrote down what was happening, how she feels about what's happening, and her opinions on the people she is living with. Her opinion of her mother changed as they were there. For what I can tell before hiding, Anne loved and cared for her mother as much as anyone else in her family. As time went on, her mother was unbearable to Anne. Anne wrote, "Mother is unbearable. She insists on treating me like a baby." Anne says this because she believes that she is able to

Anne matures throughout the course of her diary entries, moving from detailed accounts of basic activities to deeper, more profound thoughts about humanity and her own personal nature. “I know what I want, I have a goal, an opinion, I have a religion and love. Let me be myself and then I am satisfied. I know that I’m a woman, a woman with inward strength and plenty of courage.” This shows that Anne matures through the course of her diary, she considers herself as a woman rather than a young girl and sets goals for herself that she wants to achieve. Anne becomes more optimistic even after she feels misunderstood by everyone and feels completely alone.

There are many different ways Anne's attitude affected everyone in that attic. She was always cheerful and upbeat. She proves this saying "You know the way I'm going to think of it here? I'm going to think of it as a boarding house. A very peculiar summer boarding house." The way Anne talks about the attic proves that she can find the silver lining in everything. She might not be the happiest girl in the world, but she will try her hardest to prove to others that she is. Anne knows she may spend a long time in this place. She decides to look at the bright side of her situation and tries to make everything better than it actually is. Everybody really needed Anne around to make their situation less stressful and to have a little fun. Anne was a very popular girl at her old school. She had many friends and preoccupations but now she had a few rooms to go in for what would turn out to be two whole years. So to go through this much of a change and still have a wonderful attitude is amazing. She had her rights stripped from her as a little girl and was still a gleeful and

A major influence on Anne’s positivity was her father. Anne viewed her relationship with Otto Frank to be the closest in her life. In her diary she even said, “I love you father. I don't love anyone but you.” Throughout their forced captivity, Anne witnessed the compassion her father showed to others. Otto demonstrated kindness by inviting the Van Daans and Mr Dussel to live in the annex with them. Her father knew the risks of inviting more people to hide with them but he set aside the concerns about having enough food, or enough space, or even the threat of being betrayed because it

During this scene, Anne confessed that she had a nice side, but she was scared to show it. She would be nice, but she did not know what people would think about her. I think this is a big act of kindness because when you dig deeper and read on, you can find that she told Mr.Frank that the mean Anne comes out and the nice Anne stays on the inside. This shows how hard she has tried and nothing would work, she was kind hearted and felt differently

Changes happen to all of us. The change may be good or it may be bad. We all experience changes and the changes reflect how we think, act, or talk in society. Every change is different and every change has different outcomes. In The Diary of a Young Girl, Anne Frank change quite a lot throughout the story. She was very different from everyone else who hid with her in the annex, in good ways and bad ways. As she grows, she changes her personality, her mentality, and, most importantly, her emotions. She wanted to be respected and didn’t want to cause trouble, even though she did. As time went by, she started to change her emotions and felt more empathy.

Remember that she is only a young teenager, and that she’s likely not aware of all the danger she’s truly in. Because of this, there is a huge impact on how she thinks of others. It’s a lot easier for her to believe that people are all good at heart this way. In her diary, Anne once said “I don’t think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains,” this quote shows how Anne recognizes all the hate and sadness in the world, but she always tries to look past it and see the beauty that is still there. This also shows Anne’s viewpoint on people, and how, unlike her, most people first see the flaws of other people, but she always tried to look past the poor parts and see the best in people. Also this is seen in the play, such as we saw how she is caring for her sister and father. That is the last piece of evidence I have that shows that Anne was a positive

love with Anne; "Peter loves me not as a lover but as a friend and

The Diary of Anne Frank shows the changes in behavior and maturity for the main character, Anne, as she stays in the annex for two years.In Act I, Anne was more energetic and playful as a thirteen-year-old. Act I Scene 3 highlights Anne’s playful and clumsy behavior by talking about her pranks. On page 552, it states “Anne: Who cares if it’s dignified? I don’t want to be dignified. Mrs. Frank: [To Anne] You complain that I don’t treat you like a grownup. But when I do, you resent it” (Goodrich and Hackett 552). This shows that Anne is not ready to be treated like an adult. She dislikes when her mother expects her to be mature and she has a teenage mentality. She does not care that her behavior is not dignified and mature. She wants to have fun and frolic, much like what a child would want. Therefore, in the beginning of Act I, Anne acts childish and immature. However, in Scene 4 of Act II, it mentions how Anne has matured. “She is no longer a child, but a woman with courage to meet whatever lies ahead” (634). This quote shows that change that Anne has gone through as a

“In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart,”, Anne says in lines 1928-1931. You’re probably mentally conceiving, how could anyone still believe that all people are civil? It’s quite simple, Anne was an exceptional puerile girl, thirteen to be precise, at the time she was driven into obnubilating. She left a place where she could run and play and make as much noise as possible, she just wanted to do that again. Another reason is, she was highly optimistic. When reading the play you learn quite expeditiously that Anne is genuinely ebullient. She was the type of gal who could never sit “buttoned up”, you could say.She was always endeavoring to find the effulgent sides to her situations. She was always trying

In the play, The Diary of Anne Frank, Anne is a dynamic character who is disrespectful and immature in the beginning of the play. When Anna had a nightmare in the beginning of the play, her mother came into her room to comfort her. Her mother offered Anne water and to stay with her until she fell asleep, but Anne said it wasn’t necessary to stay. When Mrs. Frank stated, “But I’d like to start with you . . . Very much. Really.” Anne replied, “I’d rather you didn’t” (398). This scene demonstrates Anne is both immature and rude because she rejects her mother’s help. Her mother is likely very hurt by this rejection, especially since, as her mother leaves the room, Anne asks for her father instead. In the end of the play, Anne shows she is a dynamic character by displaying the character traits brave and thoughtful. While Peter and Anne

In the beginning Anne and her Mother can’t really connect or seem to agree on anything. Anne’s Mother is always scolding her for being too rambunctious and not acting like a nice,respectful, and young lady. For example: “ You don’t hear Margot getting into arguments with them do you? Watch Margot. She’s always
