Everyone’s life has changed when they had to go into hiding, when their time came. They were scared and didn’t know what to do, they no longer had a life to live anymore. Anne was motivated to strive for change when she and her family were separated by her family. Not being able to see everyone she loved and not being with them anymore. She wanted to be different from everyone and go out and do things on her own, by writing. In hiding Anne found comfort through writing, about anything and everything. She loved to write short stories and was rewriting her journal, while they were in hiding. Writing helped Anne escape into an alternate world, free of worry. “I can shake off everything as I write; my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn” …show more content…
Anne lived through a horrible tragedy no child should have ever experience. “Families are torn apart: men and children are separated. Children come back from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return from shopping to find their houses sealed, their families gone.” Anne Frank. When families are separated it’s hard on them. They don’t know what had happened or could have stopped it. All they know is that they are gone, and they don’t know when or if they are coming back. When families are pulled apart it makes them about one another, so a positive attitude can make a huge difference. A positive attitude can change others’ outlook. “Whoever is happy will make others happy.” Anne Frank. If at least one person is happy, then they can change the minds of others.That are having a hard time. When one happy person is around, they become happy, and all their thoughts become good thoughts. After families got separated they didn’t know if they were going to find each other again. If they were alive or not. After everything blown over with the camps and hitler, Anne knew she was going to become a writer if she made it out alive. But her story, may ended at a young age, her father continued through with her plan on becoming a
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.
“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.
The Author came out with a strong out look on the situation of Anne Franks Development. Anne Frank was a little girl who lived in Amsterdam with her Father, they lived a normal life until the Holocaust took place and for forced Anne into hiding. Sadly the Nazis found out about the Franks hiding and who they were staying with, Otto Frank was they only one who survived. Anne Frank knew that she would even be living a sad and scary life. "Anne’s Voice. I expect I should be describing what it feels like to go into hiding. But I really don’t know yet myself. I only know it’s funny never to be able to go outdoors . .
To begin, Anne was a selfless, outgoing, and positive young girl that had to live in hiding. Anne was always positive during the time of the war,
Throughout her time in the “Secret Annexe,” (what she called their hiding space) Anne grew from a hot-headed child into a smart young woman. In the beginning of the book, only 2 months after going into hiding, she writes that feels grateful that her and her family have been spared the fate of some of her friends, however this also makes her feel guilty, because she can’t save those who didn’t get the chance to go into hiding. In her diary, on November 19, 1942, she wrote,“We’re so fortunate here, away from the turmoil. We wouldn’t have to give a moment’s thought to all this suffering if it weren’t for the fact that we’re so worried about those we hold dear, whom we can no longer help. I feel wicked sleeping in a warm bed, while somewhere out there my dearest friends are dropping from exhaustion or being knocked to the ground.” (paragraph 5 pg 55)
Anne had a heart filled with hope and had a bright future ahead of her, as the war progressed she began to see the suffering of the people around her. Everyone did love her personality. She was very curious, talkative, and playful and was lots of fun to be around. Anne had a hunger for knowledge and was very optimistic. Writing was always her favorite thing. It calmed her from the rages of the world, she could just write and be herself. When she went into hiding she lived in a place called the Secret Annex. A Secret Annex was a building that was placed between two buildings. The first floor was Otto Frank's business and the second was the hiding spot. The real name in Dutch meant behind or back, so in the diary, they used the term Secret Annex. For over 2 years she lived in the secret home, and that is when she got her journal at the age of 13. Almost every day she would write about her current life and the things going on around her. She would write about how much she missed her friends from school and often missed being outside out in the open air. When the Van Pels moved in they had a son named Peter, Anne would play around with Peter, take his shoes and hide them. She thought it was very amusing, Peter didn't quite think so.
Anne has very early memories of writing in her life. The first time that she is able to recall memories of storytelling was at age 3. When she was unable to sleep at night, she would crawl into bed, get under the covers, and tell herself stories until she was able to fall asleep. She made her first “book” at the age of 7. It was a collection of all of the stories that she had written and pictures she had drawn. It wasn’t until the age of 11 that Anne Tyler's family had moved from Minnesota to North Carolina. She had never attended a public school, let alone seen a telephone. Her unorthodox upbringing gave her the ability to view the world at a completely different point of view. She was able to view it from a
Have you ever thought about having to go into hiding at such a young age? Anne Frank has been just 13 years old when she and her family went into hiding to avoid being sent to a camp by the Nazis. During the two years she spent living in an attic in the Secret Annex, she kept a diary, in which she called "Kitty". After the war, Anne's father, the only family member to survive the concentration camp the family was eventually sent to, chose to publish the diary that Anne had written through the years when her family was in hiding. She made the statement, "In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart." Anne felt this way even during the times that she has been through. I believe that Anne was hopeful, powerful, and strong willed.
Anne Frank was a young, Jewish girl who lived during the time of the Nazi Regime. She, along with every Jew, suffered from the Nazi's Anti-Semitic laws, and the Franks were forced into hiding. They were able to hide for two years, until they were discovered and sent to concentration camps. Before, she documented her time in hiding in a journal which revealed her true self and the reality around her. By reading Anne's diary, we can identify the major events and influences that helped shape her life and identity.
The first thing that will be talked about is the mood of the story. The mood changes a lot throughout the story. A historical event that proves this is “It’s the silence in the nights that frightens me the most. Everytime I hear a creak in the house, or a step on the street outside, I’m sure they’re coming for us.” This event impacts the drama by making the people scared for their lives not to get caught. The direct quote “For the first time Anne realizes what ‘going into hiding’ means.” This supports the thesis because now Anne knows what it’s actually going to be like while in hiding. It’s giving her a dark reality check and changing her mood. When Anne’s mood changes she does different things, when she is scared she panics and when she is happy she is loud and outgoing.
Anne led a happy and normal childhood, and on her 13th birthday she received a diary from her parents. It became special to her as years went by. It is through this diary that much about World War II and Anne's life has been learned.
Anne was born on June 12, 1929. she had a sister Margot, a mom and dad, Otto Frank and Edith Frank. The Frank family lived in Germany before the war started. Once Hitler came to power the Frank family went into hiding in Amsterdam, Netherlands. When the family went into hiding Anne was only 13 years old. The Franks went into a secret room in Otto Frank's work. The room was called a secret annex, the secret annex was meant to keep the frank family out of sight from the Nazis. The frank family was in hiding for more than two years. They were forced to live on very little food, and they were barely allowed to move during the day when Otto's coworkers were underneath them. For the Frank's they were not allowed to go outside, so they had help from two people that they trusted very much. Those two people were Miep Gies, and Mr. Kraler one of Mr. Frank's closest friends. They family even had to celebrate Hanukkah in the secret annex. Here is my viewpoint on why I think Anne was such an inspirational individual in the holocaust at only the age of 13.Anne got her diary when the war started. The only reason that we have the information that we do is because of her diary. She got the diary from her dad. Every day she would write in it how she felt that day. The only way that the franks could hear what is going on in the war is a single radio in the middle of the
The struggles that a person endures makes for a strong character. The thoughts and actions of Anne Frank that are included in her diary allowed me to change my perspective on the world forever. She has described her thoughts, worries, and dreams while hiding from the Nazis, with another Jewish family, in an annex for two years. After reading this story, I have realized that I have taken many things for granted, such as having a home, an abundant supply of food, and most importantly, freedom. Although she had a lack of many supplies, she held her head high, never gave up hope, was always optimistic, and believed the idea that all people are good at heart.
Do you ever get mad when your parents say you can’t do something or go anywhere? Well, imagine how Anne feels being isolated in that room all day long, every day. The story "Diary of Ann Frank" reveals what it’s like to transition from childhood to adulthood in the modern life. The theme of the story is living in oppression and how it affects Anne as a person, both physically and emotionally. For two years, Anne and her family along with another family are locked up in hiding in a secret loft. “The diary of Anne Frank” shows us that sometimes family is all we got but we have to make the best of it and be thankful we have our family. Anne Frank quoted “we all eat and read like one family” (page 230) This statement tells us that no matter what
