Appendix B
The novel, The Diary of a Young Girl (The Definitive Edition) written by Anne Frank is a moving story about a young girl’s experience during World War 2. The diary was written in Anne’s perspective shortly before her family was forced to go into hiding in a Secret Annex. The narrative begins with Anne Frank receiving the diary for her thirteenth birthday, June 12, 1942, writing her first entry stating, “I hope I will be able to confide everything to you, as I have never been able to confide in anyone, and I hope you will be a great source of comfort and support” (1). In the beginning, Anne discusses quit ordinary aspects of a traditional childhood. She talks about going to school, describing the people she likes, and all her admirers. Additionally, Anne goes on to mention the aspects of her life that have changed since the war began, and the restrictions that have been put on her do to her Jewish belief. For example, she tells us that all Jews are forced to wear a star on their clothing, as well she is not allowed to use public transportation, ride a bicycle, or drive a family car. She could only attend Jewish schools, and was not allowed to participate in
The Holocaust was a time of war where many families were separated from one another and many had died from this tragic event. Although, from the book “Diary of Anne Frank” a Jewish girl named Anne that had been affected by the Holocaust had said, “In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.” Even though Anne and her family faced many hardships during the Holocaust Anne still saw the good in it all, and after reading the book I have to agree with Anne’s quote. One of the main reasons of why I am siding with Anne is because of Peter’s actions throughout the book and how his actions rapidly changed once Anne showed kindness to him. However, I can see how some people may disagree with Anne’s quote throughout Mr. Van Daan’s horrible actions throughout the book.
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
The Crucible is a play written by Arthur MIller in 1959. This play is a dramatized story of the Salem witch trials that took place in 1962-1963. Lies and Deceit appears to be the Universal or main theme in this play. Abigail and the girls lies are the main reason why the Salem witch trials take place.
Anne Frank was born to Otto and Edith Frank in the late 1920’s, alongside her older sister, Margot Frank, who was born three years before Anne. This small family of four were just ordinary working class people trying to make a living like everyone else. Both Anne and Margot lover school and their friends. They both also really enjoyed writing, which included diary entries every day. Both girls, particularly Anne, wrote down every event and feeling she experienced. Which lead to the famous diary we now know to be of Anne Frank’s life during the Holocaust. Anne Frank’s spectacular ability to remain joyous and courageous through her outstanding struggle are displayed through the three main point of her life before the Holocaust, living in
During the Holocaust, many Jews suffered and died due to hitler's reign. Some were lucky enough to make it out, but others were not so lucky. The Franks are just one family that’s story went public. Anne Frank and her family hid out in an annex during the Holocaust, in fear of getting sent to concentration, or work camps or even killed. They didn’t expect to have to stay in the small attic space for long, but they ended up having to stay there for 25 months. They had set up a few people to help them that could get ration books to get them food, considering there was 8 people living there. There are many ways historical events changed the drama, the diary of Anne Frank. Two major ways that changed it were the changes in the mood throughout
Anne Frank born in Frankfurt, Germany is a Jewish girl who was a victim of the Holocaust, she was one amongst six million other persecuted Jews. “When Adolf Hitler’s anti-Semitism power began to expand across Europe it becomes increasingly more dangerous to be a Jew” (The Story of). As a result of this Anne went into hiding with her older sister, Margot Frank her parents, Otto and Edith Frank, accompanied by several other Jews, in a “building known as the secret annex” (The Story of). During her years in hiding Anne had experienced tremendous hardships, but despite that, she has managed to make a tremendous impact on the world through the writing in her personal diary. During World War II and leading up to it Jews were being discriminated against and captured, then put to work in death or concentration camps, because Hitler; the dictator at that time managed to convince most of Germany
However, as the novel progresses, Anne begins to see that some of these arguments could have been easily avoided and that she had a share in the blame. Anne believed that “parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person’s character lies in their own hands,” (Frank, 1944). Throughout the novel, she certainly embodied those wise words from her father. Her development is best displayed when she re-reads older entries in which she spoke about her mother. She explains that, “I have been trying to understand the Anne of a year ago,” (Frank, 1944). This hints to the fact that she has changed so deeply it is almost as if another person wrote those things. She then aims to understand but also self-evaluates. “I suffer now- and suffered then- from moods which kept my head under water (so to speak) and only allowed me to see the things subjectively without enabling me to consider quietly the words of the other side, and to answer them as the words of one whom I, with my hot headed temperament, had offended or made unhappy,” (Frank, 1944). Anne then continues to evaluate the situation even more strictly, and she realized her mother truly did love her but Anne hid “within herself,” (Frank, 1944). Many of the arguments were sparked due to stress from the situation. While she still assigns blame onto her mother, she accepts it as well.
Anne Frank was a Jew during WWII. She was born June 12, 1929 to Edith and Otto Frank. She had a passion for writing and wanted to start her own novel. She was given a journal for her thirteenth birthday on June 12, 1942. Her first entry was June 14, 1942. A few pages into Anne’s journal Anne states, “It’s an odd idea for someone like me to keep a diary; not only because I have never done so before, but because it seems to me that neither I-nor for that matter anyone else-will be interested in the unbosomings of a thirteen-year-old schoolgirl. (1)” The rest of the book is about her experiences in the “Secret Annex”.
Anne Frank, was born on June 12, 1929, and was 12 or 13 when Hitler raided Amsterdam and her family had to go into hiding. Anne’s family along with another Jewish family were covering for two years in a “Secret Annex” in the back of Frank’s father’s company building. Grievously, someone noted the German police and they were seized on August 4, 1944 and sent to a concentration camp. There her father was disconnected from the rest of the family. Soon her mother became sick and died. A few months after their mom passed Anne and her sister Margot both had typhus. Margot passed away in February and Anne followed shortly thereafter in March 1945. Their father, Otto was the only member of their family to survive the Holocaust. She was only 15 years old when she died. To me it is really sad that a young innocent girl’s life was ripped short because she was a Jew. She never had a chance to have a childhood of liberty like she would have had today.
“The Diary of Anne Frank” was a diary written by a young teenage girl during World War II. During World War II Jews were being sent to concentration camps, were being killed, or went into hiding. The Frank family, the Van Daan family, and Mr. Dussel were a few of the many families that went into hiding. They all hid in a Secret Annex in Mr. Frank’s business in Amsterdam. They went into hiding in the 1940’s for two years. In the time they had been in the Annex they had faced many conflicts, but still showed courage, compassion, and sacrificed a lot.
By June 12, 1942, Anne Frank had been alive for thirteen years; as a gift, she received a diary. Her thirteenth birthday present was used to record her thoughts and emotions built up over the two years that she and the others stayed hidden away in the secret annex after her sister, Margot Frank, was called to a German concentration camp. This, an excerpt from Anne Frank 's diary, displays the horror that was felt: “I was stunned. A call-up, everyone knows what that means. Visions of concentration camps and lonely cells raced through my head.” A normal teenage girl shouldn’t have to endure these types of things. It was courageous of Anne to even write in the diary. She is truthful about the horror of this historical event. She could have left out the gruesome details but if

Anne Frank was a young Jewish girl who had gone into hiding during World War 2, and the Holocaust. Anne and her family were able to hide for roughly two years in the Secret Annex. Throughout those years that they were hidden, Anne recorded most of what happened during that time. Then in 1944 they were found by the Green Police and taken to concentration camps. A year or two after they got to the concentration camps, everyone who lived in the Secret Annex had died, except for Otto Frank (Anne's father). He then later published Anne's diary. At the end of Anne's diary, she had stated, "In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart." I believe that Anne had wrote this because one, she and her father were really close and he always taught her to find the good in people/things rather than point out their flaws. Two, Anne was extremely optimistic, she always kept in her mind that they would survive the war and all live together once they left. Furthermore, Anne was also very forgiving to anyone she
The majority of adults are frightened to change the television channel while in the presence of children. Most adults are aware that when doing so, there is a great chance that a provocative scene may be on the screen at the time. These scenes should not be seen by a child. Furthermore, the reason these obscured scenes are on the television is because filmmakers are getting rich from them. Because of American popular culture, parents are worried to even allow their kids to watch television, a movie, etcetera.
During the devastating time of World War II, a Jewish teenage girl wrote a diary about the gruesome events she witnessed, this diary was named, Diary of a Young Girl, Anne Frank. Anne Frank lived in Holland and went into hiding when her sister, Margot, got a letter to go to a reception camp. The Franks faced terrifying moments during hiding. They witnessed war outside their window and stayed in the same house without even going outside for about two years.To add on, the Franks had to keep in mind how every day they could be arrested or even die. Sadly Anne and her family are arrested and are sent to Auschwitz, a concentration camp where she would later die. While in hiding, the Franks and the Van Daans, who were also in hiding with them,
