Diary Of Anne Frank Literary Analysis

To begin with, Anne and Peter’s personalities have many similarities and differences. Anne is very outgoing, talkative, and optimistic.On page 728 Anne is talking to Mr.Dussel and in their conversation about allergies she says, “How dreadful. You must be terribly lonely”. If Anne was outgoing she probably wouldn't have had the courage to talk to Mr.Dussel like that, or at all. On the other hand, Peter's personality is quiet, respectful, and more reserved than Anne’s. When Anne gave Peter a present for Mousci, he said

But now that she’s ten years old a lot has changed. She’s very hard working and determined when it comes to her school work and running. She wasn’t quiet but at the same time wasn’t always as much of a chatterbox like her sister Kristi. Annemarie would do anything for somebody that meant the most to her. And if it wasn’t for her, Ellen and her parent’s would be gone. Her role in the book was very major, because in the time of need she was the only one left to finish the task of saving her friend. And without thinking about herself she did what had to be done. She was selfless and saw the little things in life as the big things. Annemarie lived her life full of excitement no matter what was going on in the real world, the grown up

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

First I will talk about Peter and Anne, in the play Peter and Anne's first impressions were that they disliked each other because there personalities were polar opposite, Anne is a very talkative, energetic girl and Peter is a shy, introverted boy. Some differences between the book and the play is Peter is a very kind, clumsy kid in the book but, in the play he's a fiery hot-headed kid. Also Anne is more disrespectful and rude to her parents and the other adults in the play, but in the book she keeps more of her anger towards her mom and the other adults to herself, she doesn't really disrespect them as much. Some similarities of Peter in the book and the play is, that he tries to shy away from everyone and keep to himself and he really only plays with his cat Mouchi or talks to Anne. Some

There are many ways that Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett use to characterize all of the people in “the Diary of Anne Frank”. One way they do this is by showing how Anne is a girl who is interested in everything. “she is thirteen, quick in her movements, interested in everything, mercurial in her emotions.” (Hackett and Goodrich 705). This shows us exactly how Anne’s personality is. Another character that they tell the reader about their personality is Peter Van Daan. “ he is a shy, awkward boy of sixteen…” (Goodrich and Hackett 704). This tells the reader about Peter and how is shy, quiet, and how old he is also. These are a few examples of characterization in the story “the Diary of Anne Frank”

Mrs.Frank has courage when they have to go into hiding she fills in every one with courage as bad things happen threw out the time they live in the annex. She was frightened but also very sweet and generous when knew people came in. Mrs.Frank did not understand Anne that well but loved her very much and had courage in her daughters and family and friends no matter what condition they were in.

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

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

While staying in the annex Anne has made a new friendship with Peter (Hackett and Goodrich). Them becoming friends made living in the annex more bearable, for both Anne and Peter. Anne has also improved her relationship with her mother. Their relationship grew by her and her mother trying to understand each other more. Her and her father’s relationship grew more also. Anne would always go to her father for advice or just to make her feel better when her mother or other people living in the annex would make comments about her and how she should be

Anne struggles with her identity and developing herself as a person. Anne believes that she is a good person but because of her confinement she is not able to reach her full potential. Anne never get the chance to reach her full potential and never gets the chance of becoming the good person she has in mind.

The students who wrote The Freedom Writer’s Diary went through a miraculous change not only in their education, but also in their outlook on life. The teenagers in this book express no interest in school and have already accepted their life of pain and failure. As the book goes on and their teacher, Ms.Gruwell, teaches them the importance of literature, and soon their whole opinion on school has changed. The kids made a real connection with the story of Anne Frank, in that she had been discriminated against, and put through a war because of it. The students have also been discriminated against because of their race or family history, their whole lives. After reading this book the students drew hope and strength from Anne Frank, because they

Discrimination is now becoming a well-known term around the world; many acknowledge it from the time they came across: sexism, racism, ageism, and the type Anne Frank came across, persecution. Anne Frank was a thirteen-year-old Jewish girl who was hiding from the German Army or the Nazi’s, as they are better recognized back then. Her life story consisted of constantly escaping and being in isolation from those who wanted her dead; it was a difficult time to live in. Anne Frank was attacked because of her differences; Adolf Hitler (leader of the Nazi’s) was killing anyone who was not classified as “pure” or part of the “superior race”.

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

At first, Anne was terrified to go into hiding but her positivity and hope showed and taught many people lessons on how you should look at life. Anne had such a big influence on the people who read her diary. The play that was constructed off of her diary writings really lets us understand how and what Anne was feeling along with the others in the house. The Franks in addition to their friends, had people who helped them out while they were in hiding. This is one reason why Anne would have thought that people were really good at heart. One prime example is Miep Gies. She helped the Franks even though she was not faithful in the Jewish religion. Meip replenished everyone in the group by bringing them what they needed. She had a well thought out tactic that helped her be able to bring supplies to the secret annex. She never gave up on them and helped them through their entire hiding. This shows that people may not believe in the same things as you, but deep in their heart, they are willing to help anyone in need. The group of people hiding in the secret annex was in need, they had no way of getting food or any other supplies. This is where Miep came in to help them. She brought them the food, plus all of the supplies that they needed, therefore, making them live much longer than they should have. In the play, you could tell how happy the family was to see her. On page 326, we read, “Thank you, Miepia. You shouldn’t have done it.” this was

The title relates to the book because Anne Frank was a young girl who wrote in her diary daily. The book itself, is actually her diary. She filled it out every day between the ages of 13 and 16. In her diary she would tell the reader what she did or how bored she was. She never missed a day, even if it wasn’t the best day of her life. She talked about what she was learning in school, what she ate, how her and her family were affected by the war, and she talked a lot about boys. I admire her for keeping a diary in her situation, since she couldn’t go anywhere or see her friends, she would call her diary “Kitty”, and it was her best friend. She told her diary everything, how she felt about her family living in the secret annexe, how she didn’t like the certain people she was living with, and how her day was going. In her book she talked about how every other Jew was going into concentration camps, and their lives were miserable, and how she desperately wanted to help them in any way. The diary held many secrets that no one in the secret annexe knew about. How she didn’t get along with her sister or mother, but she acted fine about it with them around but when she wrote in her diary, she only spoke the truth and how she felt. Her feelings made you think that you were part of her family feeling scared, sad, and mad. They felt many feelings towards each other because her mom and her didn’t really get along that well and that put a negative feeling in the annexe.
