How do you picture someone that is good at heart? Maybe you see them as a hero that saved someone’s life, but a person can do the slightest deed and still be considered good at heart. In “The Diary of Anne Frank,” there were many characters that contributed to the theme that people are good at heart. The characters not only developed the theme through their words, but they also developed the theme through their actions. “The Diary of Anne Frank,” was a diary that was written by Anne Frank during the time of World War II and the Holocaust. The diary gave us real life information from the time of that devastating event. This play showed us that many people are good at heart, but the theme was mostly developed through the characters Anne Frank, Miep Gies, and Mr. Frank.

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

Frank, Mrs. Frank, Margot Frank, Anne Frank, Mrs. Van Daan, Mr. Van Daan, Peter Van Daan, and Mr. Dussel. There were two characters that were not hiding but helped the group their names were Miep and Mr. Kraler. The evil in this group was how they treated each other when another was at fault. In the play, Mrs. Van Daan let Anne wear her nice fur coat that she got from her father and Anne accidentally got some milk on it. She got mad at Anne but that is reasonable but she was angry with everyone else for no reason which is not fair towards the other people in the house. The good in the group would mostly come from Mr. Frank because he was a leader towards the group and tried to solve all the problems. A part of the play Mr. Frank tried to reason with everyone so that they were all happy and would stay happy in the Annex. Although there were lots of people in the Annex they all tried and cope with each other in a reasonable matter.

The STARS program is a process that most students have not even heard about, as a first time student myself, I was not even aware that the program existed. Most people might wonder what STARS is, for instance, STARS, however, stands for “Statewide Transfer and Articulation Reporting System.” It is an agreement that mostly a two-year college and most public four-year colleges in Alabama has that give all the transferring of courses taken to a public university in Alabama. In addition, most student wonder how to connect to STARS through their school site, it is an easy process; most colleges will have a link at the top of their website that will lead straight to the STARS site.

Annemarie showed numerous examples of conflict throughout the book, but the most important scenes were when the soldiers stopped Annemarie and Ellen around the corner, when the German soldiers came to the apartment, and right before she went on the dark path. Early in the text, Annemarie was running along the paths in Copenhagen when two soldiers stopped them. The German soldiers shouted the frightening word, “HALTE.”(p.2) For example, Annemarie was extremely frightened but still she, “looked into the face of the soldier who had ordered her to halt.” (p.2)

Hans is a passionate, caring man who earns his living as a house painter by day and an accordion player by night. Liesel believes his eyes show kindness, and is closer to him from the beginning than to her foster mother. He is one of a few in their village who is not a registered member of the Nazi party, which comes to have serious repercussions on the family as the book progresses. Rosa Hubermann is a stern, strong woman who looks like a “wardrobe with a coat thrown over it” and would be “cute,” but appears perpetually annoyed. She peppers her language with epithets like “Saumensch” and “Saukerl” and “Arschloch”. “Sau” refers to “pig” and mensch is girl and kerl is man, arschloch sounds pretty close to its English equivalent. From the beginning Liesel is “saumensch,” which at first refers to Rosa’s annoyance at taking this girl in, even though it does mean more money for the family. But by the end, it has become a term of true endearment. Liesel’s best friend in the village is a little boy named Rudy, “the boy next door who was obsessed with the black American athlete Jesse Owens.” Rudy is in love with Liesel and always pesters her for a kiss, which he does finally receive, after some pretty serious turns in the story. He is a simple, almost naïve boy, and would do almost anything for her, including jumping into a nearly
