The title of the text is “Anne meets her class”. The author’s name is Dora Jessie Saint, best known by pen-name Miss Reed, she is an English novelist. The text is extract from the novel “Fresh from the Country”, the story of a young country girl who has taken a first teaching job in the big city.
The text tells us about first day of a young teacher at school. She was introduced to her new class by the headmistress. At that moment Anne felt helpless and embarrassed. The headmistress, Miss Enderby, is imperious and strict person, she spoke in an imperative tone and with children and with Anne. When

When Miss Enderby gave Anne final instructions I think Anne felt reassurance because Miss Enderby was very polite and she said that she could depend on her. In my opinion in school Anne was attentive and diligent student, she was active and had good relations with teachers. When the headmistress went out and the noise grew in volume, because the children communicate with each other very animatedly, Anne remembered advice given her at college in such a situation: to stand still and to be calm and gradually children will notice that you are waiting. Such advice could give her one of her teachers.
Plot structure of the text is direct. It consists of the exposition: “Anne meets her class”; the beginning of the plot: “Miss Enderby goes out of the class”; plot complications begin with the phrase “Anne gave watery smile” and end with the phrase “Anne advanced into action”; the climax of the text is considered in the following phrase: “To your desks!” she roared, “And quickly.” and the denouement: “Anne’s self-esteem crept back”.
My attitude to Anne is positive. Reading this extract I understood that she is good-natured and modest person and treats with respect to other people. What about the text itself? Unfortunately we don’t know the continuation of the story, but
After reading chapter one of the book I learned that Ann Moody provided the readers with great information pertaining her life at the age of four. In chapter one, Anne considerably supplied the readers with the time, setting, and
Helena Maria Viramontes utilizes selection of detail throughout the passage characterize Estrella’s curiosity as well as her perplexity and frustration. At the start of the work, Viramontes begins with “Estrella hated” – a phrase that quickly distinguishes the vehement detestation of her hatred of being kept in the dark. Estrella’s frustration is further depicted how she was “very angry” – a term used to reinforce her exasperation. Estrella soon begins an anecdote, detailing her experience at school where she is made to feel ashamed of her appearance yet she constantly questions why she receives this treatment from her teachers, an example of Estrella’s persistence to fully understand. When Estrella recalls how “the desks in the back of the classroom for
Anne's was a life filled with significant events. The trial and home confinement of her father was the most significant of her childhood. The education she received from her father at this time would prepare her well for her own trial. She had a deep confidence in
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
The girl’s inner characterization resembles a coming of age character. She develops because of the action and her traits as a child are presented in contrast with her traits as a teenager. This contrast is emphasized using the third-person narrator at the beginning of
It is clear that Anne no longer cared for the group ultimately betraying and risking the life of everyone in the group. This effected many people such as Anne herself because she ended up taking her life because she did not the trust the group also the whole group need to stay more alarmed just in case anyone found out about their skills.
“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
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
Anne was curious about why murders, lynching and mysterious fires were taking place in and around her community. Every time she went to her mother for advice or discussion on race relations, she was immediately redirected to a subject less controversial. If Anne wanted to figure any of these issues out, she was going to have to do it on her own.
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.
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
In the beginning, Anne was a very outgoing, happy girl. She was very immature and tried looking
Characterization showed the true personality of Miss Emily and how her father’s death shaped her. The many issues in this short story all started at how Miss Emily was raised. She was raised to only rely on her father, who was very protective over her. When
Anne is figuring out the different aspects of her gender identity. She is taking on new life roles everyday. She must balance her time between being a student, friend, co-worker, lover, all the while making the transition from child to adult. She has been having trouble making the transition from childhood to adulthood. After high school she was holding on to her childhood for dear life but now is learning how to let go and move on.
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
