Imagine being trapped in a room, isolated from the world, with only your family. Would you be a perfect little angel, or would you freak out? In the play version of Diary of Anne Frank, we get mixed reactions to the matter. But most importantly, the playwrights make sure to highlight Anne Frank’s mistakes. Why do the playwrights do this? And how exactly do they show Anne’s mistakes throughout the play? I think the playwrights chose to do this so they could make a more interesting play and keep the play historically accurate. To start off with, Anne Frank is a young girl. Would a story of a perfect 13 years old be realistic at all? No one would be able to relate to that, and the play would not be as interesting as it would be if it were relatable. This play shows the typical teenage behavior of Anne yelling at her mother. There is a part where she writes about her mom jumping into a lake. Who can’t relate to that? A play of serious people in hiding is likely to bring a sad mood, which is good for a different kind of play. These playwrights wanted to bring a little bit of humor into the play. …show more content…
One example is when Anne spills milk on Mrs. Van Daan’s precious jacket. This event showed that
Anne is not perfect. She is making a bad situation even worse. Mrs. Van Daan was a pretty annoying character throughout the play, but she is still an adult. She also stays in the attic too long numerous times, which still shows rebellious
During the Anne Frank play and the Anne Frank movie, Anne Frank: The Whole Story, a viewer could notice difference in the personality and actions of the main character, Anne Frank, and whether the portrayals of the well know icon were accurate and fair. Some difference in the movie and play between the Annes are: her love life and her attitude. Her love life is much more exaggerated in the play, where, since Peter is the only boy around, she tries to pursue him early on. Like when she got Peter to tackle her after she teased him. But, in the film, she is seen to have a curiosity directed towards him, and is shown to be less forward.

The play of “The diary of Anne Frank” by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, it tells a story and the life of Anne Frank and what it was like for her and her family during the Holocaust.

This of course makes Anne jealous and makes Anne more jealous of Margot.
Book or Play? There's always differences and similarities between them both, in this essay I will compare and contrast the Anne Frank book and the Anne Frank play.

She talks about living in the Secret Annexe and the different relationships she built with the seven other people living with her whether it be good or bad.

I especially enjoyed seeing how Anne talked to her parents because I liked comparing the way she spoke to her to the way I speak to my parents and how my friends speak to their parents. Even in the play Anne talked about how she wasn’t going to be like her mom talking to her parents, no “yes ma’am”s or “of course mother”s. Just seeing that showed how much even at that time families had changed, and then looking at how much we’ve evolved since is amazing.
One way includes that she was humble during the inception of the play and towards the end of the play, her patience began to thin out for certain people. In the beginning of the play, Mrs. Frank was very quiet and she didn’t say very much at all. In fact, the only time that she did speak was to correct Anne. “Anne, dear, I think you shouldn’t play like that with Peter.
The Diary of Anne Frank gives a good example about how people from that time witnessed the things around them. Throughout the play, the characters are often experiencing new things in the world even though they are hiding in the attic. They face new challenges that also revolve around the changes in the world at that time. Anne and her family are often scared, worried, or sad in most of the story. The author uses these feeling to display what is going on in the outside world. For example, in one point of the story, there was a loud crash and the characters became worried that they have been caught by the green police. In another point in the play, Mrs. Van Daan becomes worried that the Frank family has been caught because they didn’t show up to the attic on time.

Changes happen to all of us. The change may be good or it may be bad. We all experience changes and the changes reflect how we think, act, or talk in society. Every change is different and every change has different outcomes. In The Diary of a Young Girl, Anne Frank change quite a lot throughout the story. She was very different from everyone else who hid with her in the annex, in good ways and bad ways. As she grows, she changes her personality, her mentality, and, most importantly, her emotions. She wanted to be respected and didn’t want to cause trouble, even though she did. As time went by, she started to change her emotions and felt more empathy.
Many people were hurt by Adolf Hitler's plans and one thing he achieved was killing six million Jewish people including children. Anne Frank and her family were one of them. They lived in a secret and tiny annex where Otto used to work. They started off just going to stay there for a few months till the Allied Forces could invade Holland but that didn’t work out. In the drama wrote by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett eight people crowded into annex for 2 long years not being able to go outside. Many historical events were impacted in the drama Anne Frank. Even though these problems took place outside of the secret annex it changed the mood and relationships of the character.
Many people have had a great deal of criticism over the Diary of Anne Frank. From great authors to simple students, all have had their own perspective and view on this
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
