When Anne Frank says that, “Everything she does is right, ,and everything I do is wrong!” I think as a result of Margot being a goody-two-shoe because she doesn’t obtain in trouble and she is beloved by her mother, reasons why she is always right. I think that Anne Frank feels like everyone is against her like she doesn’t belong there, again since her saying the word “goat” describes how she thinks that she doesn’t belong in the Secret Annex with her friends and family. I also think that she feels like everyone won’t accept her, even though she tries so much, by her saying that, “You’re all against me!” meaning that everyone in the Secret Annex won’t accept or are against…
Imagine that you are thirteen and are trapped in a small apartment for several years with your parents and other families. What would your attitude towards your parents be like? This is what thirteen year old Anne Frank had to deal with, and she had an especially poor behavior towards her parents. Anne’s disrespectful behavior in the 1940’s has some similarities and differences to the behavior of teenagers today. Anne’s behavior towards her parents can be compared to some behavior of kids today.…
The play named The diary of Anne Frank tells the story of a teenage girl who is hiding from the nazis during World War ll. In this play, Anne struggles with growing up and finding her independence while in an attic with seven other people and a cat. In recent years, a movie version of Anne’s life has adapted the ideas and events from this play. In this movie, the audience sees Anne transition from her normal life in Amsterdam to her life in the Secret Annex. Although the play and the movie of Anne Frank’s life have different settings, both have the same characters and conflicts.…
Not understanding her mother’s wishes, Anne mistakes her mother’s intensions. Rather than thinking of her family’s safety, Anne selfishly thinks of herself. “I was so damn mad after her letter, I felt like taking the NAACP convention to Centreville” (Moody 284). She acted like the typical defiant teenager, or a three-year-old, deliberately disobeying her parents. Moody thought that her mother’s reason to keep her in the house when she returned home was because Moody did not come home often; and so her mother wanted to spend as much time with her.…
To begin with, Anne Frank, a Jewish girl, was an influential writer who’s diary became published after the end of World War Two. She was forced to hide in a place called the “Secret Annex,” which was an attic above the building her dad worked in. Because she hid in this concealed location with her family, Anne was able to postpone having to be sent to concentration camps. During her time…
Anne Frank was more than very caring for the people she was hiding in the secret annex with. Anne went up against her own mother. Just to defend the people she was rooming with. She cried," Mother you're not putting Peter out. Peter hasn't done anything."…
In her diary, Anne Frank, much like George Orwell, has a “desire to push the world in a certain direction” and to emphasize the kind of society other people should begin to strive toward. A Jewish teenager living in Holland during the Holocaust, Anne is forced into hiding and must bear witness the atrocities and anti-semitism brought forth by Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. Using a diary she received for her birthday, she recounts her life during the Holocaust and her views on the world and how they gradually change as time goes on. Anne doesn’t actively strive to change the world or society too an extreme, however she does give the reader insight on how she felt during this time in her life and how things should be different. By using repetition,…
January 30, 1933, the holocaust started. It affected 6 million jews and just under 6 million various other people in Europe. The Frank family, the Van Daans, and Mr.Dussel went into hiding. The conditions were tough, everyone had feared, and they couldn't sleep at night. Each person had mixed feelings about the Secret Annex and their situation.…
But in the diary, Mrs. Van Daan gets into large amounts of arguments. Anne says,”Mummy agreed with this too. But Mrs. Van Daan had to add, as always, her ideas on the subject (33).”Anne also describes Mrs. Van Daan as moody and she wrote,”Mrs. Van Daan had another tantrum. She is terribly moody (30).”…
How do people deal with conflict? this is a question often asked by many people. So, how do we deal with conflict? is it by overlooking the problem until it fixes itself? or is it by gathering people together to fix it as a whole.…
People are always charming around others, but if one sees the greater picture of another’s intentions, their view might change on that individual. Anne Frank once said, “In spite of everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.” Ms. Frank has been through a lot during her childhood, and it is very surprising to hear her say those words after what Adolf Hitler did to her and her family. Once Adolf Hitler rose to power, situations got worse for certain social groups, especially for the Jewish. He began to throw them into concentration camps and execute most of them.…
The most surprising, interesting or useful piece of information learned through reading Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl, by Eleanor Roosevelt was the difference between life in the Secret Annexe and life today. Firstly, the members of the secret annex did not get the pleasure of three meals a day unlike most people today. For example, Anne states, “We’re going to be hungry, but anything is better than being discovered” (240).…
How did she do it? How did she cope with living in a small house that has all eight of them in that small house? The Franks, the vanndans, and Jan Dussell. If you ask me having quarrels with other people you hardly know is normal especially living in a 75 square feet house. The quarrels Anne Frank has is normal because she has to deal with Mummy not understanding her, Ms.Vanndan judgement on her, and figuring out whether Peter has feelings for her.…
The two families end up celebrating Mrs. van Daan’s birthday in a pleasant manner. Peter and Anne switch clothes to provide enlightenment for the group of people. After this, Anne gets into another quarrel with her mother and ends up telling her father that she feels more love for him than she does for her mother. She describes how she hates feeling like a child and wishes that she could grow up rather sooner than later. Later on, the three women in the Frank family end up making up with one another, and Anne and Margot end up sharing an entry in their separate diaries with each other.…
As reading Anne Frank’s diary, is realize that neither Mrs. Frank nor Margot offer much to Anne in the way of emotional support. Though Anne feels very connected to her father and derives strength and encouragement from him, he is like one’s mother. Living as a Jew in an increasingly anti-Jewish society, in cramped and deprived circumstances, heightens the isolation Anne feels and complicates her struggle for who she is as a person and also questions why Jews are hated by everyone. Feelings of loneliness and isolation also play out in the larger part when the Franks, Van Daans, and Mr. Dussel in the annex. All the inhabitants feel anxious, fearful, and stressed because of their circumstances (hiding from the German police)…
