    After reading and watching The Diary of Anne Frank I realized there was many prominent differences and similarities from the script to the movie. One scene from the script was identical to the one in the movie, where they would become rigid and unmoving whenever the sounds of cars were heard. Furthermore, the scene repeated several times in a similar fashion throughout the movie. With this in mind, the director probably wanted the audience to know the dangerous position the Franks and the Van Daans were in. The characters know this as well, and this caused them to fear any noise.

She once said, “Despite everything I still believe people are truly good at heart.” Her diary, which she kept while her family was in hiding from the Nazis, shows the triumph of her spirit over the evil in the world even through the pain of adolescence. The Franks and Van Dans were hiding and they suffered many hardships, mentally and physically. Many people in Anne’s situation would have become bitter and resentful, but Anne never would despair.

  • The Freedom Writers' Diary

    “Invisible threads are the strongest ties” (Friedrich Nietzsche). This quote talks about the connections that cannot be seen or are not usually recognized and how those are the strongest ones. Connections can be made between almost anything. Sometimes a person has to dig a little deeper or put in a little extra thought to recognize or make a certain connection. The connection between the novel The Freedom Writers Diary and government is one that is not direct; it has invisible threads as one might say. The Freedom Writers Diary by Erin Gruwell is an inspirational novel about a new young teacher, Ms. Gruwell, and her English class at Woodrow Wilson High School. The novel goes through the student’s high school careers from freshman until graduating seniors. It tells the stories of each student anonymously in the form of diary entries, covering all topics from in class assignments to gang violence and the struggles of their every day lives. At first glance it may appear to be just a novel about “How a teacher and 150 teens used writing to change themselves and the world around them” (cover Gruwell), however; underlying connections can be made between the individual diary entries themselves and the government. It is the ties that a person may not instantly make or the connections that one has to search for that are the strongest and most memorable. Erin Gruwell’s novel The Freedom Writers Diary connects to the government through discussing the issues of racial segregation, homosexuality, and the effects living in the projects can have on a person.

    Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl was a very distressing yet amazingly written book. Who would have thought that such a little person could have such a huge effect on the world? Anne?s father lived for many years after the war and made sure that Anne?s diary was published. Her diary was published in 1947 and was then made into a film. This diary helps people remember what Jews had to go through and hopefully reminds them of how lucky they are. By remembering, it is hoped that something like this will never happen again. This book was intriguing while incorporating many life lessons. Discrimination, unfair judgment, and racism are only a few of the many lessons that this book has to offer. With that, after reading this book, we have learned to not take the things we have for granted because in a matter of seconds, days, months, or even years, it could all be gone. As Anne said in her diary, ?In spite of everything, I still believe, people are truly good at heart?.
