Analysis of Anne Frank and Pride and Prejudice
515 Words | 2 Pages
“Yes there is no doubt that paper is patient and as I don't intend to show this cardboard- covered notebook, bearing the proud name of “diary”, to anyone, unless I find a real friend, boy or girl, probably nobody cares. And now I come to the root of the matter, the reason for my starting a diary: it is that I have no such real friend.” Anne Frank divulges that she wants her diary to be a friend to her unlike her other friends, she feels isolated and alone sometimes, and wants her diary to be someone she can talk to openly and honestly about everything. So she calls her diary “Kitty” and addresses it as her friend. Anne was often emotional and insecure of herself. She felt as though she didn't have any true confidants, which led her to feel lonely and misunderstood. “I hope I will be able to confide everything to you, as a great source of comfort and support.”

Holocaust Anne Frank Quotes
699 Words | 2 Pages
The holocaust was a horrible and tragic event that happened in human history where jews were sent to concentration camps or their deaths. Anne Frank was only 13 when she was forced to move from her house and live in a tiny annex above her father’s business. Even though she was forced to do this she still said, “In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.” Even through all the hard things the Franks had to face like moving into the tiny they were still able to go on. Based on Anne’s real diary I would have to agree with Anne’s famous quote. One of the main reasons I’m siding with Anne’s quote is her father’s actions, Mr. Frank when he was very open about letting Mr. Dussel stay with them. However, there are always two sides and I can see how some people might disagree with Anne and I and due to Mr. Dussel’s rude actions and lack of sympathy for others.

You may know about the Holocaust, you may not, but regardless, it was a time of great tragedy, and it is sad to think about it and what our species has done, but a girl whose name was Anne Frank who lived during the Holocaust said this: “In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.” I agree with this statement because in the book The Play of The Diary of Anne Frank, Mr. Frank is always nice to everyone and takes care of the family, but others might not believe Anne’s quote because of the character Mr. Dussel because he is ignorant and impatient with everyone.

Diary Of A Young Girl Anne Frank Theme Essay
507 Words | 2 Pages
I wouldn’t put up with it if Anne were my daughter” (52 Frank). Even though Mrs. Van Daan can be very rude at times, there is still good within her. During the novel there are not many times when her and Anne get along, but once Anne went upstairs to just talk to the Van Danns alone and visit them. This time Mrs. Van Daan was nice and they had a good time together. As Anne explained, “Yesterday evening I went upstairs and “visited” the Van Daans. I do so occasionally to have a chat. Sometimes it can be quite fun. Than we have some moth biscuits and drink lemonade” (50 Frank). Finally I appointed this theme because Anne can see the good in most people. She gets judged many times by the people in the “Secret Annex”, but she does not consider them evil people and in fact she understands and can see the good in them. Most people do not show the good in them all the time but it is secretly hiding inside. Anne wrote, “Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart” (337 Frank). During the novel The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank one theme was, in the world there some evil individuals, but inside of most people there is a least a some

The Horrors Of The Holocaust In Anne Frank
1097 Words | 3 Pages
As the war trudged along and the Nazi’s became more brutal Anne was forced to change to fit her new lifestyle. Being stuck in an enclosed space everyday for two years taught her to be flexible to life and her situation. Anne described in her diary, “I used to bemoan the fact that I couldn’t draw at all, but now I am more than happy I can at least write.” (Frank 197). With nothing to do writing was a blessing, it allowed her to escape and it kept her occupied. Anne Frank herself recognized the change in her life and her personality. She recognized maturity in herself from before they went into hiding to her current position, a year and one-half in, “...I became a young woman and was treated more like a grownup. I started to think and write stories, and came to the conclusion that the others no longer had the right to throw me about…” (Frank 170). Anne began to think more deeply and eventually saw her life before the war as a distant life. She wrote in her diary, “The carefree schooldays are gone, never to return. I don’t even care for them anymore; I have outgrown them, I can’t just only enjoy myself as my serious side is always there.” (Frank 169). Anne also adapted to the living style, as being forced in a house with seven other people forces you to do. Anne has to get used to living a different life, “...[A]s there is no bath, we use a washtub and because there is hot water in the office (by which I always mean the whole lower floor) all seven of us take it in turns to make use of this great luxury.” (Frank 35) Anne’s acceptance to change allowed her to keep a healthy body and mind while in

The Diary of Anne Frank Book Review
1379 Words | 3 Pages
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?.
