    But in the play by Melissa Muller shows that he cared about others in the Secret Annex and his family, which shows the readers that he is completely different then who Goodrich and Hackett made him because they wanted to make more tension. Although Goodrich and Hackett changed Mr. Van Daan’s role to a selfish man to add tension to the Secret Annex, this gives humanity a different view of him in a negative way for years on. From the biography by Melissa Müller, Mr. Frank’s role was to help the others, but Goodrich and Hackett made him a leader instead. When the SS officers went through the Secret Annex, Mr. Frank talked about him being in World War I. Mr. Frank says, “I was a reserve officer in the First World War” (Müller 9). This quote means that Mr. Frank was in the First World War and tries to help the others by talking to the other SS officer [Silberbauer]. Also, he is trying to help the others by reasoning with the officers that he was helping in the war, but this war made them go into the Great Depression. Müller says that he was helping the others through the arrest to prevent it, or save more time before they were taken away to the concentration camp. Another thing is that he was shown better at

    Frank has an interesting view on the way man has progressed morally. I think that he says that we don’t really know our morals until we have them truly questioned. In this he implies that the people who have strong morals, not only will stay true to them, but will survive. An example of this is Randy Bragg. Randy, on the day of nuclear fallout, stopped on the side of the road to help a woman. This shows that he has respect for the human race as a whole. The opposite of this was Edgar Quisenbury. Edgar valued nothing but money. In the end, the absence of money caused Edgar to become an example of Darwin’s “Only the strong” theory as he shot himself.

The reason he is elected the leader isn't boldly laid out for the reader, but what is noticed, is that Ralph carries the true essence of a leader.

  • Anne Frank: Are People Really Good At Heart?

    1109 Words  | 3 Pages

    I'm sure that she had the Nazis in mind when writing it, along with her experiences with certain people she was living with. Her relationship with Peter over the years was an indication of her feelings in the quote. She despised Peter when first getting to know him, but as time progressed she began to appreciate him. In the beginning of the play, Anne bellowed at Peter, "You are the most intolerable, insufferable boy I've ever met!" on page 295 of The Diary of Anne Frank." Leading up to her frustration portrayed in this quote, Peter had been calling Anne "Mrs. Quack Quack" and would repeatedly quack at her to annoy her. Her feelings towards Peter showed the same meaning as the statement in her diary. "In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart." Early in the hiding period, she thought Peter was just another annoying teenage boy. He was always making rude comments and jokes, furthermore just being a pesky roommate. As time passed the two of them had grown older and became used to each other. Anne was beginning to realise that maybe Peter wasn't as bad as she had thought before. One scene in the play hinted that Anne may actually have feeling for Peter. In the play based off Anne's diary, she confesses, "I must be honest, I must confess that I actually live for the next meeting. Is there anything lovelier than to sit under the

    960 Words  | 2 Pages

    A good leader is someone who can think with a clear head while under pressure. He is someone who can unite people to a common cause. He should be able to be as good with logistics as he is in battle. He should be able to accept that there are others above him, and when assigned a task to do it faithfully. Finally, he should stay loyal to his cause even during hard or difficult times. Nathanael Greene was one of George Washington’s most trusted generals and close friend. He remained loyal to Washington throughout the entire war. When things started going bad for the colonists, Greene didn’t desert the cause. Instead he fought harder and continued to inspire his soldiers to stay strong. He accepted his position of power humbly, and when it was taken away from him he handled it gracefully (Golway). Nathanael Greene was a strong leader and a loyal friend during the American Revolution.
