Diary Of Anne Frank
Diary Of Anne Frank External and Internal Conflicts E period During the first month that the Franks and the Van Daans are hiding in the secret annex there are many external and internal conflicts.

The large amount of time spent in the small amount of room mad Anne very hyper and energetic. Anne's first external conflict was with Peter. Anne rudely dresses up in Peter's clothes and obnoxiously mimics him. Peter did not take her game very lightly and immediately retaliated. Anne also consistently bickered with Mr. Van Daan. One time during their fight Anne accidentally spilt milk on Mrs. Van Daan's expensive coat. Anne also fought with her mother. They constantly fought about Anne's attitude toward the guests. Anne was compared to Margot during the argument, which struck a nerve in Anne.

Anne also suffered a myriad of internal conflicts. One of which was the fact that her imperfect behavior was constantly compared with Margot's perfect behavior. Some other internal conflicts included when she was confused about her feelings on staying in the annex. She was defined them as strange. Anne was also upset with the way her mother treats her as a child.

Anne has had many conflicts but she has to put them behind her in order to get through the Holocaust.

    | Anne says this in frustration after Mrs. Van Daan yells at her for spilling milk on her coat. This expresses another Anne because it suggests that Anne sees herself changing, that she envisions a different self. I feel that Anne says this because to her, everybody in the Annex shows more favoritism to Margot then her, especially her mother. On the outside it seems Anne can’t always control her temper, as she strives to be more like Margot, who is patient and calm. On the inside, she is jealous of Margot, wanting to have more of an attitude like hers, and convey a better personality to others, contrary to what she’s done. Also Anne is younger, so it is understandable that she'd look up to an older sibling. I can relate to this because many times in our family, I feel as if my parents favor my older sibling over me. I have the same feelings as expressed in this quote, as it is hard to be more mature than somebody older. This quotation suggests change in Anne, as she herself wants to change, and be more socially civil rather than her normal self. Though it conveys negativity on Anne’s character, as she is losing her temper, it also shows maturity, as she is maturing. This quote shows that she is maturing because she now realizes her impact on others, and wants to be more like Margot, who is quite a role model to her. Some questions that occurred were: * Will Anne keep maturing as she is already? *…

    For example, robbers start stealing from the warehouse below the "Secret Annex". Because of this, as Anne writes, everyone had to give up certain comforts and be extra careful so they weren't discovered. Everyone must have the lights and water off at certain times of the day so it looks like no one is there. "It is half past eight, come back here, you can't run any more water; walk quietly!" Anne writes when describing their daily routine. Another good example is when the people of the "Secret Annex" constantly talk about what might happen if they had to escape or were discovered. "I hear nothing but this sort of talk the whole day long, invasion and nothing but invasion, arguments about suffering from hunger, dying, bombs, fire extinguishers, sleeping bags, Jewish vouchers, poisonous gases, etc., etc."(149) Altogether, these examples, in some way, show how the setting of The Diary of a Young Girl often supports the theme. There are constant changes to rules to keep everyone safe.…

    She was always afraid of being found in the secret annex. Once again, they were joined by more people. In November 1942, the Franks and Van Pels were joined by Fritz Pfeffer. Now, there were eight people in the small secret annex. All eight people had to live in fear and never go outside. They had to remain quiet during the day and also all had a schedule that they followed every day. It started with everybody getting up at 6:45am, so they could do what they had to before workers got to work. Then, when the workers came, they had to be perfectly silent until the workers lunch break. During this time, Otto Frank made Anne Frank, Margot Frank, and Peter Van Pels study. They would study languages, algebra, geometry, geography, and history. Anne Frank liked everything, except the math topics. Around 12:45pm in the secret annex, the workers downstairs left for lunch and the Franks, Van Pels, and Fritz Pfeffer walked around, talked, and got their own lunch. The eight resumed silence around 1:45pm, when the afternoon shift began downstairs. Later, around 5:30p, Miep Gies would come and confirm that everybody has left downstairs. The evenings in the secret apartment were more relaxing than the days because they do not have to worry about people hearing…
