Character Traits Of Anne Frank
Could you imagine living the way Anne Frank and many other Jews did? Anne Frank was living in the time of the holocaust, and she showed many characteristics. Anne was positive, always had hope and always be positive. Anne reveals these traits by saying, "In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart." I believe that all women should have these traits.

Anne was a very positive person. For example in the play I heard that Anne commented on the cat. But Peter replied and says,"That the cat is a pain in his neck." Anne replies, "This cat will always be there for you if you feel lonely or feeling a little down." She advised Peter about the bright sides of the cat. Also in the book when they were stuck in the annex they were weary and had nothing

In the book, Mr. Van Daan stole food from their food stash. When Anne found out about this she forgave him because of Peter. She had feelings for Peter that is why she forgave Mr. Van Daan. Also in the play Peter was being very rude to Anne. For example, when Anne would act just a bit annoying Peter would call her "Mrs. Quack Quack". But later Anne forgave Peter and never gave up on him. Because she never gave up on him, they became close friends. Because she spends time with Peter in his room and they talk for about three hours. But this topic also explains the quote, "In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart." In this quote it sounds like she forgave all the Nazis for hurting her. Then said they are probably really good at heart to others.

This explained what Anne Frank went through. She will forgive anyone no matter what they did. Anne had hope. Finally Anne was a very positive woman. "In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart." This quote sums up her whole life on what she went through. This is why these traits show that she would have forgiven anyone no matter what

    Anne Frank is someone who influenced history long after she was gone, because of her courage, bravery, and willpower that got here and her family through the tough times up until they were seized. Though Anne died at age fifteen in one of the camps, we still see her today as such an accepting human being throughout her life. In one of her very last entries Anne stated, “In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.” This entry proves her beliefs beyond measure that all humans are good people and mean for the best in their own lives. This statement alone expresses everything people need to know about Anne and who she was as a person this shows a maturity level way beyond her years as a young girl of only thirteen…

    Anne may be living in terrible conditions, but she sees it in a positive viewpoint saying that it is like being on vacation. It can be argued that this positive attitude did not help Anne because she ended up being killed during the Holocaust. Anne may of not survived the Holocaust because of her positive attitude, but it made it easier to live and enjoy life in the terrible situation. Anne also made it better by making the living conditions more cheerful. Anne wrote, “Thanks to Father--who brought my entire postcard and movie-star collection here beforehand--and to a brush and a pot of glue, I was able to plaster the wall with pictures. It looks much more cheerful” (374). Anne once again is making the best out of her conditions by decorating her room and making it more cheerful. People also got through conflict by looking at the good things in life and blocking out the negative things. In Dear Miss Breed, there was a letter from a girl by the name of Louise Ogawa. Louise was being sent to a relocation camp in Arizona. The letter…

    She is young and has not experienced life to the fullest so, she is very hopeful for future events. In the text Anne states, “Monday, the ninth of November, 1942. Wonderful news! The Allies have landed in Africa. Pim says that we can look for an early finish to the war. Just for fun he asked each of us what was the first thing we wanted to do when we got out of here. For myself, there are so many things... to ride a bike again... to laugh till my belly aches... to have new clothes from the skin out... to have a hot tub filled to overflowing and wallow in it for hours... to be back in school with my friends.” This proves that Anne was very hopeful for a good outcome.

    Unlike what was stated in the previous paragraph mentioning Anne's innocence, what Anne does understand goes into much greater depth and emotion that what may be seen from the surface. With her ability to see to underlying layers, Anne can uncover more of the truth behind actions than what others could have ever tried. She truly is not only determine, strong willed, ambitious and free spirited, but also a caring, loving, understanding, and forgiving leader in her own way. When expressing her emotions about the war to Peter, Anne had said, "I know it's terrible trying to have any faith . . . When people are doing such terrible . . . But you know what I think? I think sometimes the world may be going through a phase, the way I did with mother. It'll pass. Maybe not for hundreds of years but someday." The traumatic tragedies occurring across the nation, the global destruction, the horrid happenings can not compare to the light and intelligence shining through in the form of Anne's words. Being only a young girl with such a capacity for acceptance could be considered unfathomable by some. Yet Anne defied all previous thoughts of war, both good and bad, with this one simple quote. This can go to show how Anne can understand how the world works through a simple experience she had lived through. She states that "the world must be going through a phase, like I did with mother." Anne…

    She has learned that through hard times she can still find the happiness in life and can focus on them. Anne did not just make it through challenging times, she thrived through challenging times. We all should notice that no matter what was going on, Anne was seeing the joy and good in not only life, but in people as well. She showed us who she really was through this life changing experience. Anne demonstrates that we should keep our head held high when we face the struggles of life. If Anne Frank can see the good in things while being persecuted, I know I can. I have learned from the Holocaust that no matter who you are, what you look like, your race, religion, or anything you can think of, we are equal. Now you are probably thinking, “shouldn’t she already know that?” The Holocaust has helped me to see it in a different way. It also showed me how cruel and selfish humans can be and how cruel and selfish I can be. A lesson all humans should know is that we are one. We are equal. Anne once said, “‘I don’t think of all the misery, but the beauty that still remains,’”…
