    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…

    In the song “Car Radio” by Twenty One Pilots, there is a lyric that says “I find over the course of our human existence, one thing consists of consistence, and it's that we're all battling fear.” In this quote it talks about how through our human existence we have had to deal with fear. Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett rewrote The Diary of Anne Frank to make it a play. In this play, eight people go into hiding in a secret annex to protect themselves from the Nazi’s during The Holocaust. The strongest theme in the play is, when you are in difficult conditions, being positive and finding light in the situation will help you to survive. This theme is well supported throughout the play.…

    A definition of compassion from Dictionary.com ’’a feeling of deep sympathy and sorrow for another who is stricken by misfortune, accompanied by a strong desire to alleviate the suffering.’’. Anne Frank was a compassionate person because she truly cared about every single person in that Annex. Anne might have gotten on everyone's nerves and they could’ve got on her nerves. Although, I believe she cared because the way she would talk to everyone. Also when Anne gave everyone in the annex a gift even though she knew she wasn’t going to get…

    Elie Wiesel is one of the most eminent Holocaust survivors for his writing and his actions for bringing awareness and memorial for those who were not as fortunate as him during WWII. He was an extraordinary man with such a great personality, especially after all he had gone through as a child. He has written many novels about his experiences during the Holocaust, one of which called Night which tells of his experiences inside a Nazi death camp. His writing has been influential for all audiences by enlightening them on what it was truly like to be a Jew during the Holocaust. Like Elie Wiesel, Anne Frank plays a significant role in the Holocaust because of her dream of becoming a writer, her documentation of her everyday life, and the symbol she serves as for everyone that was persecuted.…

    Surrounded by evil and death she still did something she loved, writing. The Nazis took away possessions, separated families, but could not take away her love. The people in our present world can learn from the Holocaust by seeing and understanding its parallel similarities to Islamic aggression against Christians. It occurs around the world but especially in the Middle East. Thousands of Christians die each year in the name of radical Islamic morals much like the Nazis. My life can be related to the experience of Anne Frank by showing me that if I am passionate about something deep in my heart it can’t be taken away by anyone or…

    Anne Frank Sacrifice

    This scene was said to be put in for drama, but the way the story happens in real life provides enough drama for the readers and doesn’t need to be changed just to add drama. This quote also shows how they are not true to the story and they are falsely writing about Mr. Van Daan. Mr.Frank also disapproves of the way Mr.Van Daan is written about, but Mr. Van Daan is not the only one falsely portrayed, but Mr. Frank is also. Mr. Frank is described in the play and the story as a hero who saved everyone, but in reality he is just like everyone else in the annex. It is true that Mr. Frank did a lot for the people in the annex, but he was scared when they found the thief. In Anne’s diary Mr.Frank is described as “white and nervous” (Frank 283). This was said by Anne when they find out there is a thief. This shows how Mr.Frank is not as heroic as Goodrich and Hackett say he is. The way that the playwrights of the play portray him, make him seem like the leader and this also changes our perspective on other characters, by making…

    In conclusion, Anne's honesty, humbleness, and bravery led her to believe that everyone, deep down, is good. She doesn't see the Nazis, in the same way as others would in her situation. As the quote goes, difficult roads, lead to beautiful destinations. We often forget Anne Frank is only a 15-year-old. The way she forgives her enemy shows maturity. She sees the best in people, even the ones who are out to kill…

    There are many different reasons why we read the play today. One reason why we still read this play is so that we can remember the tragedies and hardships of the Jew’s that experienced. The main hardship shown in the play for the Frank’s was being stuck in The Secret Annex for two years with another family and a small amount of food. The main tragedies that millions of jews went through during the holocaust was death and torture in the concentration camps. Another reason we still read this play is to make a personal connection with the families so we can experience what they understand what they and many other families went through during the holocaust. One thing people our age can relate to is how Anne and Peter sometimes fight with their families and think that they do not understand them. Another thing kids could relate to is how Anne seems to act more rebellious as she gets older. Another reason we still read this play is so that Jewish people who read it can learn about what their ancestors…

    There was other pivotal characters in the movie who had effect also like Adolf Eichmann who was played by Stanley Tucci who was in charge of transporting the Jews and gathering the meeting together and providing the food for the meeting. I found Kritzinger the most interesting character who was the secretary. He was the only person in that meeting present who didn’t want to be a part of the murder of millions of Jews. Heydrich threatened him and he showed that he didn’t want to do it at all. I believe he was the closest to his viewers and it…

    Anne Frank Diary

    As a teenage girl, Anne loves to indulge in childish pleasures such as running around and having fun, or embarking on great journeys through her imagination. After Miep Gies, the Frank's trusted and loyal friend, told Anne that she was going to a party later that night, Anne's childish happiness had gotten the best of her, and she exploded into a storm of questions. "How heavenly!" she had said. "Remember exactly what everyone was wearing, and what you eat, and everything so you can tell us tomorrow!" In this quote alone an inside glimpse of Anne's young personality was exposed to the audience to see how she reacts in particular situations. However, this also goes to show the liveliness that in often cases, Anne keeps pent up inside. Her perspective of situations varies so greatly from average adults that her spontaneity to certain remarks is not only refreshing, but allows her to see the better in situations and people, just as she had stated in her quote. Moreover, Anne has been encased in a loving, protective shell built by her family. She had not been exposed to the harshness of others and still is often treated as a child. Due to this, Anne has not openly seen the world as a whole picture, but only as a small fraction. Under these conditions, even after having to be locked away for…

    The first reason that people really are good at heart is that the world is just going through a phase. For example, Anne states, “I think the world may be going through a phase, the way I was with Mother.” in the play. This shows us that the world goes through hard times, like a teenager. The play later states, “It’ll pass, maybe not for hundreds of years, but someday…” This quote explains that in the long run nothing is truly bad, it just sometimes seems bad. Also, the Holocaust wasn’t going to last…
