The screenplay, “The Dairy of Anne Frank” written by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett describes the lives of the residents in the secret annexe behind the bookcase during the Holocaust in Amsterdam. Throughout this script Anne, an animated character, changes in many ways from growing up and maturing. In the beginning of the dialog, Anne’s personality starts out as a juvenile and naive little girl who has zeal to explore the wonders of the world. To exemplify, Mr. Van Daan, a selfish man, shouts, “Don’t you ever get tired of talking? Suppose you try keeping still for five minutes. Just five minutes…Talk, talk, talk.

Evidently, Anne has grown to be introspective by reflecting over everything she has done that day. She thinks deeper and looks for the better choices to make. Furthermore, it is a sign of maturing when Anne learns from her mistakes and errors. In like matter, Anne looks at the bigger picture of the image of herself. To exemplify, Anne says, “I’m afraid that people are going to laugh at me if I’m serious. So the mean Anne comes to the outside and the good Anne stays on the inside, and I keep on trying to switch them around and have the good Anne outside and the bad Anne inside and be what I’d like to be” (Goodrich and Hackett 252). Obviously, Anne has the grown up skill to look inside herself and determine right from wrong. Anne is trying to fight her own battle between good and evil inside herself. Related to Anne’s battle, the Allies are fighting the Axis Powers. She is like a microcosm of the real outside
