The Secret Life Of Anne Frank

Improved Essays
“I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are really good at heart,” -Anne Frank. That’s tough to swallow, especially considering Anne was a Jew during the Holocaust. Anne and her family didn’t go to a camp like most Jews. They went into hiding and had to live with another family for two years. Two families and one stranger in an attic above a business; things will definitely not always go well. There will obviously be differences between some of them. Especially Anne Frank, and her mom Edith Frank. Anne Frank is a young, 13-year girl when she goes into hiding. She was ripped away from her friends, cat, piano lessons, and from a social life. She’s rowdy and does things her own way instead of doing what’s to be expected of her.
