Frank Capra

the title, as well as the cover design of “Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl”, I predict that Anne Frank at some point would perish because of the dated picture of herself on the front of the book. The title is of a young girl which, I believe, would be named differently if Anne had lived through the specific period or the way the cover appeared with an aged aesthetic comprised with it. Biography Annelies Marie Frank, best known as “Anne Frank” was born on June 12, 1929 in Frankfurt,…

Sadly, this wouldn’t be all that interesting of an experience for me. MagNets is a pretty simple game in both its gameplay and…
