She probably felt this way seeing that so many different people had done kind and nice acts for her throughout her lifetime, and it is hard to believe people could be so cruel and ignorant.

Melissa Müller’s text Anne Frank: The Biography, proves that Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett’s play The Diary of Anne Frank is unjustified in using dramatic license because it makes the reader confused on the role of the resistance, he or she loses the actual account of the arrest, and it also removes the feelings of the gestapo.
