The Diary of a Young Girl Anne Frank I’ve chosen to read and write a response to The Diary of a Young Girl for a number of reasons, but the main reasons Anne Frank’s wartime diary stood out to me is because Anne Frank was a fairly normal and typical teenaged child, however unlike us she was unfortunate enough to be born in the soon to be war stricken era 1929, just before one of the worst events in history would soon occur, the rise of the Nazi’s, and the story is somewhat relevant to what is…

When one thinks of the memoir Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl, one would often picture Anne Frank and the horrific tragedies of the Holocaust. A lesser known name such as Miep, Gies, however, is one that we should also remember. Miep Gies is a Christian woman who risks her life for two years helping to illegally hide those residing in the “Secret Annex”, namely Anne Frank. Her sacrifices for these Jewish families allows them to safely lead out their lives as chaos unfolds throughout Europe…

years with almost no contact with the outer world. This is exactly what Anne Frank had to experience during the Holocaust. By reading The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank, students are given the chance to follow Anne’s thoughts, actions, and feelings throughout her time in the Secret Annexe. Even though a good amount of students would say, “Anne Frank’s diary is so boring,” they should read it anyway because it teaches about Jewish life during the Holocaust, is about a girl our age, and…

The first word that I chose to best describe The Diary of Anne Frank is “optimism”. I chose this word first because it seems to be the recurring message of every chapter Anne writes. Especially towards the end of the story. For example, Anne writes about how the war will end soon for them, and that they will be home soon. It shows optimism because Anne is seeing the best of situations even in the worst of times, and not for time periods alone. Anne has the same optimism for people. For example,…

depression. What if no one knew that this happened to you in your life? What if only one person was able to help you? These are some of the few things that Anne Frank and Eva have to deal with. The Diary of Anne Frank and Freedom Writers teach readers that everyone is fighting their own battles. In the Diary of Anne, Frank Anne is hiding from the Nazis in World War 2. While she is there she has troubles with the arrivals of the Peters and is trying to find a way to repair the relationship with…

Anne Frank’s diary holds a lot of value, for both it’s storytelling and how it allows the reader to look back at the Holocaust through the eyes of a Jew. Despite this, Anne’s revered diary does not belong in a History class, it belongs in an English one. Anne’s diary does show us what life in hiding was like, but it should not be read for its historical value. Only 15% of the diary entries mention WWII and those that do cushion the blow that the horror of the Holocaust should strike in those…

My favorite character from The Diary of Anne Frank is Otto Frank. He is my favorite character because of his personality. He is really kind, smart, and loving. Mr. Frank loves his family very much and would have done anything for them. I like how close he is with his daughter Anne. He is one of the only people she is able to confide in and one of the only ones that support her. She is a difficult person to understand, but Otto Frank does and loves his daughter. He also was so determined to keep…
