Anne Frank In Franes Goodrich's The Diary Of Anne Frank
The Diary of Anne Frank The Diary of Anne Frank, a play written by Franes Goodrich and Albert Hackett in the play they decribe the life of a young Jewish girl, named Anne Frank. Anne and her family were forced into hiding because Hitler's discrimination against the Jews. The hiding place is small attic of a office owned by Miep Gies and Mr. Kraler in Amsterdam. The people hiding in the attic commonly known as the secret Annexe. The secret Annexe consists of Mr. and Mrs. Frank, Anne Frank, Margot Frank, Mr. and Mrs. Van Daan, and Peter Van Daan, however the most troublesome character was Anne Frank.

Mrs. Van Daan become very …show more content…

Mr. Dussel tries to console Anne to make her quiet down, but she continues to scream asking to be saved. I think that it was not very wise of Anne to not listen to Mr. Dussel. She should have listened to Mr. Dussel, because if the Green Police heard her screaming, they all could have been caught. Even though Anne was laborious she was also a kind preson sometimes, becaus eon Hanukkah every one is upset of not having a real Hanukkah this year. Anne comes to save the day, because she made gifts for everyone. A cross word puzzle book for Margot, shampoo for Mrs. Van Dann, hand made cigars for Mr. Van Daan, an I.O.U for Mrs. Frank, a muffler for Mr. FRank, a razor for Peter, a toy for Mouschi, and hand made earbuds for Mr. Dussel. This view of a good Anne seems convincing at first, but you can tell that she does this to prove that she is a grown lady and doesn't want people to treat her as a child anymore. She just wanted to show everybody that she is a civilized women, when she actually still acts just like a child. If she was truly this thoughtful she woud not have made everyone's every day life so difficult and

    The holocaust was a time of pain, and misery; of loss, and death for six million innocent people. Sometimes, though, when faced with a plethora of appalling statistics that illustrate the immensity of this genocide, we lose sight of the individual victims themselves. It is helpful at such times to narrow our focus to an instance or two, to close our eyes to the devastation played out on a vast scale, in order to appreciate the suffering each individual or families experienced. At Stratford, "The Diary of Anne Frank," written by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hacket, which is adapted by Wendy Kesselman permitted me to do just that. This compelling play confines the action of the story to a concealed storage attic, in which the claustrophobic realities…

    In the beginning of the play, Anne was a very immature thirteen year old girl. She always tried to have fun out of every situation. She was very fun- loving and playful. For example, Anne said, “ Good evening everyone. Forgive me if I don’t stay. I have a friend waiting for me in there. My friend Tom. Tom Cat. Some people say we look alike. But Tom has the most beautiful whiskers and I only have a little fuzz. I am hoping in time…” This shows that Anne was very immature and liked to play around. It didn’t appear she realized the seriousness of the holocaust at that time.…

    She is an orphan girl with a big imagination and constantly lets her daydreams get in the way of her chores. On one occasion she forgot all about covering the plum pudding sauce because she was imagining she was a nun, which caused a mouse to drown in it. On another occasion, she pretended to be a Lily Maid and “enjoyed the romance of her situation to the full. Then something happened not at all romantic,” she nearly drowned in the pond (Mongomery 223). Anne tries to be sensible in order to please Marilla, but no matter how hard she tries, trouble is always lurking around the corner.

    Anne may be living in terrible conditions, but she sees it in a positive viewpoint saying that it is like being on vacation. It can be argued that this positive attitude did not help Anne because she ended up being killed during the Holocaust. Anne may of not survived the Holocaust because of her positive attitude, but it made it easier to live and enjoy life in the terrible situation. Anne also made it better by making the living conditions more cheerful. Anne wrote, “Thanks to Father--who brought my entire postcard and movie-star collection here beforehand--and to a brush and a pot of glue, I was able to plaster the wall with pictures. It looks much more cheerful” (374). Anne once again is making the best out of her conditions by decorating her room and making it more cheerful. People also got through conflict by looking at the good things in life and blocking out the negative things. In Dear Miss Breed, there was a letter from a girl by the name of Louise Ogawa. Louise was being sent to a relocation camp in Arizona. The letter…

    In the two-act play of The Diary of Anne Frank, by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, Mrs. Frank enters the Secret Annex with her husband and two daughters, Margot and Anne.

Mrs. Frank's obsession of favoring Margot over Anne is apparent in Act 1, yet her unhealthy habit improves in Act 2 by showing an equal amount of concern amongst her two daughters.…

    She has learned that through hard times she can still find the happiness in life and can focus on them. Anne did not just make it through challenging times, she thrived through challenging times. We all should notice that no matter what was going on, Anne was seeing the joy and good in not only life, but in people as well. She showed us who she really was through this life changing experience. Anne demonstrates that we should keep our head held high when we face the struggles of life. If Anne Frank can see the good in things while being persecuted, I know I can. I have learned from the Holocaust that no matter who you are, what you look like, your race, religion, or anything you can think of, we are equal. Now you are probably thinking, “shouldn’t she already know that?” The Holocaust has helped me to see it in a different way. It also showed me how cruel and selfish humans can be and how cruel and selfish I can be. A lesson all humans should know is that we are one. We are equal. Anne once said, “‘I don’t think of all the misery, but the beauty that still remains,’”…
