Compare And Contrast Anne Frank Play And Movie
Whilst watching the Diary of Anne Frank movie I felt as if it followed the playwright very precisely. Though most lines weren’t exactly the same as the playwright in our textbook, the lines still had very similar ways in representing what they said. Though the movie was very well done, I would have to say that I enjoyed the playwright better. The playwright was so much more authentic, and without visual representation it is left for the readers to decide how they visualized the play. When I had seen the movie some of the characters looked nothing like I had expected, and made the story less entertaining to watch in my opinion. Also, when reading the playwright the struggle had seemed worse to me in a sense, so I thought it was a much better

    In the play and the movie there are many more similarities than differences. In my opinion, I feel that the movie followed the play. This is shown in many ways. For example, the Anne Frank movie used direct quotes from the Anne Frank play and for the most part followed the script. In addition, the relationship between Anne and Peter is very similar. In the beginning they hated having each others company and Anne had wished she could have stayed with any other person but him, but as time progressed they grew closer and started, very slowly falling in love. The movie includes all the romantic love scenes and the quarrelling arguments between Anne Frank and Peter Van Daan.…

    The South's predominant economic principle before the War of Northern Aggression was "Cotton is King." The South, as it was known around the turn of the 19th century, was solely dependent upon its cotton production. Low prices, unmarketable goods, and over-used land were driving the necessity for slavery and the need for cotton production out. Were it not for a Yankee's ingenuity, the South as we study it now may have been vastly different.…

    During World War II, the Franks and the Van Daans were hiding in a small area of two to three rooms, with a single window, in the attic of an office building in Amsterdam. In her diary, Anne refers to it as the "secret annex." For two years, these close quarters serve as a shelter and protection for the families against the Nazi enemy. While in hiding, problems and the characters' true natures evolved, revealing their differing personalities and value systems. Anne Frank, a young Jewish girl who writes a diary of her experiences during World War II, tells about the major characters in the play. The two characters that I chose to compare were Otto Frank, Anne's father and the only survivor of the group hiding, and Mr. Van Daan, Otto Frank's Jewish associate.…

    Anne Frank's internal conflict stems mainly from the adolescent turmoil that most teenagers experience. She wanted very much to be a normal, goofy teenager. At some points, Anne stated that she felt like two different people. One was the fun, noisy, annoying Anne, and the other was deep, quiet, serious, and afraid to let it show because of her fear of being laughed at by others.

She dreamed of being a journalist or writer, but she questioned how she could accomplish such a dream due to her shyness and insecurities. Anne often wrote about how she felt grown up one minute and like a child the next. She experienced tumultuous feelings about sex and relationships with boys. In particular,…
