Compare And Contrast The Diary Of Anne Frank
The Diary of Anne Frank is a primary source to the Holocaust. Over the years, there has been many movies and plays. Although they all generally have the same story plot, there are also some differences between them. I read the Diary of Anne Frank play and watched the movie. There were a few major differences but also many similarities. The movie was more detailed than the play when it came to the thief and bombing. These are a few examples on how movies and books can differ, although they are both based off of the Diary of Anne Frank.
The first contrast that I noticed in the movie versus the play was that there was two thieves. In the movie, the first thief that came opened the safe and rummaged all through the documents on the shelves.

    Like everything, there were also many differences in the play. For instance, the thief scene was very different. In the play, the thief came during Hanukah and heard the families up above by Peter’s terrible mistake of dropping the lamp. Then after, the thief fled leaving the door gaping wide open. In the movie, this scene occurs quite differently. In the movie, the thief was able to hear the families by Mouschi, the cat. The cat, hungry, was licking the plate and dropped the plate into the sink. It was then that the thief heard them and left. Also the movie elaborates on Peter and Anne’s love story. There is one scene that was not included in the play version of the Diary of Anne Frank. The scene consists of Anne painting a hat while Peter is watching that is not included in the play.…

    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 Book vs Movie

    In the movie Anne Frank it was very interesting. At first I noticed it really wasn’t the same as the book. The Van Danns had different last names and some people changed. I thought that the movie was good because I could see how everything was and I was able to have a picture in my head of what was going on. I liked seeing how it was back then and what they went through. In the beginning of the movie and book Anne was pretty wealthy. Once the war started they went into hiding with the “Van Danns” and the dentist “Mr.Drussel”. After hiding for a while the war was soon about to end. Anne waited for this day for a long time. She couldn’t wait to see her friends again and she wanted to get her diary published. Just before the war was over the Germans caught them. They were taken to a concentration camp. They thought it was ok and they kept their hopes up until they were all called to get sent to another one. This was a life and death situation now. Were you going to live or die? When they arrived to this place they were thrown harshly off of the trains and onto the ground as they were separated. Anne was separated from her father Pim who she loved dearly. She went off with her mother and Margot. They were forced to take everything off of them. They’re jewelry and clothes, and this after they were cruelly branded. I think that this was very mean. The overall movie was good though it was interesting and almost exciting to see what would happen to them next. I’m glad I got an opportunity to see both the video and read the…

    It should be talking more about how the people noticed that they were jews and how they were treated. I mean like i know they were treated horrible but not everyone knows so Mr.G you should teach a different book or if you are gonna teach Anne Frank then only teach the play because they could understand better. There will probably be people like me next year they won't understand the diary but they will understand the play. That's my reasoning on how the play is better than the…

    Comparison-Contrast Essay Today I’m comparing two forms of the same inspirational story about a young girl in the harsh times when Jews were not welcome. It was a time when Jews were scared to walk outside. And they were lucky to wake up everyday without being harmed by the cruel acts that the Nazi’s did to a very peaceful religion for no reason. Her name was Annie Frank.…

    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.…
