The way Anne went about the tough war situation was the same for a lot of that generation. In an interview Miep reminisced about Anne, “‘Watching Anne, I thought, now, here’s the kind of child I’d like to have someday. Quiet, obedient, curious about everything’” (Allison). Anne Frank was a curious one, just like the victims, asking question such as why us? Why now? An article written about Anne in NY Daily News stated, “During her final weeks of life in a German concentration camp, Anne Frank told fairy tales to the youngest inmates to lift their morale” (Black). She was a beacon of hope for those around her keeping her attitude positive even when the struggles worsened. People Magazine posted an online article/ interview with Miep Gies that mentioned Anne, “I don't believe Anne ever lost hope, though [she] worried. She always had so many questions and longings to be free” (Feerick). Everyone longed for freedom from all the dangers and fears, but again Anne kept her hope alive. The curiosity and hope she wrote about affected the people surrounding her and ultimately became the voice for the voiceless victims of the Holocaust. <br />Lastly, by recording her interests it gives others an inside look into Hitler’s targets. By studying Anne’s way of life and passion for writing it gives someone a better idea of the victims. Hannah Gosler, a friend of Anne, “tells of a young, funny, bright Anne Frank who had sleepover parties, and flirted, and wanted to be famous, a girl just like any other girl” (Gold). Before the victim’s lives were on the line they were a group relatable to most of a first world culture. They had friends, parties, and fun. In an article titled "Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl" the author stated, “Anne writes with renewed dedication because she dreams of becoming a journalist and knows she must hone her composition skills” (“Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl”). Anne had dreams of becoming published just like the Holocaust victims had their own hopes and dreams for their futures. Through sharing her interests she became a voice for the people targeted in the Holocaust. <br /> In conclusion, although she didn’t know it at the time Anne Frank’s writing turned into a mouth for the Holocaust victims. Through her experiences one can understand the fear and hardship that they endured. Like most people, the victims were influenced by the people around them and celebrities. One can better comprehend this particular group through the way Anne acted by her curious ways and taking care of others. Lastly, by being interested in friends, sleepovers, hopes and dreams Anne gives people insight into the multitude of humans from the Holocaust. In a situation where there is tragedy, maybe death or heartache, what is your beacon of hope?Brittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02080537872506966095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068055494972049055.post-39875775169260223552013-03-10T21:04:43.583-07:002013-03-10T21:04:43.583-07:00To add to that, because Anne Frank recorded her in...To add to that, because Anne Frank recorded her influences it gives generations to follow a picture in their minds of the persecuted people of the time. Like most others they were influenced by the people around them. Miep Gies, one of the Frank’s friends who helped the family hide, wrote this about the girl, “She knew every film star and pored over their beautiful dresses and glamorous hairdos” (“Uncommonly Beautiful Shoes”). Anne often dreamt about being famous like the film stars and was influenced by the way they dressed and looked. On March 28, 1944 she wrote about a conversation between her friend Peter and herself, “[Anne said]‘I know I’m not beautiful. I never have been and I never will be!’ [Peter van Pels replied] ‘I don’t agree. I think you’re pretty.’‘I am not.’‘I say you are, and you’ll have to take my word for it!’ So of course I then said the same about him” (Brandhorst). Even though the victims were going through hard times they still were influenced by other people; just like Anne was being influenced by Peter about the way she looked. Clearly, by writing about how she was influenced, it provided a window into the lives of those who could not speak up from the Holocaust. <br /> Brittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02080537872506966095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068055494972049055.post-6042541343670188822013-03-10T21:03:28.531-07:002013-03-10T21:03:28.531-07:00A Beacon of Hope

My young friend had left a remarkable legacy to the world” (Goldstein). The horrific World War II started when Anne Frank was only nine years old. At age thirteen she started to do what very few could, put the war into words. Eventually those words turned into the voice of the Holocaust victims because of her experiences, influences, actions, and interests.<br /> For starters, the victims were, in a way, represented by Anne Frank through her experiences. Throughout Germany, Poland, and a few other countries there was a vast sense of fear because of the war. An online timeline referenced this remark, “‘...I’m terrified our hiding place will be discovered and that we’ll be shot.’ Anne Frank” (“Timeline”). Many of the victims first tried to escape the war by hiding, but as Anne said the terror followed them into their hiding places. In the afterword of Anne Frank’s diary it states, “The Franks, the Van Daans, and Mr. Dussel were sent to Westerbork.” A large part of the victims were sent to Westerbork and other similar concentration camps just like Anne. Ms. Frank’s enabled the innocent people’s voices to be heard because she wrote about her experiences.

If she were a self centered 30 year old woman, I would wonder about her. I think her attitude in her diary is very normal. Great job on the project, girls!erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16226994018462948076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068055494972049055.post-8207850743495366192008-09-09T17:27:00.000-07:002008-09-09T17:27:00.000-07:00To be honest, I really didn't like this book.

She always thought she was the center of attention. For example, she thinks that everyone gangs up on her, but if she really did something wrong, she deserved it. Then she goes on writing and ranting about how everyone is talking about her. It's sick. She's really a victimizer. Also, she thinks that people like Peter and other boys always like her. That's probably not true. She never thought about how others were suffering too, and even when she did, she always put her own suffering first. I thought the Book Thief by Markus Zusak was much better, even though it was fiction.<BR/><BR/>Also, after such a horrible time, teachers are making students write fictional stories as if they were Anne! It's shocking. The Holocaust was real and nobody should write fiction about this.will.i.amhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08056246596477408145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068055494972049055.post-19128011894107953362008-04-10T15:46:00.000-07:002008-04-10T15:46:00.000-07:00NICE LETTERS GIRLS YA'LL ROCKZ AND THANK YOU FOR C...NICE LETTERS GIRLS YA'LL ROCKZ AND THANK YOU FOR CARING FOR MY PEOPLE CAUSE I MAY NOT BE JEWISH BUT IM CHRISTIAN...THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YALL ALOTZ!!!!!!!Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09303074365459187561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068055494972049055.post-42689625926458453762008-03-18T00:59:00.000-07:002008-03-18T00:59:00.000-07:00Hello.
