In her own imagination, she will be at last safe from the Russian soldiers and their harsh treatment of the Jews in the new country. However, Rifka caught ring worm when their family were transferring from Poland to America. Therefore, she was told to stay in Europe until she was totally cured. After dealing the disease, Rifka was finally allowed to continue her journey. “Why is it, that in Russia, no matter what the trouble, the blame always falls upon the Jews?” Rifka wrote in her diary. As the novel progresses, Rifka learns that when there is a will, there’s a way.

...Stella Liebeck: Ausgesorgt durch einen Becher Kaffee Die wohl bekannteste moderne Sage über das amerikanische Schadensersatzrecht lautet etwa so: Die 81-jährige Stella Liebeck erhielt 4,5 Millionen US-Dollar zugesprochen, weil sie sich bei McDonalds einen Becher Kaffee über den Leib schüttete. Das Gericht begründete dies damit, dass sie nicht auf die Tatsache hingewiesen worden sei, dass der Kaffee heiß ist. Diese Geschichte kennt sowohl dies- als auch jenseits des großen Teiches jedes Kind. Sie kursiert per E-Mail, in Foren und Zeitungen und scheint das Musterbeispiel für das verquere amerikanische Rechtssystem darzustellen: “Kipp dir einen Kaffee über die Hose, und du bist reich.” Eines macht diese Geschichte tatsächlich speziell: Sie hat einen wahren Kern, nämlich den, dass Frau Liebeck sich tatsächlich an einem McDonalds-Kaffee verletzte. Der Rest der Geschichte ist eine Mischung aus Über- und Untertreibung – Wer die tatsächlichen Umstände kennt, dem wird sie kaum noch als Beleg für dafür gelten, das amerikanische Juristen nicht ganz richtig im Kopf sein können. Die Fakten Eines schönen Tages brachte die 79-jährige Stella Liebeck Ihren Enkel frühmorgens zum Flughafen in Albuquerque. Weil sie es nicht mehr geschafft hatte, zu Hause zu früshtücken, hielt sie auf dem Rückweg bei McDonalds, um sich dort einen Kaffee mitzunehmen. Der Kaffee, den Frau Liebeck im sich bei McDonalds kaufte und im Auto zwischen die Knie Klemmte, hatte eine Temperatur von 80° C. Flüssigkeiten...

...someone who carries the same persona as Mr. Frank. In the play "The Diary of Anne Frank" we are introduced to several main characters, two of whom I chose as my least favorite and favorite character. These characters include Mr. Frank and his daughter Anne Frank.

On one hand, Anne Frank is a disrespectful person who has an annoying personality; whereas, Mr. Frank is very caring, respectful and considerate even with the living conditions that he underwent. Thus, all things considering, Mr. Frank...

...Anne Frank and her diary have become an international wonder; people feel like they truly know the eight Annex members. I have the tragic luck being able to say I knew all of them so well. The van Pels parents always stood out to me when I visited the Annex. They were so ill-natured and could easily stop a crowd. In this case, Mr. Hermann van Pels was the vulgar personality I wanted to try to show more of. Hermann wasn’t brought up much in Anne's diary. Unless, of course, when he was fighting with his wife or trying to appease her. He said, “Are you suggesting that my wife is wrong?!” when discussing who would cut cake. He also had consuming arguments with her over the littlest details. After one particularly disgusting argument, Hermann...
