Her diary explained how Jew’s was going through a horrible experience. Anne Frank influenced people learning how discrimination was affected during the 1940’s. Anne Frank gave people by giving a little knowledge about her life was, emotional impact, history how Nazis treated the Jew’s, her showing her bravery, and Anne Frank helped the world understand that 6 million Jews was killed in the Holocaust. By Anne famous diary, Anne Frank helped the world understand that 6 million Jews was killed in the Holocaust. Since the persecution of Jew’s in the Netherlands was extremely similar to the early persecution of Jew’s in Germany, the Franks could foresee that just like it had for the Jew’s in Germany. Anne Frank gave people by giving a little knowledge about her life emotion impact. Anne and her family lived in the secret Annex for three years with 8 people; 1994 all 8 people had been arrested sent to Auschwitz and was all split up. Anne was 13 years old when she and her family went in hiding. That did not stop her from being who she was very strong and brave. She also influenced people about Nazis conquering.

...foundation of chaos, suffering and death.” (Anne Frank) This quote means that you should always have an open mind and should never judge before you know the facts. There are good people and bad people out there. You are the one who needs to make the choice. The first session I went to was called Writing Resistance: The Diary of Anne Frank and the Legacy of Her Work. Anne Frank was a girl who wants everyone to be peaceful like her. Unfortunately you always have the people that find a way to ruin everyone’s lives. For Anne Frank that guy was Adolf Hitler, an anti Semitic rebel. The second session I attended was Our Liberty id Bound Together. The “LRA” as known as the Lord’s Resistance Army which is a large armed movement of resisters against the Acholi people in central Uganda. This group is led by Joseph Kony. Kony considers himself a spirit medium from god. After going to these sessions it made me think about how good people have it that live in the United States compared to these other countries at war right now. Anne Frank was born on June 12th 1929. She was living in Frankfort Germany in a small Jewish community. Adolf Hitler was raised to power in the beginning of the 1930’s. He formed an organization called the Nazis’. The Natzi organization was aimed toward taking out the Jewish genocide. This was happening because Hitler persuaded the Nazis’ that they were purifying Germany. The disabled and homosexuals would also be killed off. The Frank family moved to Amsterdam the summer...

...Anne Frank, a fifteen year old girl who showed the world how the time of Adolf Hitler was in Germany, who spoke out verbally for many about her life during World War II. She had not survived the war but she and her diary have opened eyes around the world. Frank was born on June 12, 1929 to Otto Frank and Edith Frank and died on March 1, 1945; while growing up, Anne and her family moved from Frankfurt, Germany to Amsterdam, Germany because of economic despair causing Adolf Hitler to take control over the government in result of him taking over everybody except Nazis, which were Jews, which was also Frank’s family because they were Jews; when Frank had finally turned thirteen, she had received a diary book from her parents, since the day Anne...

...“too adult” in nature for children to understand, even if they were written with the audience of a child in mind. There is one book that comes to mind that provides an in-depth education to what life is like from the eyes of a child, being told that she’s too young to understand some events and discussions, in spite of living through them on a daily basis. That book is Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl. Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl is a partial biography of Anne Frank who had received the gift of a diary for her 13th birthday in 1942 (Frank, 1967). The pages in the diary are written in a two year period, beginning on June 14, 1942 and ending with the last entry of August 1, 1944. Anne was a Jewish girl living in Amsterdam Holland whose life, along with her family and most of her friends, was turned upside down simply for being Jewish. Yet, when one reads her diary, it is clear that we could almost be reading the diary of any 13-15 year old girl when the circumstances of war are ignored. For the most part, Anne is a typical 13 year old girl when she starts writing in her journal. As Frank (1967) stated “It’s an odd idea for someone like me to keep a diary; not only because I have never done so before, but because it seems to me that neither...

...the past. An example of this would be the work of Anne Frank, in Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl providing a firsthand account of life in hiding as a Jewish girl while inspiring future generations through her writing. Another example would be Parallel Journeys by Eleanor Ayer, offering a new perspective of the persecution of Jews through the eyes of two Germans – Alfons, a participant in the Hitler Youth, and Helen, a Jewish girl who flees to Holland to avoid persecution by the Nazis. This excerpt, along with Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl models the paths writers take to educate about conflicts. As these works show, writers respond best to conflict because they leave lasting impacts, convey new perspectives, conceive...

...victims/powerless are the people who leave the biggest impact. When you think of and asylum seeker many people will often assume they are boat people looking for handouts. However, this is not always the case. Najaf Mazari is a perfect example of the powerless becoming powerful, through refugee/asylum status. At the age of about eleven or twelve, Najaf's world was literally blown to smithereens when a rocket launcher blew their house apart in the village of Mazar - e - Sharif. Najaf was injured to the point he was perilously close to becoming a cripple for life. A year after the bombing Najaf is cured. He returns to work as a Rugmaker only to face the demanding wrath of the Taliban and Communists governments. Najaf is perused so closely that he is forced into hiding from the Taliban, once caught is maliciously beaten as punishment. As a consequence Najaf is forced to risk his life in the hands of people smugglers and get on a rickety and instable boat bound for Australia. Najaf is one of the lucky ones, his boat makes it to Christmas Island. Although his journey does not end here, Najaf must now prove his identity and a genuine asylum claim. Eventually truth wins out and his visa comes through and he is granted asylum. Najaf represents power during conflict extraordinarily well. He risked his life to flee and overcome astounding trials. Nowadays he owns his own rug shop with a wife and daughter in Parhan. Moving Backwards in History Anne Frank is and outstanding model of the powerless...

...Annelies Marie Frank, author of The Diary of a Young Girl, focuses mainly on the idea of loneliness of adolescence. This book was originally written as a diary then later published by Frank’s father, Otto Frank, to fulfill his daughter’s wish after she passed away. Because this book was written in first person point of view and falls under the non-fiction category, I believe that the strongest things about this book is that it is able to leave an impact to the society as well as a dark past that the youth should educate themselves on. Other than that, I was able to connect to the writer’s story, as it felt very realistic never minding the fact that it is indeed a relic of history. Written by Anne Frank, this book tells a story of self-discovery, isolation, survival, suffering, and death during the World...

...As time past many historical events that occurred outside the annex influenced the moods and relationship of the characters. It changed them in more than one way,how they think, how they act, how they feel. Their lives were shaped a completely different way due to the wrath of Adolf Hitler's rule. And his massive plan to generate the aryan race and completely take over. As the characters thrived throughout the experience of being secluded changed the personality of the characters. As Anne Frank went through the secret annex her personality changed completely. As in paragraph 83 scene 2 it shows her personality as very enthusiastic and caring. “A darling little cat. But they made me leave her behind.i left some food and a note for the neighbors to take care of her.” but as she goes on she gets more gloomy and depressed. “I'd like to go back to it for a few days, or a week. But i know i'd be bored to death.”...

...was given the name Hermine Santuschitz (“Miep Gies Biography” 2). Since there was a food shortage and little work, Gies was placed in a program for suffering Dutch kids. Since Gies was a sick child, she was placed with a foster family to restore her original state of health. They then nicknamed her “Miep” (“Miep Gies Who Hid Anne Frank Dies at 100” 1). The fact that she was placed in foster care may have led her to be more empathetic toward the family she helped later on. Later in her life, Gies married her boyfriend, Jan Gies, in the spring of 1940. She had written a letter to Queen Wilhelmina to retrieve her birth certificate (“Miep Gies...

...Courage is a word to describe a brave person, and can also describe Anne Frank perfectly. Today, in our generation, many people live negative lives, but Anne Frank was not one of those people. Anne Frank was a Jewish teenager at the times of the Holocaust, and although she was sent to a concentration camp at the age of 15, she was exceedingly positive and always tried to find the best in everyone. Prior to, Anne, her friends and family needed to stay in a crunched, secluded annex in an attempt not to be caught. Their lives were quite difficult, and they were required to be as silent as possible in their hiding spot during many hours of the day. To make it all better, no one could use the bathroom in a certain time period. Her character could...

...elaborates on how optimism and mental health are related. It states, “Evidence suggests that optimism is important in coping with difficult life events. Optimism has been linked to better responses to various difficulties, from the more mundane (e.g., transition to college [Brissette, Scheier, & Carver, 2002]) to the more extreme (e.g., coping with missile attacks [Zeidner & Hammer, 1992]). Optimism appears to play a protective role, assisting people in coping with extraordinarily trying incidents” (Optimism and Its Impact). From extreme conflicts to day to day issues, responding to difficult situations with hopefulness is best for someone’s health. The response continues by saying, “Optimists also tend to accept the reality of difficult situations while also framing them in the best possible light (Carver et al., 1993). While pessimists tend to cope through denial and abandoning impeded goals, optimists rely on acceptance and the use of humor” (Optimism and Its Impact). Optimists and their view on challenges seem to have a more happy and fulfilled life. They continue being positive which is healthier for them and their peers. The Pursuit of Happiness, is another website that believes challenges are best faced with optimism. It says, “The results of this research show that compared to optimists, pessimists nurtured little hope for the future and were more at risk for...

...THE DIARY OF A YOUNG GIRL : THE DEFINITIVE EDITION Anne Frank Edited by Otto H. Frank and Mirjam Pressler Translated by Susan Massotty -- : -BOOK FLAP Anne Frank's The Diary of a Young Girl is among the most enduring documents of the twentieth century. Since its publication in 1947, it has been read by tens of millions of people all over the world. It remains a beloved and deeply admired testament to the indestructable nature of the human spirit. Restore in this Definitive Edition are diary entries that had been omitted from the original edition. These passages, which constitute 30 percent more material, reinforce the fact that Anne was first and foremost a teenage girl, not a remote and flawless symbol. She fretted about, and tried to copie with, her own emerging sexuality. Like many young girls, she often found herself in disagreement with her mother. And like any teenager, she veered between the carefree nature of a child and the full-fledged sorrow of an adult. Anne emerges more human, more vulnerable, and more vital than ever. Anne Frank and her family, fleeing the horrors of Nazi occupation, hid in the back of an Amsterdam warehouse for two years. She was thirteen when the family went into the Secret Annex, and in these pages she grows to be a young woman and a wise observer of human nature as well. With unusual insight, she reveals the relations between eight people living under extraordinary conditions, facing hunger, the ever-present threat of discovery and death, complete...

...Text Set Introduction Jeff Utegg After reading The Giver and The Hunger Games, we were set out on the task to find a common theme. In an ideal situation, teachers would be able to embellish on these young adult books by supporting them with supplemental sources. Through the use of newspaper articles, magazines, picture books, videos, trailers and clips, and electronics our tenth grade English class will explore and discover the theme; dystopia paired with defiance. Dystopia literally means “ bad uptopia”. According to the MerriamWebster dictionary, dystopia is defined as “an imaginary place where people lead dehumanized and often fearful lives”. Unlike utopia, where a society is perceived to be a perfect place to reside, dystopia differs in that what is “perfect” often causes an undesirable place to live. Having students be able to understand these complex themes in addition to the “on the surface” themes that exist within this young adult literature would ensure a deeper meaning/understanding of the text for them. In addition, being able to present the idea to students in a multitude of facets helps to differentiate learning for students. Also, students are able to gain a better understanding of what dystopia really means when they see it being used in multiple different contexts. This particular English 10 class is a cotaught class of twentyfive including six students with disabilities. There are two students with autism, three with multiple disorders and one student with ...

...…, and not what [one] hope[s] to win by it. (Cahn, 632)” While Wolf says. “Other acts and activities, though highly pleasurable and deeply involving, like riding a roller coaster or meeting a movie star, do not seem to have the right kind of value to contribute to meaning. (Cahn, 635). I agree with Taylor because Wolf’s idea that some things aren’t meaningful is entirely subjective. I know many people who would consider it the highlight of their existence to meet Beyoncé. Whether I, or anyone else, agree with that sentiment or not does not invalidate their satisfaction. 6. I think that sometimes, things that one could personally consider meaningless or worthless could have an enormous impact on others. Anne frank, most assuredly did NOT enjoy the portion of her life the time she spent hiding from Nazis during World War Two but it is clear that her life, and tragic sacrifice both hold a lot of meaning to the world. This school of thinking applies to lesser know people as well. Consider an archeologist that spent their whole lives digging unfruitfully for whatever prizes lie lost to history. Even if they loathed their career and considered their life a waste, they could still have laid the foundation for the next person to continue their work and perhaps even discover a dinosaur or some such. While Taylor doesn’t directly address the subject, I am led to believe that thinks that there is no meaning in doing something you hate, simply from the general tone regarding the futility...
