    Anne Frank lived a normal life as a teenage girl until the Nazis rose to power in Germany. She and her family were forced into hiding in a secret annex for over two years to escape detection by the Nazis. While in hiding, Anne wrote in her diary about her hopes, dreams, and struggles. She endured difficult conditions and loss of freedom, but maintained her optimism and humanity. After being captured, Anne died in a concentration camp at the age of 15, but her diary was published and became a globally influential work that highlighted the inhumanity of prejudice and hatred.

    I Live

    I wish I live like this


    A normal teenage girl
    Living in a wonderful world
    Without thinking any danger
    But it came
    Never ending game
    Full of cruelty, chaos, and revenge
    It destroy my life
    Heartless Nazis
    Power from their Lord, Adolf Hitler
    Jews must die
    Germans will live
    Secret Annex
    Serves us a cave
    My family was safe
    Until Nazis came
    Concentration Camp
    Screams, blood, bones
    I lose hope
    But I had to be strong
    I just dream again
    To ease some pain
    Thinking in another dimension
    But it was a tension
    I know in another life
    Mom, Margot, and I will live at peace
    God is with me
    My savior forever

    1.)
    What is Anne Franks greatest contribution in
    Humanities?
    There is but one law for all, namely that law which governs all law, the
    law of our Creator, the law of humanity, justice, equity - the law of nature
    and of nations. by Edmund Burke.

    For me Humanity describes a total characteristics or the behavior of a


    person. The essence of being human is what we should do. We should
    have also the inner part of ourselves not just in outer appearance. This
    makes us a human being.
    Anne Frank is not a typical girl that we all know. Shes a girl from World
    War II. Who show s a very strong image to her fellow Jewish. She
    encourages herself and family to stand in a destructive force. Surviving
    for two years hiding in a secret room with her family, having lost
    everything she loved including her freedom to be a normal children , yet
    through it all she never became bitter , never hated Germans, never gave
    up hope. Even in prison after her captured, she continued to show the
    strength of character and care for others.
    From there, Anne Frank touches our hearts with her undying
    experiences and leaves us a mark of being brave in the time of World War
    II. And her Diary represents a good source of how people overcome a
    prejudice. An opportunity to
    2.) Describe the following

    a.)Hiding place- the hiding Place is located in Amsterdam. It was


    actually just an old factory where Otto Frank used to work.There was an old
    house built into the back of it. That is where the eight Jews stayed during two years
    of the Second World War. The Secret Annexe was described to be, small and
    uncomfortable. There were only a few rooms in the house, so the families had to
    share between themselves. Anne shared a room with Dr. Dussel. Otto, Edith, and
    Margot shared a room. Mr. and Mrs. Van Daan shared a room, and Peter got his own
    small room with the stairs leading to the attic. Besides the bedrooms, the only other
    rooms in the Secret Annexe were the attic and bathroom. There was a kitchen, but it
    was in the bottom floor of the house, which wasn't considered part of the Secret
    Annex.
    The Secret Annex was above street level but that didn't mean that people
    walking by couldn't see Anne and the other people. The first day that Anne and her
    family moved in, they made dark curtains to hang up over the windows so no one
    could see inside the Annex. The "curtains" weren't actually real curtains. They were
    only loose strips of material, all different shapes, quality and pattern, which Anne
    and her father sewed together in a very "unprofessional" way. As Anne said, "These
    works of art are fixed in position with drawing pins, not to come down until we
    emerge from here."
    At first, the Secret Annex was not exactly considered safe. There was an obvious
    entrance to the above-street-level floors. The Franks, Van Daans, and Dr. Dussel

    could easily be found and captured, so they came up with an idea to make the
    Secret Annex really safe. They made a book shelf, and attached it to the doorway so
    it would swing open and closed for the people to get in and out of. This was just like
    a secret door.
    Anne and her companions were not allowed to leave the Secret Annex for
    anything. If they did, they would be captured and taken away to a concentration
    camp. They obviously needed food and water so they, very much, needed someone
    to get it for them. There were a couple of people who helped the people living in the
    Secret Annex. They brought whatever anyone really wanted and needed. Miep Gies,
    Bep Voskuijl, Victor Kuglar, Kraler, and Johannes Kleiman were all a great help to
    Anne, her family, the Van Daans, and Dr. Dussel. Without them, they all would have
    been captured much earlier, and lived a much shorter life.

    b.) People and Characters


    Anne Frank - The thirteen-year-old Jewish girl who writes a diary while
    she is hiding in Amsterdam from the Nazis during World War II.
    Shes the second child of Mr&Mrs Franks. As her diary reveals, she is very
    introspective and creative and has a vivid imagination.
    Margot Frank: a sixteen-year-old. Margot is much more like her mother
    than Anne. She is quiet, modest, and reserved: the complete opposite of
    Anne.
    Edith Frank : Annes reserved and nervous mother, Mrs. Frank loves
    Anne, but she wishes she were more proper and polite, like her sister Margot.
    Because of her reserved nature, Mrs. Frank and Anne are not close. she is the
    source of many conflicts with Anne during the two years that the family
    spends in hiding.
    Otto Frank : He is a Jewish businessman who left Germany after Hitler's
    rise to power, hoping to find refuge in Holland. Hes polite and practical
    father, Mr. Frank is the head of the attic family. His calmness and patience
    are an asset in the cramped attic and a comfort to Anne, who is very close to
    him.
    Putti Van Daan: A Jewish businessman and an associate of Mr. Frank's.
    He and his family share the "Secret Annex" with the Franks.
    Petronella Van Daana rather interfering person. Anne finds it difficult to
    get along with her.

    Peter Van Daan : The is two-and-a-half years older than Anne, and his
    calm, quiet nature contrasts with her more excitable, vital personality. At
    first, Anne thinks that Peter is dull, but later on, they develop a warm and
    loving friendship.
    Mr. Dssel: An elderly dentist who joins the group in hiding in November
    1942. He shares Anne's room, and his pedantic nature continually irritates
    her.

    Frank and Mr. Van Daan and who takes over the running of the business
    when they are no longer able to do so. He works in the office in the building
    where the "Secret Annex" is located, and he helps with technical, logistical
    aspects, such as obtaining food for the people in hiding.
    Mr. Koophuis: A Dutch Gentile business associate of Mr. Frank and Mr. Van
    Daan. He also takes over the running of the business after all Jews have been
    forbidden to employ Gentiles, and he helps to conceal the group in hiding
    and obtain supplies for them.
    Miep:A young woman who works in the office below the "Secret Annex."
    She helps with obtaining food and supplies for the group in hiding and
    keeping their spirits up.
    Elli: A young typist who also works in the office below the "Secret Annex."
    She also helps obtain food and supplies for the group in hiding and comforts
    them psychologically.

    c.) About her hope and peace


    In the 14th of June 1942. A picture of happy family. A birthday party for their
    little girl named Anne Frank . Days past and suddenly a bad news came.
    Adolf Hitler proclaimed a Martial Law which kills thousand of Jewish people.
    By putting them in a concentration camp or in gas chamber. A great
    holocaust was happened. In two years Franks and Daans hide in the Secret
    Annex. That serves them a shield from the Nazi.
    By the month of August 1, 1944. This day was full of sorrow. The time she
    and Margot placed in Belsen, her sister was already sick and Anne was sick
    too. And afterwards she died ; peacefully, feeling that nothing bad was
    happening to her.

    I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too; I
    feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I
    somehow feel that this cruelty too shall end, that peace and
    tranquility will return once more. (Saturday 15th of July, 1944)
    From this quotation I personally salute Anne Frank for being optimistic and
    living her life like its normal.
    d.) About her talent
    By the time she had her first ever diary, Anne doesnt know what to write
    on. So she decided to named it Kitty and treat like her friend.
    She show a different kind of girl. Through writing her diary and making it a
    remarkable for each of us.
    e.) About her ambition
    Anne Frank aspired to be a journalist and a famous writer but was not
    allowed the chance to pursue that dream, although she clearly had the
    potential to achieve it. she worked hard to improve her skills. She wrote
    thoughtful, soul-searching short stories, some of which have survived. She
    looked critically at what she wrote, revising her efforts with an eye to their
    postwar publication. But in a cruel instance of mans inhumanity to man, her
    potential was checked before it was fully developed. That is the tragedy.
    The joy is that she achieved her purpose nonetheless. Anne Frank was a
    young girl with a vision: to become an author and have a profound effect on
    the world. Although her life was cut short, the dedication she applied to her
    vision actually resulted in its realizationpossibly beyond her wildest hopes.
    "I want to go on living even after my death! And therefore I am so
    grateful to God for having given me this gift, this possibility of
    developing myself and of writing, of expressing all that is inside
    me!" Anne Frank
