How Does Anne Frank Mature
Anne Frank, a young Jew, got a diary on her birthday. Anne wrote in this diary after she was stuck in the “Secret Annexe” with seven other people. Anne wrote many different things about her mom, rude things. Anne later on goes and looks in her diary, and she soon realizes all the hate towards her mom. Anne shows many different signs of maturity in regards to her relationship with her mom, she does this by realizing the reason why her mother snapped at her, how they are different, and what she did wrong. Anne matured by looking at the reason why her mom snapped at her many different times. According to Anne’s diary,” She did love me very much and she was tender, but as she landed in so many unpleasant situations through me, and was nervous and irritable because of other worries and difficulties, it is certainly understandable that she snapped at me.” Anne realizes that her mom had been through many other events because of Anne. Anne went back to remember at the moments her mom snapped and realized why she did it. Anne matured through this because she learnt a little bit about growing up (such as that it will get rough) and gets more serious about her mom’s reasonings. Anne’s diary continues on to state,” I took it much too …show more content…
Anne Frank’s diary states,” I should have been so brimful of rage and really filled with such a thing as hate that I had to confide within you.” Anne read over her pass entries and noticed the hate she wrote towards her mother. Anne felt guilty about it. According to Anne’s diary,” Those violent outbursts on paper were only giving vent to anger which in a normal life could have been worked off by stamping my feet a couple of times in a locked room, or calling my Mummy names behind her back.” Anne soon realized at this moment she had done many things wrong, such as writing the rude comments about her mom without her noticing. Anne matured by seeing what she had done

    Anne was born on June 12, 1929, in Frankfurt, Germany, and she was just a teenager when Nazis began to torture the Jewish people. During the camp life, she kept writing down a journal about her and others’ life. Anne’s older sister’s name was Margot, and both of them were not a good match for being friends, although they were siblings, because Margot was jealous of Anne. Anne’s father, Otto, was a practical and kind man that he had hopes to survive even if he was older than Anne. Anne died when she was a teenager at the camp because she was not keeping a hope like her father. Hope is the only elements to make a person, who has it, reach his/her goal in life.…

    | Anne says this in frustration after Mrs. Van Daan yells at her for spilling milk on her coat. This expresses another Anne because it suggests that Anne sees herself changing, that she envisions a different self. I feel that Anne says this because to her, everybody in the Annex shows more favoritism to Margot then her, especially her mother. On the outside it seems Anne can’t always control her temper, as she strives to be more like Margot, who is patient and calm. On the inside, she is jealous of Margot, wanting to have more of an attitude like hers, and convey a better personality to others, contrary to what she’s done. Also Anne is younger, so it is understandable that she'd look up to an older sibling. I can relate to this because many times in our family, I feel as if my parents favor my older sibling over me. I have the same feelings as expressed in this quote, as it is hard to be more mature than somebody older. This quotation suggests change in Anne, as she herself wants to change, and be more socially civil rather than her normal self. Though it conveys negativity on Anne’s character, as she is losing her temper, it also shows maturity, as she is maturing. This quote shows that she is maturing because she now realizes her impact on others, and wants to be more like Margot, who is quite a role model to her. Some questions that occurred were: * Will Anne keep maturing as she is already? *…

    During the beginning of her diary entry, she acts as if she’s still living a typical school life. In paragraph 4, she writes “Thank goodness summer vacation is almost here; one more week and our torment will be over.” This shows how she’s still focusing on the little things in her life that made her happy. Another diary entry, Anne describes her new residence- the Annex. Paragraph 19, “Thanks to Father and to a brush and a pot of glue, I was able to plaster the wall with pictures.” This shows how, despite being in the midst of hiding, she still looks to the bright side of…

    Anne Frank is someone who influenced history long after she was gone, because of her courage, bravery, and willpower that got here and her family through the tough times up until they were seized. Though Anne died at age fifteen in one of the camps, we still see her today as such an accepting human being throughout her life. In one of her very last entries Anne stated, “In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.” This entry proves her beliefs beyond measure that all humans are good people and mean for the best in their own lives. This statement alone expresses everything people need to know about Anne and who she was as a person this shows a maturity level way beyond her years as a young girl of only thirteen…

    This is shown through the quote “Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands.". This is an interesting quote because, when Anne was naughty, her parents would punish her, therefore teaching her not to do bad things anymore for when she grows up. This would come into play when they were at the concentration camp, that Anne had to take that into her own account and learn for herself not to disobey any orders, by doing this she was doing what she was told and did not have time for an…

    Anne Frank shows a characteristic of a teenage girl when she’s loud and tries to be hopeful. Being loud and hopeful isn’t always a bad thing in Anne’s situation. She desires to put a positive feeling into a horrible situation. In the play Anne states, “I only want some fun… After you’ve sat still all day and hardly moved, you’ve got to have some fun.” (Goodrich and Hackett 382). Anne was fortunate to be hiding with her family instead of being in a concentration camp like her friends, so she’s trying to make the best of it. Teenage girls are just like Anne in situations like these. For example, Abby Seese quoted, “Entertaining people, and making people smile is really special to me… If you’re optimistic and happy then it’s going to rub off on people.”(Seese). In this case, Anne’s bubbly personality will turn the situation they’re in into the right direction. Another girl, Kylie Leek, quoted “Us teenage girls like to be loud to spread the happiness we’re feeling. We are never…
