The Secret Life Of Anne Frank
In this essay, I will write about a girl named Anne Frank who had to hide with her family and friends from the Nazi’s during World War II. They had to hide in the annex which is located in the back of Mr. Frank’s building behind a bookcase where he works. They had to live there for about 2 years until they got caught and were killed. The only survivor was Mr. Frank.
Everyone had to stay in the annex during the war because it was too risky going out and possibly being killed by the Nazi’s. The annex was a really small and everyone had to share a room with someone. There were a total of 4 rooms and there were 8 people staying there.

The helpers are keeping them safe by just staying in the warehouse and working. When it is time to eat lunch the workers go take a break while the helpers goes up there and eats lunch with them. In the morning the helpers go and they would get a list of stuff they need and when it was their lunch break they would go out and get them food and eat lunch with the Franks and Van Danns. When they were working they had to do their work always they might know that the helpers are hiding something and they could all be killed.
While the Franks and Van Danns were in the annex hiding, they knew they couldn’t be seen from the streets. The only thing people can see from the streets was Mr. Frank’s office. People who are in the back of the garden can’t see them because they keep blinds on the windows closed and they only open it at night to let some air into the annex. The only way the Nazi’s would figure out that they are hiding is if one of them makes too much noise and someone who works in the building would hear them.
In conclusion, I have told you about how Anne Frank’s life was during World War II. She couldn’t go outside or make any noise, she has to eat as much as everyone else eats and everyone can only take a bath once a

    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…

Now, there were eight people in the small secret annex. All eight people had to live in fear and never go outside. They had to remain quiet during the day and also all had a schedule that they followed every day. It started with everybody getting up at 6:45am, so they could do what they had to before workers got to work. Then, when the workers came, they had to be perfectly silent until the workers lunch break. During this time, Otto Frank made Anne Frank, Margot Frank, and Peter Van Pels study. They would study languages, algebra, geometry, geography, and history. Anne Frank liked everything, except the math topics. Around 12:45pm in the secret annex, the workers downstairs left for lunch and the Franks, Van Pels, and Fritz Pfeffer walked around, talked, and got their own lunch. The eight resumed silence around 1:45pm, when the afternoon shift began downstairs. Later, around 5:30p, Miep Gies would come and confirm that everybody has left downstairs. The evenings in the secret apartment were more relaxing than the days because they do not have to worry about people hearing…
