Apparently she is alive, but she doesnt have the diary.I believe Otto Frank left the diary to the Anne Frank House or maybe it was like the dutch documentation of war stuff.Maybe i made that up.I dunno, but she wouldnt have the diary, considering its historic and financial value, its not a hand-me-down, you might pass on a jacket that doesnt fit to a friend, not something thats so unique and er..translated into like 19856803 languages.

I don't think this has been mentioned, but another thing that makes Anne so different is not only what she went through, but the fact that she is SO mature...mature beyond her years. She wrote so eloquently and with such maturity of style and diction, in my opinion. It is amazing how mature she appears through her words, despite being in a horrifying situation.

This is an interesting question for which I have only an idea, not an answer. I have taught this play, but I gained most of my insights through directing the play a long time ago. It is my suspicion that Anne has not crossed the line that allows her to see the full potential for horror in human beings. Her quote that she still believes that people are basically good at heart seems to be a product of someone unacquainted with evil. This...

In her diary, after being in hiding, Anne is able to hold onto her optimism. It could be suggested that she was falsely cheerful and did not want to accept the horrors of life that awaited her and her family if they were discovered. It is amazing that the young girl had the patience and calm to write her thoughts as well as little stories to keep her mind occupied. Anne realizes that the Germans are her enemy. I am not sure she fully...

Anne Frank and her family go into hiding for their safety when she is just 13 years old. Like most teenage girls, Anne loves to write her secrets in her diary, a gift for her birthday.What makes Anne Frank different from most teenagers is that she found a sense of fulfillment and joy from her writing. Not only did she write her thoughts to her imaginary friend, Kitty, but she also spent a great deal of time writing stories to entertain...

What makes The Diary of Anne Frank so poignant (touching), is that Anne was not any different from a typical teenager. Her feelings, emotions, and needs are the same as most teenage girls. So, imagine if a teenage girl today was banned from school, made to wear a Star as a mark of her religion and social standing branding her as an outcast, forced to leave all personal items behind except for minimal clothing including her beloved pet cat,...

War affects all people, but most deeply effects the unenlisted lives of both the rich and poor. This war, WWII in particular, was aimed at those unenlisted souls deemed as "lesser" people, but any war makes us nearly all common and alike in suffering.

Find the phrase, "Invasion fever is mounting daily throughout the country". The "fever" is part of the building plot. Characters all know well what is meant, so they don't need to tell you outright; If the reader is getting involved in the story, an understanding of the phrase should become a part of the understanding of what the people were going through all over the country at the time. Ask yourself what is going on...

On Wednesday, 10 May 1944, Anne describes an incident where Mouschi the cat missed his "litter box" in the loft above the attic. The puddle he made dripped through the holes in the attic ceiling, landing just next to and in a barrel of potatoes, and also through the attic floor "into the dining room between a pile of stockings and some books, which were lying on the table". Peter tried valiantly to clean the mess...

The most important thing Anne did was to stay positive herself as much as possible. She wrote in her diary: "Whoever is happy will make others happy too. He who has courage and faith will never perish in misery!" She never gave up. Always looking to the future, she revised her diary with the intention that it would someday be published.Other things she did were to paste pictures of movie stars on the walls of her bedroom. She...

In Act 1, scene 5, the Franks and the Van Daans are celebrating Hanukkah. They are having a good time, and Anne makes them all laugh when she wears her lampshade hat. There is a brief quarrel over the cat, and Mr. Van Daan orders Peter to get rid of it. But the situation calms down when Anne begins to sing, and they light the Hanukkah candles. Mr. Frank begins to blow out the candles, and Anne complains that they are supposed to be left to...

Miep Gies is an employee of the warehouse in which the apartment and the Secret Annex is hidden. She and her husband help the people hiding in the Annex by bringing them food, supplies, and news from the outside. When the hideaway is discovered and the fugitives taken away, Miep goes to the Gestapo to try to secure their release, but is unsuccessful. It is she who finds Anne's diary in the abandoned Annex, and holds onto it for...

Anne has discovered a talent for writing--fiction, stories, fantasies about Peter and what their lives might be like once they return to the outside world, and perhaps most importantly, her self-reflections (diary). She also reads quite a bit and daydreams. All the hobbies and interests the people in hiding engaged in had to be quiet as noise would call attention to their hiding spot.
