        <description><![CDATA[One interpretation of the universal theme in 'The Diary Of Ann Frank' is the way her book survives forever as a lasting testament to the idea of 'Good.' Yes, evil was seen to win out against Ann's family and thousands of others throughout the world in the short term, but Ann was blessed also to see good done in her short lifetime - sacrifice,risk,offering refuge,moral support and kindness. Sadly, in the end these small and great acts of...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Though it is a non fiction piece, the reader can use the same steps to find the theme as one does in fiction. Who is the protagonist? What is the conflict? How does the character change? How do they resolve the conflict? The title also sometimes hints at theme. The theme must be an entire statement, not a phrase. The theme statement cannot be too specific but must be general enough to apply to all cultures of the world, a universal theme. A...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Many themes are presented in The Diary of Anne Frank. A couple universal themes include suffering, coming of age, and identity. Like anyone, Anne endures suffering, though a little more harshly than other children her age. Children all over the world may suffer if they lose a loved one, have a disease, or are abused/neglected; therefore, this is a universal theme. Another universal theme includes coming of age. We can actually put ourselves in...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[When my students read this novel or the play version of it, they come up with many themes.  akannan gave many examples and she is correct: there are so many themes in this work, as well as all works you will encounter.  Other great themes Anne teaches readers is to never give up hope, always stay positive, and see the good in all people.  One of her most famous quotes is "I truly believe that people are really good at heart."]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[With any great work of "L"iterature, I would always try to steer from the idea of "the universal theme."  I think that you can find much in the way of many powerful themes of the work.  One theme could be how Anne grows up throughout the course of the work.  Pay attention to how Anne changes from the first entry to the last entry.  The individual struggles, the collective challenges, and the questioning of reality within both are elements...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Because Anne felt that since her diary was going to be her new best friend, she didn't feel that calling it "dear diary" was personal enough, so she decided on the name of "Kitty." The name Kitty was not symbolic of anyone in particular in Anne's life. She simply wanted it to have its own name so that it would seem like a real person to her and like a "secret confidante" to whom she could express her deepest feelings about just about...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[At first Anne Frank is warm to Mrs. Van Daan and the Van Daan family, saying they've become like one big family. However, as time goes on, things change. If the Diary had been fiction, the change for the worse would have been foreshadowed by the arrival of the Van Daan family a day early, with Mrs. Van Daan carrying her chamber pot in a hatbox, betokening stubbornness and an entrenched mode of thought.
If it had been been foreshadowing, it...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Anne's diary goes through a rather intense description of the type of limitations and controls placed on Jewish individuals.  The opening of the diary talks about the fact that Anne's father had arranged a hiding place in the annexe of his office upon the Nazi seizure of power in Amsterdam.  This highlights the primary restriction placed on Jewish people.  Deeming them as enemies of the Reich, once the Nazis gained power there was little to...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The reason Anne called her hiding experience "dangerous'"is evident - if the Jews were found, they would be arrested and sent off to a concentration camp. The outcome of their ordeal (all died except Anne's father) is proof enough that their lives were in constant peril.
The fact that she described living in the attic as "a romantic and interesting adventure" is quite something else and reveals a lot about Anne's inherent optimism despite...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Anne's reflection of her state of being in this statement is probably one of the most profound elements present in the diary.  She expresses happiness and thankfulness for being able to be with her family, and for being alive, when so many others are not.  Each time Anne and her family receive news from the outside world about what is happening, what they hear makes them thankful for being alive.  When they hear about families being...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I think that Anne's understanding behind keeping the diary was a way for her to be able to confide feelings, share emotions, and establish an unconditional emotional bond.  Her excitement at the entries in the early going shows this desire.  I do think that as the diary progresses, and the situation becomes more dire for Anne and her family, her perceptions become more astute and she becomes more aware that the diary gains a sense of...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The connection between Anne and her mother represents how the experiences and conflicts of adolescence possess a sense of universality despite conditions that should never become universal.  Being hidden away in the attic does not prevent challenges between mother and daughter.  Part of this might be generational, as Anne is younger and believes that she has the right to live the way she wishes to do so.  Mrs. Frank represents the...]]></description>
