The whole book was very good because I learned how she lived her life to the fullest and also how she was doing during the Holocaust. She was a good writer and always wrote about things she loved and things she observed while she was in hiding. Sometimes she wrote about things that she didn't like when she was in hiding, and her struggles with the people she was living with. Anne wrote about the person she loved, and how she would sometimes get in a fight with her mom because they wouldn’t agree on things that Anne would like to do. Anne wouldn't agree with things her mom thought were okay because she liked her dad more than her mom. Throughout the whole book I notice the theme “Hope” because in every diary entry Anne would always have a positive attitude toward everyone she would meet and would always be happy even though she was living in a very bad time during the Holocaust. The thing that I didn't like about the end of the book was when they found her in the hiding place and sent her off to a camp with her family and died there when the war was over. If Anne was still alive she would of been a good writer and made a lot of brand new stories up till now.
Throughout this whole unit I have learned about a lot of interesting things that occurred during the Holocaust and I really enjoyed learning about this unit. I learned about the Holocaust in 6th grade but my teacher didn't teach us that much stuff about things we have learned now that occurred during that time. I liked learning it more in 8th grade because both Miss. Tesmer and Mrs. Stansbury teached us a lot of more stuff and everything they showed was more clear and I understood it more this year than when I was in 6th grade. I liked learning about this unit that happen during that period of time. I also like how teachers are doing everything they can to teach it to the next generations that are going to come into the 8th grade after me because everyone needs to learn about this time in history was the worst there ever were and that it can happen again if teachers wouldn’t teach this to students in school. The things that I learned about the blogging project is that if you blog about a specific time in history and post it on a blog page and people comment on your blog post, they would agree with the things you have to say but sometimes they would disagree. Because things like the Holocaust everyone has a voice to say what they want and do what they want because everyone in this world has a voice and with that voice you can change a lot of things, you just have to try. People back then couldn’t say what they wanted because either they were tortured or killed, that is why the blogging project is a great thing that we got to do in class.
This was a really good book, Anne was really opened about her thoughts and feelings. I agree with you that the theme was "hope" because she did always write positive things, even though things were rough some days, she didn't let that get in her way, she brightened everybody's mood. Like on Christmas morning when she gave everybody a present she made with love. When i read this book in 8th grade i learned a lot of things too. It was interesting about how they lived, they lived in fear and had to be very quiet during the day. Anne and her family learned to get along very well and prayed every night that people wouldn't find them upstairs. I agree with you on all the things you said.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with you because Anne Frank was a really good author.If she would of still been alive she would of gotten many awards.Also she was a nice because she tried saving many jews.I also learned about the jews and it is really sad how they killed and torture them.They are humans to not even a animal should be treated like that.Than I like how you mention in the second paragraph when you learn about this because in 8th grade we learened about it too.In 6th we talked about it alittle.I also agree how you say we all have something to say about this.Finally I think this will remain in history for ever and no one will ever for get.
ReplyDeleteI agree about Anne was a great writer. It was a great book because she wrote not thinking of a audience, but writing from the heart. But the thing I do not agree of is her making up new stories. Think about today's world. Many people are not really thinking about the holocaust. Most people think that it happened years ago and does not effect them. Most people are too old or are not alive. If Anne did live I believe she will try to preserve the idea of the holocaust and the significance of it. Also the idea of hope in her diary probably coming from her idea of most people being good. Anne was a Rousseau where she believe that people are good in nature. In my opinion this is where her hope originated from.
