Your opinion on Anne Frank's Diary?

Question

Please?

Answer 1

Anne Frank was not an author, really. She was just keeping a diary of what went on in the secret space behind the bookcases. But because of the facts that came out of her journal, the book became successful.

I've read this journal (translated to English) twice and have seen drama productions 3 times plus several interpretations on TV.

The action becomes very emotional. In the play I saw, lights go out. Blackness. Then we hear a European type sirene that puts chills on my back still and boots of the Nazi climbing the stairs and we know it is the end. Very emotional.

Answer 2

It was really the first piece of literature--at least accessible to a younger audience (teens, preteens) that addressed the Holocaust. Published relatively soon after the events it describes. And it is probably its success as a book that led to the publication of other diaries, biographies, autobiographical and other more general nonfictional and even fictional books. So in some ways it is very significant. And with each passing decade--particularly in the 90s to the present day--more and more both fictional and nonfictional is being published about this subject. All that being said, I think there is a tendency to focus on Anne and ONLY on Anne especially in curriculums. I think this narrow-focus isn't necessarily a good thing. There is a bigger picture that can be seen beyond this one diary. And while I enjoyed reading the book. There were many other books that impacted me more. For example, I think The Cage by Ruth Minsky Sender OR I Have Lived A Thousand Years by Livia Bitton-Jackson OR In My Hands by Irene Gut Opdyke l enjoyed much more than Anne's diary. In other words, the Holocaust is more than--broader than--the diary of one girl and teachers and students alike shouldn't forget that. Should try to see beyond that one book, that one life to see it for just one out of millions of stories that could have been told or should have been told.

That is a great book.
It's a way to see into the life of a growing teenage girl during the worst of the Nazi Holocaust.
That book struck a chord with a lot of people in several dif ways.
It was a complete honest look at life in her time. It showed her fear of going out and yet her desire to be free.
It
And it gave in to our desire to read someone else's diary.

Answer 5

i think this is an important book because it gives us an inside veiw of normal people in the war. she's not particularly heroic, or strong, she's just this sort of snotty, silly girl who is thrust into terrible circumstances.
thats perfect because this is how most people are. not that good, not that bad, regular people who became brave and heroic because of terrible circumstances.
it makes the war come alive, allows us to empathize with real people, and is especially good for young adults who get to see the war through someone their age's eyes.

i don't see the world through eyes of color/religion, we are ALL God's Children.

Answer 7
