Dear all:
Do you have any thoughts after learning the life of Anne Frank? I tossed and turned the night after watching the film from You Tube, feeling distressed to see Anne’s sufferings. A young and vibrant life was shattered and then withered in the notorious concentration camp. However, what cheers me up is in the time of hardship when most people were showing their worst side, some people emerged lending a timely helping hand. Do you remember the four employees helping the Frank family hide in the attic? They never wavered in their loyalty. It was also touching to see Hannah, Anne’s friend, spared some bread for Anne every day to save her from starvation. What have you learned from Anne’s story? I learn to count my blessings, cherishing what I have. Besides, I will always keep in mind that hatred or discrimination may bring about death and destruction, in which no one would be the winner. Now it is your turn.to express your thoughts on Anne’s story. Learn more about Anne’s story; check Anne Frank Museum.

Some ideals that Anny reported in her diary were not touching but thought-provoking. She released her emotions and built the hope in it. What we can do are enjoy her literature and thought how a sixteen years old girl dealt with hopelessness in that ear.

I have known Anne Frank since I was in junior high. Now, I know much more about her because of the lesson. She had a tough heart and an optimistic soul. With no doubt, she is absolutely a great legend.

Discrimination and hatred are curse of human beings. Even a little prejudice will cause a war. Although we don’t have any race prejudice, putting someone out from a group is bad equaly. Don’t take wicked action for it’s slightness and don’t ignore the mercy for it is small.

After watching the film of Anne Frank, my heart sank. How terrible the war is that made so much people live in alarm. We really should appreciate what we have in now not only substances but family, friends, teachers, and people in the world.

What a terrible experience they all had to go through, something none of us can claim to understand. And I know that we’re luckily, we should cherish and appreciate what we have.

I realized the realities of life through the story of Anne Frank. Her story was not only a story but also the real life. The misery experience she experienced was beyond our imagination. After I knew her story, I believe that I have to cherish the happy life I have and be appreciative for everything which the world gives me.

Although in bad times, it’s still necessary to keep a firm mind. There are times when lives are difficult, but we got to hold on to our faith or the belief that things will get better. It’s quit heartbreaking to see that they didn’t make it to the end.
The days might seem gloomy and our moods may be affected, but we should cling to a principle that all bad things also come to an end.
There’s always hope! We can’t never let go of the determination especially when every day can be a challenge. As long as we stick to the will of striving for life, opportunities will come.

There are many people still suffer form diseases, wars and hunger. They may cause by a person a group or nature. People all have responsibility to face and deal with that problems. If everyone doesn’t take action there will have more case like Anne Frank. We have to be grateful about our lives and help people who have difficult.

I think that keeping a diary is the best way to vent the gloomy feelings. After writing the diary, the analysis of feelings can turn the bad thought into the bright one. A paper-diary would be vulnerable after a few years, but you could recollect the real mood written years ago in lines instead of the coolness of writing on a computer.

After watching this film, I now realizse how lucky I am. For example, Anne had to deal with all kind hardship when she was young. How about us? A lot of people always complain about some unimportant things and don’t content for what they have. Nowadays there is still a lot of people live in deep waters. If I have a chance to help them, I would be glad to do it.

I read Anne Frank’s diary in my childhood. I didn’t understand why a little girl could be such a mature thought and worry. After this lesson, I realized the reasons.
By the movie, I was very touched. Not only about Anne Frank’s story, but also about the cruelty of war. By the way, I really feel pleasant because the things I have are more than other people. I’ll cherish what I have even more, I promise!

I have saw a lot of information about the WW2. The curel situation evokes my compassion. I can barely imagine that if I were in any concentration camp. After seeing this movie, I realized the cruelty and horribleness of the war and valuelessness of life. It is today’s tranquility that we must have to cherish.

After finishing the movie, inside my heart, I was dismal and broken. Feeling losing my mind, I tried to find the reason why people have such a cruel side and tried hard to eliminate the races which supposed to be the equal with them. And it’s self-evident that they should be treated equally. But they were “not”! Why the mutual slaughters should always exists in human world? Is that really necessary?

I didn’t hear about her until I learned the lesson. After the lesson, I really feel her was very brave. If I were her, I couldn’t tolerant it.
Because of her diary, we can more appreciate from the Jewish’s experience.And know that how blest are we.

Anne Frank was just a little girl, but her heart was tougher than any adult because of what she had experienced. She died in the end, however, her spirit in her diary will go on living forever.
I think racial discrimination is not fair to any one in the world. We all live in the same planet. We have to tolerate the race that is different from us.

It is respectable that Anne suffered this miserable situation, but she never gave up her hope and kept writing. Moreover, with the hard time continuing, she was not defeated! Instead, she grown more positive and learned to encourage herself. I think this is why she could held on to the end.

“Anne Frank’s story is only one of them.” The movie ended with an overall reminder to us that the ones we feel pity for are not eight but thousands.
I felt like a princes living in an enrich kingdom of all goods and happiness after the movie, for the unfortunate reality of how many live taught me to cherish of my surroundings. Sometimes misery opens our eyes to the better sides of life.
Of the eight Jews in hiding, only one survived. People may pity the ones that were a few weeks, days, or mere seconds away from being liberated. But I think the truth is the matter of life cannot be measured by regular length of time, when one dies there is no “what if” that exists, for the days of man are limited. Therefore we have to live out what we dream of and act while we’re still alive and kicking. Everyone’s life faces different pressures and opportunities of its time and space, what one can do is to make sure they live up to their good and true ideals with a heart full of confidence that they’ve done the right thing.

I didn’t know Ann’s story before . Although I have known a little about World War II and Nazi, I never understand what was happen on Jewish durily that time deeply. After I learned this story, I realize that neither I am the most fortunate people, but nor the most unfortunate one. I still have the chance to make a wonderful future.
felicia150112 // February 19, 2008 at 4:03 am |
After watching this movie, I felt sorrowful.
l appreciated loyal employees’ braveness who they protected eight Jewish from Nazi. Even they were at the risk of punishments, they didn’t betryed their boss. Besides, Hannah is a person who spared food for Anne every day. It showed that ” A friend in need is a friend indeed.”
I learned that I should cherish what I have, and not to take everything for granted.
Anyway, it is a touching movie.
jeron66 // February 19, 2008 at 4:03 am |
What I learned from the story is to cherish the moment, the happiness, and evrything I have now.
Compared with Anne had got in world war two, I’m so lucky to live in the world today-Joyful and peaceful.
During the movie, something come up my mind: What if these sufferings happen in my lifetime?
If I’m one of the four helpers, will I be justice like them, or will I just leave them alone to keep myself safe?
This story let me think about manys things about human nature

I’m living in a such peace age that I can’t imagine how miserable life did Anne has. After the class, I knew more information about her and the cruelty of the War. Also, that let me realize how nice the life I have.
kevinsam42 // February 19, 2008 at 4:08 am |
I think Ann Frank must be a tough-minded person. Although she was a teenager, she was such a mature girl who was admirable by everyone. Besides, thoes helpers also make me touched. I saw a great kind human nature from this story.

What a terrible world!

Anne’s family had a muserable life. I hope that no body will daid in the war, and I am grateful for my bliss.

Nothing is more cruel than war. Aspecially Hitler’s policy that massacred the Jewess.Anne Frank’s story was touched and I believed that it could make the world more peaceful.

Through this lesson, I have learned more about Edmund Hillary. It’s not only about what he achieved but also what he had done for the people of Nepal. The words and exploit he left will really impress the offspring especially the mountaineers who learn perseverance and bravery from him.
