I think a stereotype is a type of person. Stereotypes are a group of people that have something in common. But, I think stereotypes are mostly used in a bad way. You usually don’t see “caring” as a stereotype. I also think that stereotypes are really just based on looks. “Don’t judge a book by its cover” doesn’t apply. For example, people usually perceive people who wear different clothing or look or act differently as “weird” or “bad” people. Last year, a girl in in class wore pink and purple and //Minnie Mouse// clothes that people our age group usually think of as girly or babyish. Therefore, people thought of her as a baby and wouldn’t hang out with her. Tall people are perceived as, well I don’t really know. Usually when I’m talking to a friend and I ask to go hang out with a tall person they usually say, “Them? But they’re so tall!” Sometimes, I just don’t understand stereotypes. Also, in //Mean Girls//, in the beginning, Janice was talking to Cady (Katie) about the different types of people in her school. I have been stereotyped because I’m (dun dunn dunnnnn) blonde (secrets revealed) so they think that I’m dumb and stupid. I’ll admit, I am pretty clueless when it comes to common sense sometimes. I have also stereotyped people. It’s mostly just random people on the street that I don’t know. I guess that’s worse than people that I know. But I never really do it in a negative way, I really just do it in a positive way most of the time. -Irene S. J

I think a stereotypes a way you classify people. I think stereotypes can be used in good and bad ways, however most of them are used in bad ways like people who are good at sports are jerks. Stereotypes is a misused word because most of the time they are not true. They are used just based on looks. For example, all African Americans are good at sports. This is not true because I know an African American who is really smart and not good at sports at all. I stereotyped a person in the end of summer. When I first saw her I saw she was a red head. I thought she would be mean because red heads are known to be mean. I found that I was wrong and she was nice and cool. We are now good friends so I think most stereotypes are not very true. I have never been stereotyped so I don’t know what it feels like to be it. Syzmon Binke

I think that these statements make Mr. Frank seem determined and very optimistic because he looked on the bright side of that whole situation. Some of the other characters were a little more stressed, like Mrs. Van Daan. She wasn’t too optimistic about the whole situation. This reveals that Mrs. Van Daan is very paranoid, she was suggesting that they will come back and get them and things like that. I think my major problem of living like that would be not talking and moving. My family would probably wine, especially my brother, who’s 5. My family would probably blame each other about moving making noise. I think that for two years, I would come accustom to being quiet and wouldn’t really mind too much. It would be super difficult to not talk or move, as I said before. -Irene S.

The statements Mr. Frank said say a lot about his character. They say that he is the true leader who never gives up. This also says that Mr. Frank still has faith that they can push through this tough time and live a normal life. Lastly, this shows Mr. Frank still believes in the Jewish religion even though he knows that he being Jewish is why he is living in these harsh conditions. I think everyone would start to fight and get very angry at each other. I know I would try to get a little extra food for myself and I would be dying of boredom. It would be most difficult to stay quiet during the whole day and not be able to play. Syzmon Binke


 * If I was freed after months of hiding, I would go visit all of my friends and family that I was not hiding with. Also, I would definitely do the hobbies I like such as sports because they would help me get my mind around being trapped in close quarters for years. I would try to be very happy for what I have. If Anne was never caught, I think she would be part of a charity because she is very kind and giving as she displayed when she bought everyone gifts in the annex. Also, I think Anne would be a mother that truly loves her children. **

I disagree with Anne’s belief about people. I think most people are good at heart, but there are exceptional amounts of people that are not good at heart. For example, Hitler killed 60 million people. He is not good at heart because he is willing to take the lives of innocent people for no reason. Another example is all of the murderers, serial killers, and people who kill others because they feel like it. They are not good if they find pleasure of taking the lives of people who did absolutely nothing wrong. I partially agree with Anne because most people are good at heart like all of the saints and people who are willing to give to the less fortunate, but the fact that there are millions of truly bad people out in the world makes me disagree with Anne.

 * I agree with your response. Anne would be a very caring and loving individual. She would probably join a charitable work place such as a homeless shelter, like you suggested know that Anne said that she wants to do something amazing and live in Paris, but realistically thinking, and weighing in her personality, I don’t think that that will happen to Anne. I do think that Anne would’ve done something great, but I don’t think it would be art and/ or writing. Also, if I was free after months of hiding, I think that I would probably make a bucket list and try to check off everything on it. I would do extreme things, try to set world records, even if they just pass my personnel goals and don’t make the Guinness book, I’d still be proud. I would try to live a happy and healthy life and cope with hiding, I wouldn’t try to forget it because it’s too big of an event in my life to just forget. **

 * I disagree with your response, I think that everyone is really good at heart. I only think that others influence people. I think that Hitler was only influenced by the wrong people and therefore had the wrong thoughts, or he has a mental illness. **
