A stereotype is someone who thinks of someone differently because of something different about them. For example, someone might be mean to someone else because of the color of their skin. Or maybe they don’t like some of the same hobbies or games, so they treat them differently. I can be good, too, like if someone thinks a kid should play basketball because he’s tall. It’s not being mean to him, he is just making a tall person stereotype because usually basketball players are tall. I have been stereotyped before because sometimes I like a different game then someone else does, so they get kind of mad at me. I have stereotyped some people before, but it’s usually in a good way. I always think that kids who are in a computer club or math club are very smart. So I’m actually complimenting them because they must be smart if they’re able to do cool things with computers or hard math problems. That is how I think of the word stereotype and how people do it. - George U. A stereotype to me is somebody judging somebody even if they don’t know them very well. Stereotypes can be used in good or bad ways. A good way is when I see a student go to pen, I assume they are smart. Or if they are in advanced math I think they are smart. But there can be mean stereotypes to. They also are all not true, people assume Asians are geniuses but that’s not always the case. So you can’t judge them by what they look like. I have been stereotyped because some people who play lacrosse think that baseball players are weak and I play baseball. It doesn’t really offend me because I know I’m not weak. Like I said earlier up top I do stereotype people but mostly in good ways because if I don’t know somebody I’m not going to stereotype them because of the color of their skin or where they are from. -Hilma G.

In that section of the story, it shows how through tough times, the family turns out to be very emotional. I think this would probably happen to a lot of families nowadays, also. Imagine if you thought enemies were about to come up and capture you and your family, and you’d probably never say them again. I don’t think I’d be saying, “Hey mom, make me a sandwich.” I’d be saying nice things to my family and probably praying for everyone to be okay, just like what they did in the story. So the characters don’t really get along that well throughout the whole play, but when they actually realize what kind of situation they’re in, they learn to deal with each other. It’s best to just make friends with everybody if you’re in that kind of trouble. So that’s how I think the characters are actually showing a different side of themselves.

 * These statements that Mr. Frank says shows that he was hopeful and a leader. He is trying to lead them through the tough situation that they are in. I would think there would be problems with any family that went into hiding like they are now. People would get stressed out and start to get mad at each other which is what is happening now with them. I think after two years of hiding and almost getting captured I wouldn’t be asking for stuff I would be praying for my family and the people I care about to be ok. I would also be very stressed out from being inside every day. What would be most challenging for me would be not going outside. All of my hobbies are outside so I wouldn’t be able to go outside and I would be mad about that. **

 * I would be very grumpy if I was in hiding for several months. I wouldn’t be able to do the things that I most want to do because they are all out doors. I think she would go out and live a life telling stories about how she was hopeful and how she was in hiding. I think she will follow what she said she would do because she felt determined. She wanted to live a normal life but unfortunately she was not able to. I feel bad for Anne because she was way more positive than I ever would’ve been in hiding. **

If I were in hiding, I would get very bored and tired. I can't even imagine just sitting in the same spot for 2 years of my life. It would be very worrying, too, because every second I would wonder if people were looking for me. I wouldn't be able to tell if a guard is possibly in the same house with me. If Anne were free today, she'd probably tell everyone about her stories. She was in hiding for two years and she probably experienced a lot of things. So I bet everyone would know her story.  - George U.


 * I don’t agree with Anne’s belief about people. Even though that seams mean I don’t agree with it. I believe that because if someone murdered a lot of people (Hitler) they aren’t good people. They are mean because they break the law. Hitler was not good at heart because he led people to believe against people (Jewish people) even though they didn’t do anything. He then tortured them and killed them. **

I do agree with Anne Frank’s quote because I have seen how people can be nice. Yes, I have also seen some very bad things that people do. Nowadays, people make some very bad choices like robbing stores or other crimes. So that can show how people can sometimes be bad, but overall people //are// good at heart. After all the bad things that happen, people can still be nice and do good things. Even if there was a guy who has committed crimes, he might end up being nice to you if you’re nice to him. People usually do good things back if you do good for them. So that is why I agree with Anne Frank’s quote. - George U.
