__**BE SURE TO SAVE YOUR WORK BEFORE LEAVING THIS PAGE!**__ To me, a stereotype is someone who is a judging person. Somebody who is just a mean overall person who wants to act cool by judging other people. One example is if you are wearing a sports jersey and a person comes up and says “that team stinks” or “nobody likes that team.” I was stereotyped when I was wearing Kobe Bryant shoes and somebody said that they are bad shoes and nobody likes him and the shoes were ugly but many other kids were saying that they liked them and they were cool. I have stereotyped my friend when he got shoes by saying that they were ugly. Nathan N.

The word “Stereotype” to me means a group of people grouping other individuals into certain groups and is usually count as a bullying act. It is often not true about the groups that were stereotyped and it is really bad to do these kind of things. For example, all the black guys in our school are really dumb in math (not being racist), or all Unami middle school students are really dumb in PSSAs, it often occurs in schools that have groups like the “Popular” group, these groups are often the ones that is stereotyping others. I have been stereotyped before when I wear some clothing that the popular group think is bad, or when I talk to someone that has been stereotyped. I am not the kind of person that stereotypes other, but I do have friends that do, but I usually do not involve in it. :) Mala Weintraub Dorfman

I agree to what you said Mala, people judging others are close to what you said when you said all Unami kids a bad at the PSSA’s. It is just people judging people when they don’t even know the kids grades. Mr. Frank’s words reveal him to be confident and determined to survive. I would always be fighting and I would not be able to stay quiet if I had to live in hiding for two years with my family and strangers. I would find being quiet the hardest because I am a loud kid.

** If I was free after many months in hiding, the first thing I would do is to try to track down where the rest of my family members are and try to regroup my whole family. After that I would, just simply travel around the world and see what the world has changed to after two years, get some fresh air, and try to forget all the painful memories throughout the war. At last after several years of recovery I would visit my old hiding place and just see the changes. For Anne, in the book, she said that she will just live like what it’s like before the war, and she will certainly enjoy it. I think after all of this she will find a really quiet space or a farm and just live there for the rest of her life. **
 * I do agree with your response Nathan N, if I was you, I would do the same exact same. In Act 2, Mr. Frank shows us that he is the leader, it is his responsibility to keep everyone safe, and comfort. At the same time inspiring them to keep on trying and just be patient for a few month. He had done a great job keeping everybody cheered up and safe. If was in their situation, I would be the same as you. I would probably take some risk and leave at night just to have some freedom, I rather have some fun and have some freedom than being in a house all the time with 8 people, it is like being trapped in jail. The most difficult thing for me is to be quiet, when I get bored, I would always try to find something to do, which usually makes a lot of sound without me knowing it. **

I agree with you Mala, if I was in hiding I definitely would leave for a night or just purposely get caught and get it over with. Or I would just run into the woods and see how long I could last. If I was freed after two years I would probably just run around and yell and just enjoy the things I couldn't for the past two years. If Anne was free today she would probably be an author because that was her dream. Nathan N.

In the end of her diary, I had to agree with her on the last sentence of the diary. I do believe that everyone on this world has done something good to someone else and has been generous before. There are many bad guys like a thief or a really cruel terrorists living somewhere around the world, killing others, but they all have times when they are generous, they may not be nice to their enemies they meet on the battlefield, but they must have been nice to their teammates and their family. They kill because that is there belief. I have met way more nice people than mean people in my life time, which is one way of proving Anne’s words right in real life. Mala Weintraub Dorfman

I agree with you, everybody has to be generous at least a couple of times. I agree that people are really good at heart. I agree because everybody has feelings even if they try to act tough they are still going to have feelings. An example is when I watched a movie there was a bully who thought that he was the strongest toughest kid but it turned out that when nobody liked him anymore, he was sensitive so he stopped being a bully.
