Stereotyping is when you categorize someone and definer them based on one irrelevant trait. I have been stereotyped but my look, but I don’t mind. I make sure to look how I am for that specific reason. I get called emo as a joke, so I just go along with it- it doesn’t bother me. But I know stereotypes can really bother some people. I don’t usually stereotype people in a bad way. It is human nature to associate traits with the way someone looks, but I’m generally pretty open to anything. I try not to let myself make assumptions about people without knowing them. I have met people who stereotype others into groups based on something completely irrelevant to the group. I try to correct them, but it happens so often. In this day and age, I'm honestly surprised it's still going on. Martin S.

A stereotype to me is the way we judge people by the way they are grouped. For example, if you have a baseball game and you’re watching your opponent warm up, you might say something like, “They have a lot of small kids on their team, were going to cream them so bad.” That’s a way people can stereotype others. I am sure I have been stereotyped before because I’m not that tall. I’m sure that same scenario would happen to me if I was ever playing a sport. I have stereotyped others before because to me it is natural to predict on how a sports game would go.

These statements of Mr. Frank tell me that he is being a leader and is trying to calm everyone down because he is telling everyone that they just need to group together and forget what just happened. About the stressful behavior of other characters, they reveal about them that it is the Holocaust, and everyone is supposed to be afraid and scared. They just have to work together to get through it. Some problems that would happen if my family and I went into hiding would be the ability to keep quiet through the day and not get bored. For two years of hiding, I would behave good for the first week, but then I would behave like a toddler because I would have nothing to do and start pouting and whining. An aspect of my life that would be the most difficult for me would be waiting to talk to other people until night because I wouldn't be able to entertain myself or others, and I would be so bored.

If I was free after many months of hiding, I would probably celebrate and go back to my normal life like watching TV or doing things that are loud and involve noise. I would do this because after all of this time hiding, doing nothing, I wouldn't have to be quiet every day and active at night and just get back to my normal daily routine. If Anne was never discovered, I think she be just as happy as I would be because nobody wouldn't be happy if they were free. But I also think she would continue to write in her diary because she would probably want to remember of what happened while she was hiding and also because she got her diary and loved it and will always want to use it. I know that she is a very talkative person, and she would have been great talking to people, but she never got to live it. She had to suffer through two years of silence and sharing her feelings in her diary. Larry B.


 * I do agree with her when she says that quote in her diary. The reason I agree with her is because some people say the term warm-hearted people or cold-hearted people, meaning people will have emotions from their heart that are either positive or negative. Everybody will have some kind of emotion, and they are good at expressing their emotions. For example, if someone was just sitting on a bench, alone and sad, someone with a good heart would cheer them up and make them feel better. Since that person was good at heart, he/she could help people become happier or good at heart. **
