 * It means to categorize or judge someone but one thing that has to do with their appearance, looks, or other characteristics. For example like saying someone’s dumb because their blonde, stereo typing someone by where they live like if they live in a bad area then their bad people or poor, and your only good at basketball if your African American or African Americans live in bad areas or do bad things. I don’t do this but I know other people do. I do sometimes stereotype people, but it’s just a joke and I don’t actually mean it. Like if my blonde friend gets a bad grade I’ll say figures because you’re a blonde but I’m just kidding. I think it’s wrong to categorize someone this way, especially if you don’t even know them. You need to actually have real knowledge about who they are, not just base it off a stereotype. I have been stereotyped before like people will call me a goody goody when I get good grades even though I’m really not. It’s mean to stereotype someone when it’s mean, and that’s what most stereotypes are. You can’t judge a book by its cover. A lot of stereotypes are categorized by appearances. Like when people say Asians are really good at math or really smart. A lot of people do this, and even though this is good because it’s good to be called smart, it can still hurt someone’s feelings. Some people don’t realize, but people are judged so much. **

I agree with you. A stereotype is someone who judges and bases people off of their appearance, their houses, or the amount of money they have. I have ben stereotyped before but it was all a joke because it was by my friends. Like you said being called a “dumb blonde” is a stereotype and that what I was being called by my friends. Not only as a joke but my softball team has been stereotyped too. People would see one error and instantly start saying bad stuff about our team. It doesn’t make our team feel that great but we then prove to them that they were wrong, and we then play as hard as we can. I will admit, I do stereo type some people too. Like my friends do to me, I say back I don’t know how you aren’t blonde too which pretty much means I’m calling them dumb. My team and I also do that. If we see a really short team we say they can’t hit into the outfield, or their pitching probably isn’t that great, but when we get up to bat, it changes completely and makes us thing twice. Stereotyping is not a good thing especially when it to people you don’t know. ~Irving A. = =

I really agree with you, especially about judging teams. My team is judged as just another team form Doylestown. No one’s ever heard of us until we proved them wrong and got them saying “who’s that Doylestown team again” after our 18-0 season. ~Michael W.


 * This dialogue shows that Mr. Frank is a happy, kind man who’s a leader and is just trying to make the best out of the situation. He’s picking everyone up and encouraging them and trying to motivate them to keep going. He’s also very religious and he believes that god will get them through this. During this stressful times, things like Mr. Van Daan being mean and freaking out and Anne being positive like her dad and picking everyone up, really shows their true personalities. People’s personalities really show in a bad situation. I would be awful at hiding. I talk way too much, and I get sick of my family, especially my sister. Also, I love the outdoors and get very antsy sitting around, imagine how awful it would be for 2 year! I would kill myself! The worst part is definitely would never be able to not talk for a whole day. I would ruin it for myself and get everyone else caught as well. Once my friend dared me not to talk just for 5 minutes, and I couldn’t make it. I could barely make it 1 actually. I can’t even imagine being locked up for 2 years especially with strangers too. However, it does seem fun to bond with my family and stuff. I know I would fight with my sister A LOT, but it seems fun to bond with my sister and my parents, well one of them at least since there divorced. It must have been really bad being locked up for so long. **

If I was free from hiding for that long, I would really enjoy life more and take the little things for granted that I usually wouldn’t, like the fresh air and outdoors, and enjoy every day I’m free like it was my last. I wouldn’t sit around a lot because I had already done that for so long, and I would hang out with my friends a lot because I would really miss not seeing them after so long. I would really live life to the fullest and enjoy every day like it’s my last. If Anne was never discovered, I think she would have gone crazy. She would probably be so grateful and happy when she go out and feel really lucky to be alive. She would probably also be really upset because she most likely wouldn’t be able to see her friends and people she missed because they are probably dead by then. She might not spend as much time with her family because if she wasn’t discovered, she must have been in there for a very long time so she would probably be sick of them. I know I would be. She would enjoy the outdoors because that’s what she does inside, looks outside at nature. Also she said that she was going to go to Paris and be very successful, and based off her personality she would most likely get right on to pursue that dream. She would know from experience of wondering if each day was going to be her last to do that as soon as she can because you have to live everyday like it’s your last. ~Michael W.

 * If I were in hiding for over two years and I was just getting out I think I would feel really weird and it would just be different. I would also be a little scared because even though all the chaos is over everything that happened and all that we heard about outside would frighten me and make it so I would see everything differently in the world and it just wouldn’t leave my memory. In Anne’s diary she talk about hr plans for the future and she has so much hope that they will soon be free and it think it would be a huge opportunity for her to do things that she wants to do without being put under the category of being a Jew.**

Michael-- I think you are so right. We reveal our true selves in challenging times. Mr. Frank certainly rises to the occasion and serves as a leader. -Mrs. C

I think that she is right. Everyone has a little bit of good somewhere deep down inside of them, it just takes a while to pull it out sometimes. Everyone has their own reasons to why they do bad things or when they do them, they feel bad. They were e ither raised that way or just made a bad choice. Everyone is born with a good heart but somewhere along the way, some people get lost and that’s where the bad people come in. However if you really try, I believe there's a little bit of good somewhere. This is kind of reminding me of the Grinch because he is an evil, mean soul but it’s only because he is lonely and upset. Just a little experience of family and love brought out that little bit of hope and goodness and spread it everywhere. His heart grew and the goodness was brought out in even someone whose heart was full of such hatred and meanness. In real life I can relate this to mean people that do bad things or mean old people that are only mean because they are lonely and have no family. There is almost always a reason. Everyone has some good in them, you just have to bring it out with your own happiness. ~ Micheal  W. P.S~ it wouldn’t all save in pink for some weird reason .
