When I hear stereotype, I think of someone judging another in a positive and/or negative way. For example, Irish people love drinking beer. Some people don’t like the games others play so they might stereotype them. An example of this is when a football player judges a tennis player in a bad way. Stereotypes are mostly untrue like when someone said this to me, “Since you are good at sports, you must be bad in school. In fact, I am doing great in school which makes this untrue. I have stereotyped many people before, but in a good and positive way. I always think that kids in a game making club or any mathematics clubs are very smart. Sometimes this is true and sometimes it isn’t. This is what I think of what stereotyping is and how people do it. Signed, Emanuel T.

I think that a stereotype is how you classify someone, whether they are strange, wise, geeky, mean, etc. An example could be that people with glasses are geeks, or that people who always say uhh are stupid. Stereotypes are not always true however. I think that I have been stereotyped as a normal teenage male. I don’t have any feelings of how people stereotype me. I think that I have stereotyped other people. For example, I have stereotyped Bill Gates as geeky and Patrick Star as strange. For example, these are mostly true but some like redheads are mean are not, which you said in your response. While you said that you stereotype people in a good way, I think that both you and me also make bad stereotypes but keep the thoughts to ourselves.

Samuel Biegun The statement that Mr. Frank says shows that he never gives up despite everything that has happened. The behavior during these stressful times of other characters show that they may get a bit crazy and act like animals trapped in a cage for a long time act. If I had to go into hiding, troubles I would experience would be that be that I have to be around people which might get annoying, and having to be quiet so people can’t hear us would also be frustrating. After two years, I think we would get crazy and almost end up dying from insanity. The most difficult part would be entertainment because we would not be able to use electricity because I would have to think of other things to do. I would end up doing stuff I would never do I was not in hiding because of how bored I would get. Samuel Biegun

I agree with interpretation of a stereotype. I also think that it characterizes people in different ways. I agree with you when you say stereotypes aren’t true because many of them are made up and false. I do have to admit, I do make up bad stereotypes for people. Everyone does because nobody is perfect. Mr. Frank’s words reveal that he is very positive. He tries to restore faith within the group of hiders and tries to lift their spirits. If I had to live in hiding with my family and many others I would lose my mind. I can’t stand ten minutes in car rides with my sister. It would be terrible! Many fights would break out and I would probably be caught because of this. It would be hard for me to stay still and be quiet because, for me, it’s hard not to. I play too many sports for me not to move. Overall, living in this little space would be horrific to me. Emanuel T.

If I was free after months of hiding I would go out and celebrate and find out what has happened in the world since I left it. I think that if Ann was never discovered, she would have went out and try to find her friends that she hasn’t seen since she was in hiding. This might be hard because they probably died during the war. After that, I think that she might try to get a job in what she likes and maybe get married. People might accept her job application more because of her story of hiding for two years. Samuel Biegun

I agree on what you said about Mr. Frank and the rest of the hiders. Like you, I do think he tried to make an effort to restore peace in the Secret Annex. If I was in Anne’s position and I was freed from the Annex, I would do so many things. I would stay outside forever and enjoy the fresh air and sunlight. If Anne was never discovered, I think she would meet up with family and friends. *If they were even alive* She’d also probably enjoy the freedom as well. After two years in a confined box, I would! If she had the money at the time she would probably move to Paris, her dream location. Since Anne is very creative I think she would have published her story herself.

I agree with Ann’s beliefs about people. I think this because people choose to do wrong, it is because they choose to, but naturally they are good. An example from my life would be when I helped Mrs. Lukens clean up after P.E. I did this without going through the struggle of thinking about how to refuse to do it. When you do things by the heart, you don’t really think about doing it, you just do it. If I choose to do something bad, it wouldn’t come from the heart, it would come from thoughts and the brain. Samuel Biegun

I do think that people are good at heart. Though everyone has done something bad to another person, they always are good on the inside. An example of this is a big, tall, and strong guy who seems really mean. On the inside he is a very nice guy. It doesn’t matter how bad they look, or how dumb they are, they are always good on the inside. People who are good at heart are selfless and kind to others. I agree when you said that people who are good at heart do good things without thinking.
