To me, a stereotype means a category that someone else puts you in. It is all they think about when they think of you. They put other people in that category based on your similarity. What people should be doing is focusing on each other’s differences. People stereotype different cultures, school ability, and so many other things. I’m not sure if I have ever been stereotyped, but I probably have. I think everyone has stereotyped somebody else at least once in their lives. It is not nice, but everyone does it. Everybody should try not to stereotype others because everyone is a lot more than just a simple category you’re put in. –Aaron S.

Stereotypes can be like a definition for someone or a title. Usually you don’t give yourself a stereotype, someone who wants to put others down so basically a bully. For example, the movie Mean girls, in the beginning it shows all the groups of kids in the cafeteria and says what each group is called like the geeks, the want to bee’s, the plastics, etc. Stereotypes have no meaning to them because people can ignore them, which everyone does, but if someone doesn’t ignore them it could change their life and something bad could happen. No matter what, people should stop stereotyping and just worry about themselves because it’s wrong. ~ Irene B

I agree with your definition of a stereotype, and bullies stereotype people all the time. Also, I think Mean Girls is a really good example of stereotyping too. For the second response, I think Mr. Frank's words reveal that he is a leader in the group. He is also very hopeful, motivating, and has a lot of courage and wisdom. Other characters in the group are very different from Mr. Frank. For example, Mrs. Van Daan  is negative, not motivating or courageous, and always thinks the worst of any situation. If I had to live in hiding with my family, I would probably not even talk at all because all we would doo is argue. It would be miserable! What I would find most difficult would be all the time spent together and living in the same small space for so long. I think I would get claustrophobic. -Aaron S.

I agree with you, Mr. Frank words do reveal that he is a leader but his words also reveal that he gets worried a lot, like if they hear something outside. The characters all copy Mr. frank because if he gets scared they get scared. There would be a lot of problems hiding with my family because we are really loud, small space, and not enough food for our whole family. Problems that would be most difficult for me would be claustrophobia because I cant be in small spaces. ~ Irene B

If I was set free after many months of hiding, I would go to my favorite places, eat my favorite foods, and try to find all my friends and family. If Anne was never discovered, she said she would want to ride a bike again, to laugh till her belly aches, to have new clothes, to have a hot tub and wallow in it, and to be back in school with her friends when she got out of hiding. Anne likes to be outside and loves her family and friends. She never got to see what Germany was like after the war and if Meip and Mr. kraler survived. ===== ~ Irene B

I agree with you about all the things I would do if I just came out of hiding. But I would also want to see how the world has changed since I went into hiding. I would also want to go to new places and try to do new things. If I were to go into hiding for two years, my mind would just be thinking about all the memories I had and all the new things I never got the chance to do yet. I agree with you about the things Anne would have done if she had gotten out safely, like riding a bike, having new clothes, and seeing all her friends. But if Anne would have gotten out of hiding, I think she would have eventually gone to Paris. She said that it was her dream to go there in Act 1, and I think, based on her character, that she would have actually gone to Paris and became something great. -Aaron S.


 * I disagree with Anne because not everyone is good at heart because lots of people do bad things that people who were “good at heart” wouldn’t do. For example, if you murder some one that is just cruel, if do that then you don’t care about anyone, and you don’t have a heart. But I know lots people would say “ well everyone deserves a second chance” or “ what if it was an accident”, well I can see why you could that because if they didn’t mean too, but what if you were the victims family I don’t think you would think that suspect deserves a second chance. If you have ever watched the news and seen a hit and run, that explains what I’m trying to say, if you hit someone the least you could do is get out of your car and help the person, But speeding off after you hit them is just cruel. That is why I disagree with Anne. ~ Irene B **

I agree with you about disagreeing with Anne. Hitler was not good at heart, the Nazis were not good at heart, and during World War II, a lot of people were definitely not too good at heart. But there were people that were good at heart, like Anne Frank. The actions we take determine whether or not we are truly good at heart. For example, murders like Hitler exterminated a terrifying number of people, and didn’t feel any remorse or sympathy. This person would not be good at heart for obvious reasons. These are the reasons why I disagree with Anne. What Anne said though is very remarkable because she had been hiding out in an annex for two years, and still was optimistic and saw the best of the human race in such a depressing time in history. – Aaron S.
