To me stereotype means someone that is automatically put into a social group based on their looks, or actions. Most people stereotype when they first meet someone. It’s usually based on the first impressions of a person. We stereotype them by what they’re wearing or what race they are. And some things are just associated with certain groups of people. Like Asians are smart, girls with blond hair are stupid, and red heads are soulless. These things aren’t usually true. People just automatically assume these things. I don’t know if I have been stereotyped because I don’t have blond or red hair, or anything else that people typically stereotype. I have stereotyped other people though. If I see someone with dark clothes I stereotype them as goth. Or if someone’s really good at math I stereotype them as a nerd. It’s not a very nice way to view people, to automatically categorize them based off of their looks, race, religion, and actions, but most people do. Sidy W.

= Stereotyping to me is putting someone in a specific group based on their appearance, level of intelligence, race, religion etc. Most of the time people don’t even need to actually need to speak to the person in order to “classify” them. Most people just take one look at the person and immediately think “Wow he’s a nerd” or “She is definitely dumb”. Some common stereotypes are definitely Asians are smart, Afro-Americans are athletic and blondes are dumb. In today’s society, these stereo types don’t really apply because everyone is different. They can apply sometimes but definitely not all the time. I have be stereotyped as a nerd because I am smart, and to be honest I couldn’t care less what people call me. I definitely have stereotyped other people, sometimes jokingly sometimes not. I do it without realizing it. Mainly because of social media because now-a days on social media people are constantly stereotyping, and they do it in a comedic way so people think if they stereotype in a comedic way it’s fine. It’s not, don’t stereotype. = = = = Sincerely, = = = = Marton A = = = = = = I think what this reveals about Mr. Frank is that he is always thankful. Those statements (Have we lost all faith? All courage? A moment ago we thought that they’d come for us. We were sure it was the end. But it wasn’t the end. We’re alive, safe. ‘We thank Thee, oh Lord our God, that in Thy infinite mercy Thou hast again seen fit to spare us.’ Come on, Anne. The song! Let’s have the song!”)Show that even in the darkest times, Mr. Frank will always show his thanks and appreciation for him being alive. I think if my family and I lived in the annex, the same problems would arise for my family as they did with the Franks. We would run low on food, argue constantly and become, well, insane. I would probably over react to every little thing because I would become insane for being cooped up in that small space for two years. = = Sincerely, = = Marton Adler = = = = = = I would go and talk to all of my friends if I were got out of hiding. I would do this because most likely I wouldn’t be hiding with them. I would also do this because I would want to see how my friends have changed and I would also like to ask what happened when they were in hiding. Anne would become a dancer or journalist like she had said she would be when she got out of hiding. But I think before that she would also like to see her friends because she always talked about them. I think that she would've make a huge impact on the world. She would influence girls to follow their dreams. Her writing and hopefulness would inspire everyone. = = From, = = Martin A. =

Mr. Frank’s actions reveal that he is a very encouraging supportive person. When he said “Have we lost all faith? All courage? A moment ago we thought that they’d come for us. We were sure it was the end. But it wasn’t the end. We’re alive, safe. ‘We thank Thee, oh Lord our God, that in Thy infinite mercy Thou hast again seen fit to spare us.’ Come on, Anne. The song! Let’s have the song!”, he was encouraging everyone else not to give up hope. He was trying to make them feel better rather than letting himself panic too. If I had to go into hiding with my family I would honestly lose my mind. I have three siblings who are all under five years old. So having to be quiet for many hours each day would be really hard for them. The part I would find most difficult would not being able to go outside. I would not want to be stuck in hiding all day long for two years. Sidy W.

If I was free after two years I would spend as much time as I could outside, and away from other people. I would not really want to be around other people to much because I was stuck with them in a tiny room for a long time. But I would like to talk to my friends. I would want to go and travel to other places so I didn’t have to be stuck in the same place for two long again. If Anne wasn’t discovered I think she would have done what she said and become what she wanted to be. She would probably go and explore Paris like she said in the book. Sidy w.

==** I agree with Anne’s beliefs because I think no matter what, people can always be good people. Most of my friends like to cause trouble or bully others. But a lot of times I see them help people out like pick up some books people dropped or hold open a door for someone. Those are the little acts that show people can still be good people. Another example would be when I play football I used to tease the players on my team that weren’t that good. But during game time, whenever an opposing team member insults or hurts my teammates, I help my teammate right back up and hit the opposing team member. I truly believe that all people can be good at heart, I believe that if any person does something mean or cruel, they still have the ability to do something good. **==

** Morton A **
I believe that most people are good at heart. Even if they make bad decisions they are still good at heart. People always show it when they complement you and other stuff like that. Most people do these things without thinking. When there’s someone mean in class, a ton of other people step up to help anyone they were mean to. So I think that people are good at heart. Sidy W.

Sidy and Morton- I think it is honest of you both to acknowledge that sometimes we stereotype others without even thinking about what we are doing. Realizing this is an important step in making sure we always treat others fairly and don't judge too quickly. -Mrs. C
