I agree with you and I also think that a stereotype is a certain group of people or images with certain characteristics. If you are really smart or have glasses people will stereotype you and call you a nerd or a geek, and if you have braces you could be called a “brace face”. It could be bad and it could be good. Many people can call others a mean stereotype and hurt their feelings. For example, when you talked about how people say it’s bad that you’re an only child and that you have no friends, that's hurtful. There are bad ones but there could be some good ones. I don’t think I’ve ever been stereotyped before, but I’m glad I’m not in a bad way. I believe that nobody should stereotype anyone in a rude or mean way.
 * // I think stereotype means a specific group or type of people. Some say it’s the type of characteristics you have. Doesn’t matter what kind of characteristics, as long as people are able to spot them, you will be stereotyped. Even if people don’t know you, they will still judge you by how you look or act. To me, that is still considered stereotyped. It can be a good thing or a bad thing. Some people use it as an assault. I feel that it is sort of like racism. Saying someone else is different and them making fun of them for it. I have been stereotyped before in my life. I have been called a dumb blonde, and an only child. And when people say I’m only child, they say it’s a bad thing. They say that I have no friends and no one to talk to and that I’m always alone. I didn’t chose to be an only child so why should people be making fun of me for it. People don’t choose how they look or feel it just comes to them. And others are taking an advantage of others stereotypes. I think that Anne Frank is a stereotype and all of the adults in the annex aren’t seeing that she is trying to appease them. Although, some people consider their stereotype as a good thing. People like being different from others and like who they are. They don’t care what others think of them and if someone tells them something bad about them, they brush it off their shoulders and walk in the other direction. That’s how everyone should act when they are stereotyped. They shouldn’t take it has a bad thing, or think of others as a bad person. You can’t judge others for how they want their life to be. Just like you can’t judge a book by its cover. Therefore, being a certain stereotype can be a good thing but also a bad thing at the same time. //**

Manya Auster Feldman === To me, a stereotype is when a person is judge by how the media portrays people in TV shows and movies. Some common stereotypes are “blondes are dumb” and “Asians are really smart” and “all British people love tea”. While in some cases this may or may not be true, people tend to judge people if they have similar characteristics with a character on TV. I have been stereotyped before in my life. One of my least favorite foods is pizza, (Yeah I know, it’s weird) and simply because of that people tease me. Going even further though, I am also Italian, which doesn’t exactly help with my situation. My friends often tease me about “not being an actual Italian” and all of that. I don’t feel like stereotyping is right because it labels people just because of how one fictional character acts. It can damage people’s self-esteem and make them want to act like the world thinks they should instead of being their own person. === ~Bella C.


 * // These statements say a lot about Mr. Frank. For once someone else in the house is joyful in the annex other than Anne. But it’s not a surprise it was Mr. Frank. He is their leader of the house so he needs to keep everyone happy and not let them think of the worst. It shows that during this time everyone else is sad and not thinking about how lucky they are that they’re still alive. If I had to hide with my family for that long it wouldn’t be so bad because I’m an only child. But I would get bored because I would have no one to talk to. But, if something did happen where my religion had to hide, I know that my neighbors would hide with us because they have the same religion as us. And I would have fun talking to them. I would kind of get tired of them though because we already spent so much time with them and I can’t imagine spending two whole years with them every minute of the day. Especially their youngest daughter who is such a brat. I think I could get used to it though. The most difficult part for Mr. would be sharing the same bathroom. And only bringing what you can carry. I don’t know how the Franks do it all! //**
 * // ~Leon S. //**

These statements show that Mr. Frank is very grateful for having survived with his friends and family for the past 2 years. Mr. Frank is very happy and wants to celebrate the past two years of survival. He thanks God for sparing them and keeping them safe. The other members of hiding must be very happy as well because they are still alive. If I had to be in hiding with my family, I would be very unhappy and scared because if anybody makes any mistakes that could give away our hiding space, we could die. I would be very bored because I can't use any electronics and can only use a few of my belongings. I think the thing that I would hate the most would be the limit on eating. I wouldn't get along well with my family sometimes and I know my sister would want a lot of space. I'm glad I don't have to live in fear in hiding for two years.

These statements show a lot about Mr. Frank. It shows that he has faith that they will survive. It shows that other people in the annex have faith other than just Anne. It shows that he is confident that the residents of the annex will survive. He also seems to remind the audience of why they had to hide by bringing in their religion by thanking their God. Living with another family with my own family for two years would be very difficult because of the lack of privacy. I tend to like having some peace and quiet for myself, and with an entire other family living with me, that would be near to impossible to obtain. Some issues that would evolve from living with another family for two years would be the issue of food. As the food supply diminished, people would argue more and more. ~Bella C

If I was in hiding for 2 years and finally was free, I would do many things. I would spend time with my family or play outside with the friends I had left. I would celebrate the wars end and I would also be very sad for the people that I know that didn’t survive. I might want some time alone after all that time spent with other people, and maybe get relaxed in my room and sleep. I would probably eat as much food as possible and just hang out in my room all day. If Anne survived she would probably go outside and frolic in the sunshine like she always wanted when in hiding since day one. She said that she’d make her diary into a book and spend time with friends and family, and she most likely would do that. I think she would try too have as much fun as possible.

==== If I was forced into hiding for 2 years and was finally set free, I would probably go outside, and value what I had. I would visit my family more often (If they lived) and go outside more often. I would be more thankful about the good life I have, and the education I would be able to get. If Anne and the other residents of the Annex survived through the war, they would all most likely first go and attempt to find anyone that did survive the Holocaust. They would then most likely go on and pursue their dreams, like Anne’s dream to be a writer. I would be very excited to finally be able to talk when I wanted, and go outside whenever, instead of being locked up for days on end. I wouldn’t be able to live the kind of life the Franks did for much longer than they had. ==== -Bella C.

==== If I had to hide for 2 years in the same room with the same family, once I got out, I would probably find all of my friends( if they didn’t die) and hang out with them for days. I would sleep outside and do everything out there. I would also admire my house and thank God for letting me live. If Anne survived once she got out, I would think she would play with her friends and stay outside all day. I feel really bad that she never got to see her friends again. Now I get it the whole story. In the beginning Mr. Frank started to read Anne’s diary and was remembering all that happened. I was wondering why Anne had left her diary up there. The whole thing was a flash back for Mr. Frank. I'm so happy that at least someone survived and got to share the story on. Anne really would have liked living on and knowing that the war had ended. ====

I agree with Anne’s famous quote, “Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart”, for many reasons. I agree because even if you did terrible things all your life and hate everything, that doesn’t mean that your all 100% evil. Sure Hitler and his German forces did some awful, terrible things, but they at least should have some goodness in them. Maybe when they were a baby they laughed and was happy, but they just had some bad experiences when growing up that lead them to joining a war. Even unhappy people should have some good inside themselves. When I get mad at someone I don’t stay mad forever and plan revenge against them or something like that. I don’t lose all the goodness I have inside. Even if I believe I’ll never be happy again I know that I will soon. That’s why I agree with Anne and her famous quote.

Manya Auster Feldman

I agree with her statement. I agree because despite your actions, which might be evil in nature, every human being always has love and kindness inside of them. While Hitler’s actions were wrong and a terrible thing to do, he still had some form of kindness inside of him. I’m not defending Hitler or anything like that, but when he began to exterminate the Jews, he thought he was doing what was right for his country. Even though he was very wrong, he meant to do good for his people, even though it was a tremendously malicious deed. Anne was able to see that every human being on the planet had good in them, even if they didn’t happen to show it. From my life, whenever I see news about an organization or group doing something, whether it be good or bad, I think, even if it’s in the back of my mind, that the group was doing what they thought was best for their people/the people of the world. In war, there is always two sides, and each side believes what they are doing what’s best for their people. For example, When American Colonies revolted against British Rule, many British people saw the rebels as evil, and wanted to end the rebellion. The colonists though, saw the British as evil and wanted to overthrow them. Each side saw the others differently. Each side thought that they were doing the best they could for their people. The British thought they needed to restore peace in the American Colonies, and the Colonists thought they needed to be independent. ~Bella C.

I agree with both of you. I think that there is always some good in everyone. I bet Hitler was nice to people other than the Jews. no matter how bad people are, they will always have some joy left in them. there is this one girl who I hate with all my guts but other people say she is really nice. I don’t know how they think that, but it’s a good example of Anne's quote. to me the girl is rude and mean, but to others she is nice and kind. Anne's quote Is similar to how people act different around others. they can be really nice and funny around you, but then really mean and selfish around others. they can have good and bad in them at the same time.
