To me stereotype means to judge someone based on one thing about them, like jumping to conclusions. There are many things you can be stereotyped on, such as how many kids are in your family, who you are friends with, your grades, what sports you play, your gender, your race/culture, and the way you dress/look. When people are racist it kind of reminds me of stereotype because they are making a judgment on somebody based on their race. That form of stereotype is bad, but there are some good types too. Good stereotype can be like saying “If she is your mom then you must be a really good kid just like she was.” I have been stereotyped before by many people, since I am tall people always say “you must play basketball”. Overall I think stereotyping should stop and you should get to know someone before you come to conclusions.~ Ruth W

Stereotyping reminds me of people “judging a book by its cover” because stereotyping is a judgment on a person’s looks and is a quick conclusion. You can be stereotyped on a lot of things like your race or culture, your gender, or the way you look. Many racists are stereotypical and use it to put others down who are of a different race or culture. I have been stereotyped many times, people know that I am part Asian and assume that I’m really smart. To me, stereotyping is a type of bullying because others use it to put people down. –Abraham Asner

Mr.F words show that he wants everybody to get along and work together. This shows that he is a cooperative person. if I had to live in hiding with others I would go crazy. If it were back then I would be bored out of my mind because they had noting to do all day, no electronics. Although even in these days we would probably have to get rid of our electronics because people can track you down through them. If I were to have to hide out I would probably sleep and eat all day. I would find it really difficult to stay quiet, I wouldn’t be able to sit in complete silence all day. I give Anne and her peers credit for being so quiet and orderly all day. ~Ruth W

I agree that Mr. Frank is trying to get everyone to work together. it shows that he wants what is best for the group. if I ever had to go into hiding I would be torture for everyone, I would complain all day because I would have to part with my phone. I think it would be especially hard to leave my home because it is place full of good memories. I do think that Anne and the rest of the group coped with it well. -Abraham Asner

If I was free after months of hiding I would go outside everyday trying to catch up on everything that I have missed like soccer and basketball and I would be positive everyday knowing what it was like in hiding. If Anne and the group were never found I think that she would have been a successful writer because when Miep  and Mr.Frank found it they had it published and it became very successful if Anne had been alive it would have officially launched her career as a writer. I think she would have continued writing because it was what she wanted to do and she had been so positive so I think she would have had lots of information and stories to tell. -Abraham Asner

I agree I would go outside and play outside for weeks too. It would be such a relief to be able to finally get fresh air and some time alone. I would be as loud as I want and not care one bit. I also agree that Anne would have been a writer, a successful one too. For all those days her favorite thing to do was write and she never got bored. It was a tough and scary time for them I am sure she would have a lot to write about too.~ Ruth W.

I agree with Anne’s beliefs about people because I think that people have the power to turn a new leaf. When I was in elementary school there was always this one boy who was mean to me and after a while he became one of my best friends today. I know that I have been mean to others and they forgave me for making the wrong choices and they let me start over with a clean slate. This supports Anne’s quote because at first I had made bad choices and they let me start over and Anne talks about people being good at heart and she was forgiving everyone in a way by saying that everybody was truly good at heart. Also from past experience at elementary school I know that people can change because I have seen really mean people from elementary school come to middle school and they turned out to be some of the nicest people I know because they decided that they wanted to change their image because going into middle school gave them a fresh start and they changed for the better which really supports Anne's quote. -Abraham Asner

I also agree with Anne's belief about people. Everybody knows right from wrong, but some people choose to do the wrong thing. Many people who don’t do what is right have had a hard life at home. They are good people that are raised in a bad environment. I remember being scared of this boy in elementary school because he was very bad and mean, but then I found out about his life at home and realized that is was only a way of life and a way to cope with things. I also believe that people can change and your story is a perfect example of that. From one year to the next people can decide that maybe doing what is right could be better for them. In your friends case it payed off and I cant think of a time when it wouldn’t. ~Ruth W.
