Stereotype to me means when you put a label on someone by their looks, age, what they like or even meeting them once. Basically when you automatically put a name tag on someone just by what they are wearing, who his or her friends are or one thing they say. My sister always says all the central bucks high schools are stereotyped like for example South is the want to bes. Last year all the six grade teachers blamed the six graders for writing on the bathroom wall and never even said anything to the fifth graders and we got in huge trouble and in the end it was a fifth grader and we got blamed. I probably have been stereotyped I don’t really know what I would be stereotyped as, in fifth grade people used to always call me a teacher’s pet because I was my teacher’s favorite because he had my sister. I don’t think I have ever really stereotypes someone before I usually like to get to know people first before I know I don’t really like them that much but I really don’t think I have ever actually stereotyped someone I probably have once or twice but I don’t really like to.

I think a stereotype is how people believe or think you are. They could be judging them on the way they dress, how they talk, what religion they follow, or even the color of their skin. In the book Wonder, Auggie is stereotyped for his looks. All the kids make fun of him without even knowing him, or even thinking twice about how it might hurt his feelings. I don’t think I have ever been stereotyped before, but I have seen it happen to others. I have never stereotyped others, because I don’t feel it is right. Also, what really counts is in the inside, who cares if they are different.

I don’t like to stereotype people either, it’s mean. Mr. Frank words reveal that he is caring for the ones he is living with and trying to calm them down. He is a very faithful person he wasn’t scared about the robbery he said everyone will be fine. He is a brave and caring man. If I had to live like that for two years I think I would go crazy. I like talking and even though I am kind of shy when I am with my family and people I am close to I am very loud. Also I like to move around a lot, so I would probably be super bored being silent and still for hours. My family wouldn’t be able to do it we would probably get in arguments because were all talkative and have to be doing something. Also my house is very spaced out with lots of rooms so we don’t really share much and moving into a little place with only a couple rooms I think we would all go crazy.

Brenda R These statements suggest that Mr. Frank is determined, and never gives up. Also, he wants to encourage the others to be the same. The emotions from other characters during this stressful time relieves that they just want their freedom back, and starting to get impatient after living in tight corners for two years. I think if I lived in tight corners with family and others, sickness would probably spread quicker. In addition, there would be a lot of arguing over food etc. I think after two years living in those conditions I would be mentally unprepared for going back into “the real world.” Also, I think I would be angry.

Although it was a unfortunate for the Franks to be hiding for over two years, if I was in that situation but eventually free I would go outside and embrace the sun just like what Anne dreamed of. I think if Anne got out safely she would tell her story to others and hopefully inspire them to never loose hope even in bad situations. I think she would want to teach people to never give up and keep dreaming. Also, she would publish her diary into a book just like she said she wanted to happen. Although she passed away many years ago her legacy still remains and I think she would proud of that.

 I agree if I was in hiding for two years, I would go outside and enjoy the fresh air and the sun. If Anne frank got out okay I think she would go outside and I think she would want to publish her diary herself and hopefully become a writer. I think this because in the play she said her dream was to get her diary published and made into a real book. if I was in a small space two years with a bunch of people and suddenly I could go outside and had freedom I think I would go crazy. from, Brenda R

I agree with Anne’s belief that people are still good at heart because when someone makes a bad choice and they get caught, that doesn’t make them a bad person. They could have made the bad choice for a reason, maybe to protect someone or even peer pressure. I believe if people make a bad choice they deserve a second chance, depending on what they did. Although I have never been in this situation, I think if I was I would give that person a second chance and let them make up and apologize for their mistake. -Zyta E

I agree, people deserve a second chance if they make a mistake. Anne is also right people are good at heart. People may make mistakes and it may make them seem cruel or rude but truly everyone has some one they truly care about and would do anything for. Everyone is kind at heart even if its just towards one person. to be honest I don’t have any life experiences to back up my decision this is just what I believe.
