I don’t understand why Anne’s parents are being so strict about her and Peter. I know that Jewish people can be very religious especially about relationships, but you would think that with the situation they were in, all they would want is for them to be happy and keep growing up normally. My parents would be pushing for Peter and I to pursue a relationship. Hell, Mr. and Mrs. Frank could not have been that naïve that they were going to be able to live like that forever behind a bookcase with little food and growing children.
And just like that, its over ... Anne's story. Suddenly, abbruptly it just ends. It's no ones fault, and Anne would not want me to say it was Hitler's falt in the first place because if it weren't forhim she never would have been in the situation in the first place.
Well I finally did it: I read the Diary of Anne Frank. My Hebrew school teacher would be so proud. Anne Frank is a hero in so many ways, making this book a classic truly because she was original and an original beauty. Her heroic feets in this book were the overcommings of immaturity, war, and womanhood. Respectfull as anyone, Anne Frank is most respectful for being normal and overcomming the normalcies and faults we all face. I still cant decide however if we are born with the power to overcome those feats, or if we learn to face them … like an acquired taste.
