The Diary of Anne
Frank
(A
Critical Analysis)
Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl, is a good story but
also a sad and tragic one. It is all about love and loss, a love for the family
and friends and a loss of someone who you love. This book teaches us that if
you are different from others you’re not allowed to be with them. Once you read
the book you’ll also feel what Anne’s felt when she was experiencing all the
hardships in her life.
This book can catch the attention of a reader because it is
easy to understand although for me there are some words that I cannot
understand but there are a dictionary that can help me to understand the
unfamiliar words. This book also tells stories about the past, about the
happenings during the War. As a reader, it is also affects me because as I read
every painful lines or words coming from Anne it feels like I can also feel
what Anne’s feeling. I know it is bad to feel pity for a person but I can’t
help it and it turns to her point that I don’t want to continue reading anymore
because I don’t want to see or read any of Anne’s suffering.
I think this book’s purpose is to open our eyes and to be
aware of what happened before and after the war, to know what suffering they
gone through in a year. At first, when you open the book it’s look like it is
boring because of its pages, fonts and its format but I assure you, when you
finished reading it’s all worth it. You’ll be also entertain with the pictures
inside, you’ll be curious about something and imagine the scene you’re reading.
She delivers the message she want to know us by writing her own experiences
during that period.
These are the essential information about the book: Title: Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young
Girl; Author: Anne Frank, Otto
Frank; First copyright date: 1952 by
Otto Frank, and as years passed, this was published under many authors; Type of book: Nonfiction; Price: 295.00; ISBN: 978-0-553-29698-3. These were the other essential
information: a. I think to know what
happened during that time and to know what her experiences are during that
time. b. Anne Frank’s point of view
was written in the book. c. She
wasn’t trying to explain something technical to convince the reader of a
belief’s validity by dramatizing it in action because she wrote her diary to
have someone that will listen to her and she didn’t even know that her diary
will be published and wrote such a thing that doesn’t true. d. The genre of this book was
autobiography, this fits to the book because this is a diary that tells the story,
experiences, and thoughts of a person. e.
The intended audience of this book, I think it’s for everyone, to be aware of
what are the struggles that occur during World War II, what they were thinking
during that time, what they were felt when they don’t have a freedom to do what
they want and feels like they were on prison because of a law that if you’re
different from other you’re forbid to do what you want to do. f. I think that the author’s style is
formal because of its content that shows that the book that she writes is well
written and has a full development and yes its suit the intended audience. h. The book affects me so much because
of what Anne and her family goes through. I learned that not everyone with a
smiley face or an innocent face doesn’t have their problems sometimes they
smile and pretend to be happy to hide the pain and sadness that their feeling
right now. Once I was sad or having a hard time, I really don’t know where to
go and who can I tell my problems and I don’t feel like telling my whole story
to a person because I’m afraid that they might tell my problem to others. i. They really did to achieve their
goal, not only to show people what happened in the past but also relay the
message that they want us to know. j. Yes,
because it is a nice story for a teenager like us, happenings during teenagers
and I know that if I recommend this book they will surely like it.
I think the theme of this book is a young girl who wrote
about her feelings and fighting for their life. Obviously, the method used to
write this book is narration because it is a diary. This book is useful for the
readers because it can shows us the reality. Its main argument, its look like
it is true because this book is a nonfiction and a diary. I disagree in the way
of Nazis tortured Jews, I know that it’s the period of War but for me, I didn’t
like it, I don’t want to see people experiencing hardships and feeling hurt. This
book’s issue is all about Nazis who get them and kill them also about the war.
The problems that are left unsolved, I think it is who are truly the reason why
the Frank family get caught in their hiding and when they got tortured and got killed, I
think it is not enough to make that pass because to my part it’s not a people
who can do things like that. I seriously didn’t see anything that doesn’t
convincing, for me. Maybe their is another story that is similar to this book, I
haven’t seen any book or story just like this. Her literary skills is awesome
for me, it seems like she continued studying during the hiding and after they get
caught.
These are the further information about the author, first
Anne Frank, her full name is Annelies Marie Frank, she is the original author
of the diary of a young girl because she owns this diary and she’s the one who
wrote it. Her birthday is on June 12, 1929, she was born in Frankfurt, Germany,
she attended Sixth Montessori School, and she has an older sister, Margot. Her
father is Otto Frank and her mother is Edith Frank. The second author is her
Father, Otto Frank because he was the one who established this book since Anne
Frank was gone. He once worked at a local bank for one year. When he went home
to Germany, he took a job with fabricated window frames. During World War I, he
worked for manufacturer of horseshoes for Germany military. Years later, in
1936, he would further exhibit his business acumen by establishing the Opekta
Company and appointing himself as director. Two years later, he would set up a
second company, Pectacon. There were also some illustrations in the book to
understand more the story and where they went to hide. The type of book was a
pocket book type so it is easy to carry. I haven’t seen any typographical
error. Connection between author’s philosophy, life experience and reviewed
book, I think her philosophy in life was came from her experiences in life, she
wants to live her life to the fullest. She experience a lot of things and she
learn and saw the truth about life and opens your mind about it. When you
experienced it can change your beliefs.
Every chapter or entry of Anne in her diary, at first I can’t
understand it fully because of its lack of information but as chapters goes by
I came to understand it. There’s another information or character that Anne
will include. It can clarify things because Anne explains everything in her
diary. I haven’t seen any bibliography that mentioned in the book, maybe I have
seen a title of a book but there is no further information about it.
Anne Frank wrote a diary because she don’t have a real friend.
She want a friend that will listen to her since no one will believe that she
feels herself quite alone in the world. She wanted to bring out all kinds of
things that lie buried deep in her heart. She starts writing about her life
events, her family, her thoughts, schooling and her friends. She also wrote
about boys. After that, she called her friend, diary, Kitty. She first wrote
about what happened in the past, about her birthday, birthday party and up to
the present day which she starts writing a diary. She says that their life was
filled with anxiety because of the full impact of Hittler’s anti-Jewish laws,
their freedom was limited in this time. She talks about her family a lot, about
her hobby, playing ping pong, eating ice cream. She also talked about her
schools, about her grades. Then one day, her father talked about leaving
because Nazis might fetch them and they need to go into hiding. For her, it’s
like her whole world turned upside down, her mummy go to see Mr. Van Daan to
discuss whether they should move into their hiding place and that they were
going with them. In the morning, they started to wear all their clothes even
it’s hot because she says that no Jews in their situation would have bring
suitcase that full of clothes. They didn’t care about impressions, they only
want to get away, only escaped and arrive safely. They moved to their place
where they will going to hide, it’s called Secret Annexe. Then, she realized
that they were so many changes in her life since of their arrival and realized
what just happened and what will going to happen. She think she never feel
really at home in that house she feels like they were on vacation. She was
really afraid that someone might hear them or see something going on. She wish
that one of their protectors could sleep there at night, she is really afraid
that they shall be discovered and be shot. They have to whisper and tread
lightly so no one can hear them. She met the son of Mr. And Mrs. Van Daan and
finds him boring. She was enjoying the view when she was lying at the attic and
watched the sun shine through an open window. Months and years have passed them
experienced hunger, and boredom inside their hiding place. Until one day, they
were discovered and they were brought in a camp where they were tortured by the
soldiers. They experienced hunger there and it’s like they’re fighting to live,
they become slaves. They were really afraid that they might die like that. The
only survivor of their family is Otto Frank.
Biography
1. No, the book doesn’t give a
full-length picture of a subject. There are picture inside the book that can
help us understand more the story but it is not full length and it is a right
size of a picture.
2. I think it’s when the subject
suffer too much because this is where the subject is weak and a lot of this
suffering is written on the book.
3. The point of view of the author, I
think it’s the fact that the story is about her life and she wrote about the
War and their experiences.
4. The subject matter organized, it
can be chronologically but it is near to retrospectively that relating to the
past or that happened in the past because this story happened in a period of
World War II.
5. The author shows extensive study
into the subject’s life, not literally study because first of all the subject
is also the author.
6. I only used the book and research
some details at the internet.
7. Yes, because it is the book that I
used.
8. Yes, because the author is the
subject so the author know her motives.
9.It’s only my opinion but its her
want to be grown up, she want to live in a normal way, she don’t want war but
peace, she want to study in an ordinary school and make friends although they
have a different religion.
10. I think it’s the subject being
there in the history, the subject experienced and suffered a lot in the past.
11. I think it’s by seeing that not
only the subject experience that kind of tragic. You’ll see that not only Anne
Frank experienced being there and being tortured.
12. This was the only book of Anne
Frank so there is nothing to compare.
