Anne Frank.!

Anne Frank is third teen
She is hiding with her family
She spends her time reading books inside
She's energetic and very kind
I wished she was still alive
She has her own diary
She writes in it everyday
Writing about what she did
During her hiding from the green police
During hiding, she was the youngest kid

When she went into hiding, she was third teen
She survived three years after but got found
And no person deserves to die at age sixteen
Or having to hide from all around

Anne frank I can't believe she went through it
I feel sad that she didn't enjoy her childhood
Wanting to play outside for a while at least
Or at least talk to her friends from school
But not being able to because of hitler

Being in the attic wasn't that bad for her
She had someone to talk to
Tell him how she feels and that person was Peter
A person she can't blow off steam with
A person who understands her like her father

Character Analysis.!


The character I chose to write about was Anne Frank because I think she was very involved. She was third teen years old when her family and her went into hiding with the Van Daan. She was basically the main character in the story because she was the youngest and she was put into hiding. She was always interested into everything from books that she read to stories about when Mrs. Van Daan was young. She was mercurial in her feelings, like she would be happy one minute then sad the other minute. Even though she was third teen she was quick in her movements, she'd do her lesson next thing you know she's on the floor wrestling with Peter. Anne is also a smart butt or just knows how to act smart and knows how o find , she always has comebacks. She has to keep her bottled-energy inside her quiet during 8 in the morning to 6 in the afternoon. She such a good writer and is very good in math also. Anne has a kind of bad relationship with most of the other characters. She talks very much and gets mostly everyone annoyed especially the Van Daans. She hurts her mother emotionally during the play only because she suppose only loves her father and nobody else.

Anne frank wasn't the only kid that Mrs. Frank she had an older sister named Margot. Every time Anne gets into mischief she gets up being told that she should be more like her sister. And every time they do she gets mad because she doesn't like to be "stepped on all over". Which is one quote she says because she gets mad. However I think the most important line she said was "Save me! Save me!” She told this line when she was sleeping and she was having a nightmare of the green police taking her away and her family and she couldn't do anything. I think it's the most important line because it shows how really scared she was of being found. And how going into hiding is very risky, dangerous and just plain scary if you get found. So this line showed me that her feelings of being in the attic were very scary if anyone knew or found them. I think this because she was having nightmares of being found and being taken away to a death camp. Or just being separated from her family and never is going to have the chance to at least see them one more time. And just the thought of that being in the attic hiding from the green police was just scary!

What is Drama.?


When people think of Drama you think of people having an argument. Drama is just when people start hating and become haters. They think of this because that's what it usually is but not all the times. Sure you might see it in movies but you can see it in many plays as a literature theme. Drama is many things to many different people and they are all different meanings but the most famous meaning is two people arguing about a pointless reason.
Drama has many parts in movies and plays like actors, scripts, stages, and many other things. These things are very important in drama like the scripts without them the actors wouldn't know what to say. And without actors who is going to be acting out the play? Or who is going to see a play with no stage.? How about who is going to want to see people acting in there average clothes instead of costumes.? Without any of these things and other stuff who is going to want to see Drama.

Without drama I think there just won’t be any good movies or good plays or good entertainment! I think this because drama is basically what makes people connect in a way and also separate. It’s what makes the world spin(other than love) and what makes you and your parents, bigger sibling and even your friends alike/ connect! If the world had no drama I don’t know what I would do I would think there will not be no fun in the world. There would be no good movie like Alice in Wonderland starring Johnny Depp. There would be no good television shows like Sponge bob Square pants to see. There wont be Anyone because everyone has drama in them even since you were in diapers you have experienced drama!
