Book Review: Dramatic Irony in Anne Frank's The Diary of Anne Frank
Summary: 4 Stars
In Anne Frank’s, The Diary of Anne Frank, Frank captures readers’ attentions by revealing her emotions and appalling experiences that she had in the Secret Annex. Throughout the story Anne Frank expresses her feelings about her company in the Annex and her fear of war. The reader recognizes, even before opening the book, the dramatic irony that awaits them. In one account, Anne writes, “Who else but me is ever going to read these letters?” (63). Immediately the reader knows something that Anne does not. The readers realize that millions of copies of Anne’s Diary have been sold throughout the world, yet Anne has no idea the impact that her diary has made upon others. Also, Anne notes, “I feel wicked sleeping in a warm bed… I get frightened myself when I think of close friends who are now at the mercy of the cruelest monsters ever to stalk the earth” (72). The reader expresses their fearfulness and sympathy for Anne because soon she will be with the “cruelest monsters on earth,” too. The reader feels helpless as they continue throughout the book knowing the horrific experience that Anne is destined to encounter…the brutality and hostility of the Nazi’s, resulting in her death. The audience undergoes comfort when Anne writes about her dream to become a writer and a journalist. She states, “When I write I can shake off all my cares. My sorrow disappears…the big question, will I ever be able to write something great” (246). Through dramatic irony the reader discovers that she has already written something great. They notice that her diary will be recorded as one of the greatest novels written of the Holocaust. Anne’s diary allows readers to realize their pleasures in life and forces them to put their life in perspective. Anne constantly tries to expose the happiness in her life, despite her gruesome experiences in the Annex and compels readers to do the same. As Anne uses her talent in writing to record her experience, she writes, “ I want to go on living even after my death!” (245). Dramatic irony is applied in this statement, since the whole world has witnessed it coming true. Anne Frank’s diary has impacted many with the remarkable accounts it contains. She has accomplished her dream of not only becoming a writer, but has lived on in the hearts of many for over 50 years.Book Review: Anne Frank's Diary: A Review
Summary: 5 Stars
Anne Franks Diary:The diary of a young girlAnne Franks Diary is a remarkable book. Written by a young girl in a time of trouble and terror, she writes what she feels, and what is happening around her, in first person. Anne Franks Diary, is an autobiography of her short life. This book takes readers back to the time of power, greed and expresses what life was like. Also known as the Great Depression.
This book is what the world lived through and how this war impacted human beings, of all sorts. I enjoyed this book because of the high intensity of how this young girl felt. She suffered day on end to survive, with family and friends holding on with her.
" Leave me in peace, let me sleep one night at least without my pillow being wet with my tears, my eyes burning and my head throbbing. Let me get away from it all, preferably away from the world." This quote explains the suffering Anne Frank went threw to survive in this hard time.
The reason why I liked this book is because of the honest opinions honest thoughts and feelings. For people that enjoy historical events and the detail be hide them you will enjoy this book like me. The quotes that really come from the inner sprit of Anne Frank, can get to you, with a few powerful feelings, and words. "A voice sobs within me: There you are, That's what's become of you: you're uncharitable, you look
supercilious and peevish, people dislike you and all because you won't listen to the advice given to you by your own better half." I personally like this quote because it explains how Anne changes she becomes more grown up and more marcher.
I found that I really endured this book because of the reality to her life and thoughts. I also found that the sad times or the touching moments really are what put the book together.
Some other quotes that make this book what it is, are these, "I hope I shall be able to confide in you completely, as I have never been able to do before, and I hope that you will be a great support and comfort to me." "I started by being snappy, than unhappy, and finally I twist my heart round again, so that the bad is on the outside and the good is on the inside and keep on trying to find a way of becoming what I would so like to be, and what I could be, If ...... there weren't any other people living in the world."
I think you should read the book, Anne Frank: the Diary of a Young Girl. Enjoy reading.
Book Review: delicacy, calm candor and beauty
Summary: 5 Stars
Anne Frank's diary has moved millions around the world, past and present, with it's honesty, depth, and poignancy. (Personally, it was Anne's diary that motivated me to write my own journal as a young girl and I continue to write faithfully, ever since. It is one of the few books that I've read which has had the greatest influence on my life.) Anne Frank, a young Jewish girl living in Amsterdam, along with her family, went into hiding along with her family during WWII, when Holland was annexed by the Nazis Regime. During the long years of secret captivity in the building's attic, Anne captured her hopes, loves, fears and thoughts on life in her diary, where she affectionately addressed her entries to an imaginary friend she named "Kitty". Despite the horrible reality of war just outside her window, Anne was a person who could see beyond man's inhumanity to man, and perceive true beauty and the gift of life. Tragically, nearing the war's conclusion, the family's hiding place is mercilessly betrayed to the Nazis...which ultimately culminates in the final chapter of this lovely young girl's life, just prior to liberation. This is a true story...a diary of a young girl....and her voice from the past. It's a memoir of a brilliant and deep being who wasn't afraid to hope for something better, beyond the misery surrounding her. In my opinion, it is a book that every person should read.
It was an overcast day on Saturday, March 9, 2002. I stood just outside of Anne Frank's final dwelling place, the "Secret Annex," at Prinsengracht 263, Amsterdam. I was overcome with great sadness as I gazed up at the small attic window where she must have looked out...a tree-lined canal just across the way. Perhaps she watched the ducks in the water, swallows overhead, the steady sloping of the rain, or the cloud formations....day in and day out. I imagined what it would be like to be a young girl in confinement, yearning to enjoy life amidst the free, only to be shut up, and kept quiet for fear that an audible breath would betray my family's whereabouts and terminate our lives. I wept at the great waste of life, the cruelty, the plundering of innocent lives, and how this amazing young woman maintained the inner strength to endure those years...and had the courage to capture it all with such delicacy, calm candor and beauty.
Book Review: Anne Frank Diary Of A Young Girl Reiew by Lexi Henry Pd. 3
Summary: 5 Stars
Have you ever read the Diary of Anne Frank. I have and it is the best book I have ever read. It is about a thirteen year old jewish girl and her family that had to go into hiding during the Holocaust. Anne Frank was born in Frankfurt,Germany on June 12,1929. Anne writes in her diary that she recieved on her thirteenth birthday in 1942.
In July 1942 she and her family along with four other people were forced to take refuge in an office apartment in Amsterdam. Anne wrote in this diary with intamancy,humor,and her thoughts. This book is the best seller in almost every known language and was sold in almost ever known country in the world. It truly represents the true horror and tragedy of the Nazi occupation.
This book is so moving along with the movie which also blew my mind completely. Anne's thoughts about the changes that were brought upon eight people hiding from the
Nazis for two years during the occupation of Holland,living in constant fear and isolation,imprisioned npt only by the sad circumstances of war but by themselves made me shocked and aware of what they were going through.
Despite the horror and humiliation of thir lives,they never gave up. Anne herself,most odf all this is her picture which comes out so greatly and appealingly from this book. She mature so fast,in these two years,the crucial years from from thirteen to fifteen in which change is so swift and so hard for every young girl. Anne wrote most of the time about things that you could only write without a death threat from your parents which I thought was very brave of her.
These are the thoughts and expressions of a young girl living under extrordinary conditions,and for this reason her diary tells us much about ourselves and other children like us. Her diary is an apropirate monument to her spirit and to the spirit of those who have worked for peace and still are working for peace. "I hope I shall be able to confide in you completely ,as I have never been able to do in anyone else before,and I hope that you will be a great support and comfort to me" a qoute from Anne's diary written on th 12th of June 1942. This is a quote that we should all live by confiding in eachother not fighting with eachother.
