Alway Keep A Positive Attitude
This theme has reoccured several times in The Diary of Anne Frank. There were many times that their positivity was put on trial. Anne's positivity was put on trial right before they went into hiding, but she kept positive. On page 376 Anne said, "I slept, Father. Wasn't that funny? I knew it was my last time in my bed, and yet I slept soundly." Anne was able to fight through the negative in her rough life and believe that she will later have a normal life. On page 388 Anne said, "I'm going to be a famous dancer or singer... or something wonderful."
Perserverence Is The Key To Life
This theme reoccured in the story several times. On page 379 Mr. Frank says, "It'll be hard, i know. But always remember Anneke. There are no walls, there are no bolts, no locks that anyone can put on your mind." Mr. Frank gave Anne a reason to perservere through all of their trials. Another example is when the allowed Mr. Dussel to live with them even though they had very little space. On page 390 Mr. Frank says, "Of course we will... Bring him up." to Mr. Kraler
I chose the character Anne Frank. I believe that Anne's symbol is an open book because she loves to read and write. In the play there are many times that it has Anne writing in her diary. Another example is that she is always asking Miep to bring her good book for the closest library.
