It can mean many different things. Peter shows hate when he says, " You can't throw...? Something they branded you with...? That they made you where so they could spit on you?" Another example of hate would be when
Faith
Another theme is that Faith can get you through obstacles. Anne had faith when she was talking bout how she knows that she's going to do something good with her life. She was also talking about how she wanted to be a writer and how she's going to Paris when the war is over. She says," I'd cut my throat first! I'd open my veins! I'm going to be remarkable! I'm going to Paris...". This describes how she will show faith when she gets through the obstacle of the nazis in control of the Jews. Another example of Anne shows faith is that she will be rescued by the allies, on page 427 Meip says,"Mr. Frank ...the most wonderful news!...The invasion has begun!"

I shall definitely let my children read her." It shows faith because Anne believes that she won't always be in the ennex.
