Diary of Anne Frank

The Diary of Anne Frank is a great book. It shows that even in the darkest times you have to have a little hope to get throw it. Hope is hope is a strong word in some like hate some times hope is hard to have when your being hunted down. I'm using The Diary of Anne Frank because its a inspiring book. But the holocaust could be used in the same seance  because they both bring out the same point that a little hope can go a long way. Back then when the Nazi's started the war the Jews had high hopes that some one would come and save them. But help didn't come till 1942 the British attacked and failed. The Jews were starting to come apart some getting just getting shot on the spot or being put in the ghetto or the camps (concretion camps,gas chambers). If not dying from the the Nazi's they were dying from illness. The ones who would hide had ether been found or lost all hope that the war would end but they still had a little hope that would keep them going the Star of David even in hiding  they tried to celebrate there holidays even tho there wasn't really that much they could do. Think of it like this the had to sit still and be silent for a long time in small spaces like your cupboards and one move or sound could get them found and be killed.

  1. Does the book and learning about the Holocaust inspire you to have more hope? Do you think you could of survived all those hard times with no hope at all?

    1. Leaning about about it and reading the book has inspired me to have a better writing seance and yes more hope. Probably not for me hope is some thing that's hard to come by

  2. You started this blog out strongly but you need to proof read what you've written before posting it (or turning it in to your teacher's as an assignment). I do like how you reiterate how hope is a strong emotion and how you used other examples other then just the book to get the idea of the importance of hope across. Wish it would have been longer and you could have completed more of your thoughts on the subject. Good job son.

  3. I agree with Bob on this one. You have a nicely developed beginners writing style that practice will help you further. You also have a very nice turn of phrase. With a bit of polish you could write very well indeed and hold your readers imagination rather easily. Proof reading will help you find the cohesion in your thoughts on paper. Keep it up!

  4. I like what you wrote. You stated some strong points and made your point boldly. You made sure that the reader knew what the important emotion was; Hope. I am glad that you are learning about this in school. Wish I would have been able to learn about stuff like this when I was in school. How does learning about the past affect you now? Makes you realize that you have life pretty good compared to those people huh? Thank goodness we don't have to live in fear like them. Also, I noticed that you had a few errors in your writing. Not sure if you are able to correct it before turning into your teacher or not, but if you are able to, that might help out a little bit. Also, not sure how long of a blog you are required to do, but if you are able to write more and express more, I think you would have a much better blog and something to amaze your teacher with. But I have to say, I really do like what you have wrote!
