 Anne Frank Review 7Y By Joe Meyer

The Annex.... That one word that meant a dangerous haven for the Franks. __The Diary of a Young Girl__ By Anne Frank. The main theme is hope. Hope that something will come true. That a dream will be intact. The genre is a true historical story.

 The book tells a deep, emotional plot. It is memorable because it was a true story. It was written someone my age, but it a whole different time, a terrible time. When I was reading this story I found my concentration so strong on the story that it felt like I was right next to Anne when she was writing. My mind did wonder on what was going to happen. At the start I knew what was going happen, but I did not know when it was going to happen

 The problem was that the Franks had to keep from being captured by the Nazi because they where Jewish. If they where captured they would have been sent to the concentration camp. The book showed me how be a outcast for something you believe in is wrong. The author did achieve what she sent to get out. That one thing she sent out was the question “ Why”. Why are we being persecuted? Why are we so different?

 I think anyone above the age of 12 would enjoy this book to its full potential. I like this book because it was a different point of view of the war, it is a true story, and it is written by someone my age. I would compare this book to Hitler Youth. This is because it two whole different point of views. The Hitler Youth are brainwashed by propaganda to hate the Jews. The Jewish community does not know why, but they are being persecuted.

Anne Frank was 13 years old when she got her diary. She has a cat who she had to leave behind when she went to the annex. At the end she died in a concentration camp, but her father lived. Her diary lives on. I would give this book 4 out of 5 stars because of its plot and theme. This is where you can purchase the book!

“Hail Hitler” a quote that will haunt many Germans for the rest of their lives. Hitler Youth main theme is to follow the word of the wise. I say this because great power can never be handled. Power itself builds its way up taking each man with him. Some fear power but don’t know how to go against it, but be engulfed in it. Hitler use carefully twister statements that brought the people of Germany to make them his supreme leader. This is where the power goes unstable. This book has the most interesting story of power, triumph and hardships.

Hitler Youth tells the most unbelieving hand trembling story. It was hard to believe these people and children where put through this time. History we look at as something that we will not go through. That's because of them, and that's why we have not experience this feeling. When i was reading this book i was feeling this scary looming feeling like the Germans where watching me. It made me really think about what i read. It was like in world war II. The words made it feel like Hitler was actual trying to do something good for Germany. Then power took the biggest man of his mind set. My mind was totally focused on the book but in away it was thinking for itself. While my eyes saw it my brain read it.

Anyone who is in for a book that is true and is historic, scary, and true this book is for you. To the historians to the kids interested in this topic it won’t let you down. Hands down this is one my favorite books for many reasons. Its a true story, even i couldn't believe it happened it was that fascinating and scary. I could relate to it because I research WWII for a couple years and my grandpa served during it. This book with my grasping for more and ended with my mind just thinking.

Hitler....... A corrupted man with his power pushing him to his limits. He expands Germany’s military against the treaty's and gets Germany into another war. People are scared to rebel and if they do they will be killed. The book showed me to don’t take everything in instantly. Understand the concepts, what they are asking for, and tricks and always communicate with the people, do not lose your freedom.

I like leave one quote.............. Power never finds time to rest it head.............

I say this because, depending on how hard times get you will have group protecting you. Many find groups aggressive and do not want to be in them. It like they are born into one of them. You must adjust and fight with them. Brotherhood keeps everyone in a haven that last a short period of time. Brotherhood always becomes stronger with the weakest group because they have the greatest amount of heart. This book shows all of these traits about brotherhood.

It was unfair for the greasers. It was like everyone was against them. They where running uphill as the socs where given everything the greaser could dream about. When reading this book it made me feel like I had to pick a side and stand up for it. It also felt like each side kinda wanted to stop all this fighting but they did not want to admit it. This book made me feel like these two opposing groups where literally fighting for a unknown reason. Many people might think that it just two groups fighting but its more then that. It two groups clashing to find out what the outcome if they succeed.

The fighting is quick and brutal and not like a full assault. I recommend this book to teachers, and students that want to enjoy a book that will keep there attention. This is a great book, but not one of my favorites. I say this because the book is enjoyable but starts to feel like it has the same dialogue. I could relate to this book because it our time almost everything involves two groups fighting for control. For example, school, politics, religions, government, armed forces, gangs, and sports teams.

The socs or the socials, the rich ,educated gang that like to attack the greasers. The greasers are poor but have one thing, brotherhood. The greasers still holding against the socs attacks until one of the attacks change everything. Ponyboy and Johnny, two greasers where taking a walk until the where jumped by socs. The socs where drowning Ponyboy, until Johnny could not take the horror. Johnny took out his switchblade and stab one of the socs........ making him a murderer even though it was self defense. People either watched two groups fight, or join one of them. Almost nobody understand that fighting is pointless and tries to stop them....

At some point it felt boring but it would speed up and gain my attention. I will end with a quote, “keep your friends close, and your enemies closer”.
