Anne Frank Tin the day of today


If Anna Frank would be in a different historical context i think that she will act and live differently because she won't have no one to hide from or not much danger like there is back then. The place would be different from where she lived to now because she would have more space and more food to eat and be extra healthy. And i think she would talk very differently because that was several years ago and things change so i think she would talk just like us.

Anne Frank book clubs response #1

What i have read in the book so far is that she and her family are working on the Hiding place, They are now just making sure its safe and comfortable.
-I can connect this part of the book with other people that like making sure their place is safe and sound and where no one will get hurt.
-I can predict that they are gonna all be safe and get all their goals done! but at the same time i think something bad is gonna happen to them while they hide.
-I don;t really find the book that interesting at this point, But I'm going to do the effort to get more into the book and Anne shoes.
-At this point Anne hasn't Really change her personality.

Anne Frank book clubs response

  • I can connect this diary with other people's diary like my friend Anais ... because she has a diary and she writes kinds of stuff like Anne frank such as ... Boy stuff and her friends her parents being annoying or champs of any kind of game.
  • For now my favorite character is Anne Frank because she is the author and also that is about her life and stuff and i really like the way she acts ...
  • On page 2 she says she wrote on her diary on Monday, 15 June 1942 and then she wrote again Saturday, 20 June, 1942 ... i would've written more to understand more of what happen during that stretch of time she did not write on her diary, and help the reader understand more.

Alice walker's poetic styels

The time period she started writing was on the 1950's
1952: At the age of eight, Alice is accidentally blinded by one of her brothers while playing a game of "Cowboys and Indians."
1952-58: Alice is ostracized as an outcast because of her scar. To deal with her feelings of loneliness, Alice begins to read and write poetry.
1958: At the age of fourteen, while visiting her brother Bill in Boston, Alice is taken to a hospital to have the cataract in her eye removed. She becomes confident and her life is transformed.

Cited from "Living By Grace"

I think this time period influenced her poetry by giving her experience of what things in life did to her so she started writing and her life became confident. For example on 1958 At the age of fourteen, while visiting her brother Bill in Boston, Alice is taken to a hospital to have the cataract in her eye removed. She becomes confident and her life is transformed.
After reading her biography i think what happened in her life experienced her poetry because she used what had happened to her and maybe write a poem that connects with that.
The poets style's was easy to understand because she would maybe draw an image and helped you understand what image maybe came to her head while writing the poem... She also used many poetic devices such as Rhyme, Simile,metaphor...ect.
