Anne Frank

I am still reading the book "Anne Frank" and it isn't all interesting. There are some parts that are interesting because she talks about like things she sees outside and how it looks. She also writes about what happens outside of town like a bombs and dog fights. She is always writing to someone called kitty and our lit circle group never found out who she was. She also always talks about the Secret Annexe. I think i found out who they are and I think that they are the people who are keeping them safe and hidden from the Nazi germans. Also I was thinking that she would be a girl who isn't super mature but then a man taught her about the opposite Gender. Thats what surprised me the most.

Something that I found while reading the book was that she says "I can't tell you, kitty, the feeling that ran through me all the while." Who on Eartf is Kitty? Also there was something that i found disturbing. She loves a man that is 4 year older than her and he also loves her. Anne Frank is only 13 years old. I don't think that it is gonna last because it is just plain awkward for the both of them. When she was describing the moment she was in she had said it was a bit awkward for her. I just hope it doesn't go anywhere bigger. Those are just some things that I found in the book.

Anne Frank: The Diary of A Young Girl

In my lit class we started lit circles. That is where you are in a group reading one book and we discuss. Kinda like a book club. My group is reading "The Diary of Ann Frank" and it is pretty interesting. It is about a young girl named Anne Frank and she is a Jew in the Holocaust. She is hiding from the nazis at someone house but in a secret place. They have been there for quite a while and she has seen things out side the window. She says that she has seen a German and British air fight. She also says that she knows that there was a big bombed dropped in Amsterdam. She is also a very caring person because she doesn't care if someone looks better than her or anything like that. She also kept something that her dad gave to her and said it was very special. I am at about the middle of the book but no where near done.

Anne frank is a loving person because she really care about her family and wants to get out alive. She always writes about what she loves and what she wants to get off her chest really. Sometimes she can be real boring when she writes and at times the things she writes are interesting. She drew a picture about where she is hiding at and some floors. She is always curious about what the day is going to bring. She also sometimes seems a little dramatic. In one day she writes that she is not jealous of a girl but I think she is saying that so that she doesn't think about it. I really want to know what she was like in real life because a diary doesn't really show who you really are.

Holocaust bystander / up stander

In my Lit class, we have been reading about some holocaust bystanders and up standers. I have learned so far that people have risked their lives for others and some even died helping. There was a man named Schindler and what he did was amazing because he saved many lives during the Holocaust. Also some of the jews were even resisting to do whatever the nazi police would tell them to do. They would riot and create armed groups. Thats when they have guns and what not. Then there were bystanders. They wouldn't do anything to help because they didn't want to be involved in the killing. They didn't want to risk their lives either. They also thought that it didn't even effect them in any way. I would have done the same because i would have been scared for my life. I don't like talking to strangers and I don't think I can keep things hidden for awhile. I wouldn't even know what to do when the time came.  I would have stayed home and live my life as it is. I'm scared of just thinking of death. Why on Earth would i want to do something so risky that it could end my life. I really don't think I am going to stand up for anything in life. I'm just going to stick to what ever I have to do.
