I don’t think the author believes our situation is equal but I do think the author thinks that there are some similarities, I think this because in the text it says, “The risk of going outside for her was certainly much greater than it was for you and me during lock-down; the risk of death much more imminent."

Anne Frank is like me because we both were spending a long time locked inside. We’ve both had a lot of time to think and reflect on her own emotions and thoughts. “Learning to manage their emotions was critical for their coexistence. So, Anne turned to her diary”, implies that Anne being in the annex with others, without being able to express her emotions fully was hard, but she found a way to help herself, which is something I, along with many others are trying to do during this time. (14)

Like Anne I believe that if you are happy others will be happy because it shows when you are truly happy and makes you more fun to be around. Anne said “Whoever is happy will make others happy”. I agree with this statement because it has some truth to it.

Her words reflect on times today because of some similarities that we have. They could not go outside just like we can't to protect our lives and the lives of others. "We stayed indoors to literally save lives, whether it was our own or those of others."

Her situation is similar to our own because everyone had to stay inside for safety.

Anne had to go into hiding kind of like us were we had to go into lockdown and “hide from the virus”.

I think the main idea was not to say our situation was equal to Anne’s situation but to learn from Anne situation and stay positive and to always look on the bright side, like Anne. In the text it says, “So, whilst I don’t mean to equate Anne Frank’s experience to what we’ve lived through this year I do think lockdown has been hard. And on some superficial level, Anne Frank was an expert, so I think there’s a lot we can learn from her experience”(3).

Anna found light in the darkness by continuing to write even when things were hard. She could have given up and stopped writing but she didn't, she kept writing and became the light forever one else. In the text it said “I can shake off everything as I write; my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn." which shows why she kept writing. she wrote to keep herself going.

I think the main idea of the text is that even though through hardships we think we don’t have anyone but we have ourselves and that’s all we need. We can help ourselves get through this and be strong. “This isn’t the time to become complacent; to sit back and wait for others to solve our problems.  A lot has gone wrong—everywhere. Yes, it’s a time to reflect, but it’s also a time to act.  It’s an opportunity to make changes and improvements.” (7) “With limited opportunities to socialize, we’ve been forced to spend more time with ourselves; to speak less and think more. This break from normality isn’t necessarily going to hold you back. It’s an opportunity to slow down and think about what you really want. What’s important to you?” (4)

Anne frank is like us since the picture it shows how they were hiding and how quiet that to be since if they made one mistake they would be punished. It says in the text "the risk of going outside for her was certainly much greater than it was for you and me during lock-down; the risk of death much more imminent." Her life depended on it, and even though it’s not as harsh as this pandemic we can still learn from her experiences. It makes us alike that.

Anne Frank had found light in the darkness of times was through her diary. Her diary which she got for her 13 th birthday had let her express her emotions in the book and let her brain flow. "...there were many outlets through whice Anne could express herself. No singing, no dancing, no running, or jump rope. Her diary was the only place where she could materialize her imaginsation." When she and her family were hiding from the Nazis, she expressed her experiences and her thoughts in her diary. Anne could no express anything physically so her diary was the only thing that kept her happy and free. (5)

The author explains that Anne’s words of positivity are something we can apply to our lives now to stay motivated and happy during these sad and depressing situations. The author says, “Laughter is infectious, we just have to get the snowball rolling.” This implies that once we find the bit of happiness we need to take advantage of it and keep it alive. (10)

 #7 “Don’t think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains” (30). This quote spoke to me because it is very powerful and honest. You cannot let all the bad things let you down, because you must find the things that make you happy. It shows how you can find light amid darkness.

Anne stayed optimistic and was able to find the light and the beauty in the world and rather than think of all that’s gone wrong she still looked at the bright side, she still had hope. Anne was able to stay strong and everyday she wrote in her diary and continued. Like Anne said, “where there’s hope, there’s life. It fills us with fresh courage and makes us strong again”(16).

I think Anne was some what like me because we are both in a situation where we have to stay inside and in hiding and having very little things to do and having so much built up energy. Anne’s situation was more life threatening though. In the text it says, “The risk of going outside for her was certainly much greater than it was for you and me during lockdown; the risk of death much more imminent.”

The main idea of this text is to show how our quarantine is much easier to Anne Frank’s quarantine. You can find proof for my statement in the paragraph under the photo where it says, “Her life was placed on hold because her survival literally depended on it.”

The quote in the text that states “I think a lot, but I don’t say much… A quiet conscience makes a strong one.” I can relate to what Anne has said in this because I do not talk as much as I think and if I did, I would be a much more talkative person compared to who I am now.
