hmm... have you read her book (well a diary)?
 
Why ask me? little of that and there. Like Anne feeling that people putting restrictions on them because of their race. Like Hitler against jewish, disable people, deaf, etc. Making people feel low.

because you're the one who created this thread and said that her stories remind you a little of your life. so I see.... that's quite interesting point of view. :hmm:
 
I can understand you like history, even Ann Franks. But I don't think it extacly the same situations you think you have with Ann Franks. Ann Franks life was very different from your time. Because her time was much worse then the world we lived in today. The Diary of Anne Frank is the story of a 13-year-old Jewish girl and her family who are forced into hiding by the Nazis during World War II. So WW II was a very bad time because Hilter almsot took over the world. Not only Hilter hate the jews. He hate any races. But the point in Ann Franks story she had hides just to stay alive. She and her family have to live in fear everday hoping the germans don't find them but they were betray and sent to prison camp and silpt the family apart. Ann Franks died in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp and after the liberation of all concentration camps. So where thousands of people are dying of hunger and sickness everyday. Margot and Anne both contract typhus and die within a short time of each other in March 1945, only a few weeks before the liberation. So Ann's life was taken away so young. So how her life story be same as yours? care to explain why you think that?
 
I know. Little of bits of Anne's life fits my life. It is hard to explain. At least, I am not dead. But I understand what her life meant in mine.
 
GTM - you're talking on larger scale of the side. Meggie is just referring to micro-thing of Anne Frank's life that is almost similar.

1. Deaf people and Jewish people are faced with stigma and racist hatred from people.
2. Both are treated like second-class citizens
3. ummm..... I can't think of any more...

The best literature allows people to relate it to their own lives in a personal way. The Diary of Anne Frank is a classic for this very reason -- not only because of her life story and her outlook, but because it touches people on a personal level. You do not have to experience exactly the same life as someone for their life to touch you and make you think about your own.

Also, if you think Frank's life was so different from our time, I invite you to think about the atrocities and genocides taking place all over the world right now. Darfur, Afghanistan, Tibet...things have not changed as much as you would like to think. Anne Frank's story is extremely relevant to our time.

Okay, thank you all for the clearer picture on Ann Franks life and I get a better understanding why she says she can relate to Ann Frank's life. Thanks.
