Diary Of Anne Frank

So far in my book about Anne Frank, Anne just started writing in her diary so not much has been going on. To start though, her dad is ill. It is a struggle because he is the man of the house and they cannot call a doctor. Another interesting section I read was how the Germans are starting to go house to house checking if any Jews are living in the houses. If they are, they are all forced to leave and go with them. Other than that, the book really has not been AS interesting as it will be later on.

After studying about this topic before reading the book and reading a few pages in the book I can easily tell this book is non-fiction. One way it is easy to tell is how Anne Frank is mentioned and writing in a everyday diary. She is writing events that really happened during that time while hiding. Another way I can tell this genre is nonfiction is how it explains everything I learned about before. It explains how Anne Frank was hiding and up in an attic, how the Germans were on a hunt for them and how Nazi's were pretty much ruling the world with Hitler. I like reading nonfiction because it is based on true facts and actions and most of the time those actions or facts can be interesting.

Holocaust Post

I believe the people sat and watched the Holocaust happened because they were just scared and confused about what was going on and how to find a solution. I would be scared to stand up for everyone and to go against basically the strongest man in the world. The people who stood up against the Holocaust basically did it because they wanted change in their lives and were tired of seeing people struggle the way they were. If I had to make a decision of being a bystander or an up stander I would choose to be a bystander. One reason is because if they found out I was fighting against them they would have killed me instantly. Another reason is because I would not even know if it would be worth it. An example would be if the plan does not work. If the plan does not work, did I just work hard to try to make a change for nothing? Those are the two main reasons why I would be a bystander.
