Diary Of Anne frank Summary! xD 4th post for term 3

1942 summary.
Anne frank received her diary as her birthday present and she thinks that the present is the nicest of all the presents she received. Although she felt that writing a diary is quite unusual or boring as no one at her age is writing one, she wrote it anyway as she felt the diary is one of her best friend who could listen to her.

She gives a brief story of her life. Her father married her mother when he was thirty-six and her mother twenty-five. Her sister Margot was born in 1926 in Germany, and Anne in 1929, also in Germany. They emigrated to Holland in 1933, and her father manages a company there. In 1938, after the pogroms, or destructive anti-Jewish raids, some of her family escaped to the US, and her grandmother came to stay with the family in Holland. After May 1940, Hitler's anti-Jewish laws became more strict. Jews were made to wear a yellow six-pointed star, forbidden to ride bicycles, trains, and cars, given limited shopping hours and a curfew, forbidden to enter places of entertainment, forbidden to play sports, forbidden to visit Christians, and other restrictions.

Sunday, the S.S., Nazi police, sent a call-up notice for her father and for Margot for their deportation to a concentration camp. Thus the family escaped to the Secret Annex and they clean the place for a few days. They are very scared that the neighbours will spot them thus, they tried to not make much noise. Another family, the van Daans. The Mr and Mrs Van Daan always pick on Anne at how she eats and how she behaves, scolding her as a spoilt child. Anne don’t like them and also don’t like her mother as she felt that her mother is very bias against her. She always is on Margots side and Anne is frustrated about her mother but is helpless thus a few diaries are about her upset and frustration at her mother. She write down bad things about her mother . She also mentioned that she love her father more as he understands her.

In actual history, in 1942, there was the mass killing of Jews . French, Holland, Belgium, Croatia, Slovakia, Romania jews were all slaughtered. SS begins cashing in possessions and valuables of Jews from Auschwitz and Majdanek. German banknotes are sent to the Reichs Bank. Foreign currency, gold, jewels and other valuables are sent to SS Headquarters of the Economic Administration. Watches, clocks and pens are distributed to troops at the front. Clothing is distributed to German families. By February 1943, over 800 boxcars of confiscated goods will have left Auschwitz. Germany also deducted the foot ration for the Jews. The jews are also banned to use public transportations and must wear yellow star which is for the segregation between jews and other people. More than 500,000 jews were killed in 1942.


1943 summary

In 1943, Anne turned 14 and received a lot of birthday presents like book on Greek mythology . one of her favorite gift is the poem her father wrote for her which is very sweet. Besides that, there is a lot of air raids, sometimes even twice a day. All of them are very scared and could not even sleep peacefully at night. Anne often woke up in cold sweat as she is very scared of the sound of bombs and guns.Food are running out in the secret annexe.

More Jews are getting dragged into concentration camps to be slaughtered. Anne feels that she is lucky compared to jews with no hiding place to go and get caught by the germans and forced to work or get killed. She also desperately hopes that no one discover secret annex and catch them. She pity those Jews outside and often wished to herself that war should be over as soon as possible.

Anne find Mr and Mrs van daan more and more irritating as they scolded her continuously. She had a couple of arguments with Mr. Dussel and one of them is them fighting over a table in their room but father stood on her side so after a few rounds of quarrel, she could use the table but that’s beside the point. Her relationship with mother is getting worse every day. Once she refuses to say her prayers with Mummy, upsetting her greatly. Anne feels sorry for her, but she did not know that Mummy would be upset by the coldness with which she herself treats Anne. Anne is indifferent, and remains aloof because it is her true feelings.

Food in Secret annex is running out. Everyone is angry. Anne cannot sleep because of air raids, and they are eating terribly-dry bread and ersatz coffee for breakfast, and spinach and rotten potatoes for dinner. Burglars steal money, sugar coupons, and check books from the offices downstairs. Luckily, nothing is taken from the Secret Annexe.

In real history, the year 1943 is the year of the first bombing raid by Americans on Germany (at Wilhelmshaven). Later in the year, Mussolini was arrested but rescued by Germany. He quickly re-establishes a Fascist government. Italy declares war on Germany and on the same day, there was the Second American air raid on Schweinfurt. Thus from real history, we could see that in the year of 1943, there is a lot of air raids just like what anne frank frustratingly talked about in a few diaries.


1944 summary

In 1944, Anne frank is experiencing puberty. She has a crush on Peter and always has a dream about his cheek near hers. She is also curious about sexual topics which are also a sign of her puberty. She kept going upstairs to see Peter and chat with peter which was suspected by father who thought that their friendship might turn to love but Anne felt that everything is under control and when father continued to force her, she wrote him a letter which is very hurtful and caused father to dislike her and turned cold to her but this did not stop her from getting closer to Peter. Anne’s mother felt that she is disturbing Peter but Peter did not feel so as she and him have something in common which is the dislike over their parents. Peter did not like his parents and Anne did not too thus both of them always chat about this topic. Later on, she found Peter weak as he kept on finding the easier way out. She wanted peter to depend on her but Peter is depending too much on her and she is like “ what is his problem?”

There is also D-Day which signals that the invasion has begun. The British are invading France.
Anne is so excited and wonders if 1944 will bring an end to the war. The invasion seems to be going well, and Anne gives some interesting details about the number of planes in use and how many tons of bombs are being dropped. The invasion is going well, with the Allied forces having captured many French towns and also recaptured and liberated a lot of land. Everyone is just waiting for them to reach Holland. Anne again points out how foolish the Dutch people are for thinking the English are lazy because they have not yet liberated Holland.
Anne’s diary ended abruptly on her last entry where she reflects on the fact that her personality is a "bundle of contradictions." She is a dual personality but she never shows the nicer, softer, and gentler inside Anne to people – they only see the frolicsome, flirty, easy-going outside Anne.

Arr...Human Are The Most Cruel Animal!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sianzz..my maid emo-ing again. Its not my fault. I like to drink green-bean ice at night cause its very very healthy! XD however, i like those kind which needs to be boiled for 1 hour plus and the seed of the green bean will kind of burst and the "flesh" of the green bean would be in the green bean water. All "flesh" together would be like a mash greenbeans which is very nice xD. By crushing mixing it with tiny pieces of ice to make it ice-blended , it is very delicious after whipped-cream is poured on top. The feeling is like- wonderful! I told my maid to make me one after dinner i told her which kind i wanted and she agreed, After around one hour, she gave me the green-bring ice but then she cooked the kind which the seed is only boiled for 10 minutes and not ripe, the ice is not green-bean flavour and she putted sugar instead of whip cream!!! Ar! I did not like it so i drank all could, leaving half a bowl there then she starts to emo, saying what i cook so long you dont eat but I CANT! I told her she did not cook the type i wanted which made the matter worse, she completely give me this sian face then lock her self up in her room AR!!!!! 3 rd time this week. Angr man. btw, this is my third post for term 3
But thats beside the point. Today my excellent topic is about the most cruel animal on earth award! The award goes to human HOORAY!Unlike my previous post, later on there would be no explaination on why i cheered as my cheering should act as a sacarsm! You all want to know why human is the most Cruel Animal? ( rhetorical question)Yes?I will explain. No? i will still explain XD( never explain where got ace ? joking =])ok, this thought shot into my mind at the speed of joshua hia sprinting. I saw my neighbour trying to train their dog. They tried to walk the dog beside them but the dog too energetic, always try to dash to the front. They are holding a special kind of leash for the dog, once they pull, the dog would feel pain and reel back. the dog keep running infront and getting it self choked. It will roll on the floor coughing in pain everytime it choke. after about one hour and i finish jogging, i saw my neighbour happily walking their dog, which sometimes is still disobedient but mostly got it that it is suppose to walk beside its masters. After that, i reflected on this incident and recalled that in china, i watched a tiger and lion performance. The tiger and lion were trained to jump into fire rings, roll on their back and stand on hind legs to wave at audience blahblah. At first i enjoyed it but i realised how cruel it is of human to train the tigers and lions to be domestic animals. When they performed wrongly, they were even hit by canes. Furthermore, they lost all their ferociousness and is more like a dog then the kind of the animals. Human training animals to be under their control is so cruel, especially when they bait the animals. Animals are not as intelligent as humans and did not know that human are ruling over them but simply know that if it is obedient, it get a treat. Sigh, using this weak point of animals just to dominate them, IT IS SO CRUEL. For your information, the number of human killed by tiger is highest aroun 24 a year but tigers killed by humans around 2 million per year. THAT is the difference and another explaination why human is the cruelest animal and not the tiger

HollyWoOd stars time in JAIL!!!

Yo! Everyone! Are you surprised to see me post again xD haha. the past couple of days are so boring and nothing interesting to share to you guys but now..i have an interesting story to share!btw this is my sec 2 term3 post 2!!!! Btw.. the yangwz incident y no one comment.. u guys try to continue the story leh xD

Erm..today's interesting topic would be hollywood stars time in jail xD hooray! you might be wondering am i a "guai lan kia" , people go jail already i still cheer. i will explain why i cheered later in my post.Firstly, the background information. THe couple of days, ALOT of hollywood starts went to jail!
1Robert John Downey Jr ;Jail time: about one and a half years ;Reason: drug abuse
2Paris Hilton ;Jail time: 23 days ;Reason: driving on a suspended license
3Sean Penn ;Jail time: 33 days;Reason: assaulting a photographer
4Nicole Richie Jail time: 82 minutes Reason: driving under the influence of drugs
5indsay Lohan ;Prison term: 90 days ;Reason: violating the terms of her probation in a drunk driving case

in a few days time, 5 hollywood stars spend an amount of time in jail!While, after i read the article, i analysed it this are my following views:
1) the hollywood stars are stressed . Some because of their reputation and others because of their movies. Sean Penn is stressed about his reputation and thus assaulted the photographer as he might captured something bad of him. Robert John Downey Jr could have been stressed out and could not seperate life in movie and life in reality which alot of actors suffer some get depression adn others takes drugs.
2) The hollywood stars might have thought that their position is higher than others and thus drive without license, violating terms of probation in a drunk driving case. This things could have happen because the actors think that they being famous could be treated better than others and thus doing things that are illegal for others might be okay for themselves.

Now i will explain why i cheered in my introduction. I felt glad that the police and the society and the law dows not judge someone by their cover. Whether they are rich or poor, famous or not famous, good looking or not good looking, contributed to the society or not.By sending this hollywood stars who commit illegal things to jail is actually proving that law is fair and would not let go of someone doing an illegal thing just because he/she is a hollywood star xD i bet you all would be cheering right now xD not because the hollywood stars went to jail but because of the fairness of modern society xP!!!!!!
