What Does In Spite Of Everything I Still Believe People Really Good At Heart

In the last line of the play The Diary of Anne Frank, Anne Frank makes the statement, "In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart." During the Holocaust, Anne Frank had such a positive outlook on the situation she was in, despite all the hardships the Franks and Van Daans encountered during their time in hiding. How could a young lady of fourteen years think of such an empowering statement? In fact, what was Anne feeling during this time of great terror and tragedy? Only Anne knows the answer to this question, yet people still try to guess her feeling towards the Holocaust. Did the Holocaust change Anne Frank's entire outlook on life and the world? Through all of this, Anne Frank still forgave all of the trouble

In my opinion, Anne Frank was probably scared when she wrote down the statement, "In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart."

I still do not understand how Anne Frank wrote down such a loving statement after what the Nazis put her through.

The Van Daan family almost got kicked out because in one part of the play, Mr. Van Daan was caught stealing food from the family, and Mrs. Frank was so outraged that she wanted the Van Daan family to leave. In this situation, Anne thought differently and was able to change her mother's mind. The Holocaust did not just change Anne's outlook on life, it changed the whole world's outlook on life. Even though Anne and her family were scared and felt troubled during their times in hiding, Anne still had strength to be brave and move on with her life like the war was never happening. She was still writing in her diary and practicing a language just like she did in school. It is because of Anne's diary that we know the history and many details of what it was like the Frank family to go into hiding and hide from the Nazi's during the
