Jessica's Connection

mirrors Ali's observation... (several hours apart.)

Anne Frank is suprisingly similar to the generic picture of a teen girl. Like the typical teenager, she struggles with her family and her emotions. Young Anne feels a seperation from her mother and writes that she does not love her. Many modern day movies portray teen girls having conflicts and bad feelings towards their parents, which is similar how Anne feels towards her mother and, to a lesser extent, to her older sister Margot. Anne views her older sister with some jealosy, which is not uncommon among the majority of siblings. She recieves average grades in school and keeps a diary, similar to girls of our time. Anne also has relations with boys (such as with Hello in the earlier entries of her diary) like most girls do.When you look at the whole picture, Anne Frank, a girl that lived decades before our time, is really not much different than the teenage girls today.

  1. This is a perfect connection showing that she is simply a single person just like the people we are today. Im sure if I was in her position... I would probably keep my secrets to myself and not use a diary, but live a similar way t \o the way she survived as long as she did.
