  1. Her personality is that she is a nice girl but it always looks like she bugs Peter and she wants to dance but Peter says that he's feeding his cat and doesn't want to dance so she bugs him. Her interests are that she is very good in writing stories and that she is very good in dancing, other things i recognized were that she likes to learn and is very smart.

  2. After reading the first few scenes of Anne Frank I noticed that she is very active and cannot sit still which is pretty hard for her because she has to do it hours a day. She is also very curious and rambunctious. She always wants to know more and examine her environment. She is also very reckless. she doesn't want to think of her actions before she has done them. For example, when she got her new diary she tried to find a pencil and she almost went out into the office and almost exposing her entire family's and the Van Daans' secret hiding place.

  3. After reading a couple of scenes from "The Diary of Anne Frank, I got to know alot the character of Anne. She is a very joyous girl who likes to have fun and enjoy herself. She akso likes cats and likes to dance the waltz. It is very clear that she likes to join large crowds and groups, which means she likes to get attention. One other example is when Anne wants to dance with Peter Van Daan, but it is hard to him since he is not used to being around girls.

  5. After reading a few scenes i saw that Anne was acting like someone who's annoying and always wants to play games and can't focus on the main problem because all she wants to do is to have fun, what i mean is that she does not yet understand she is at the brink of a war to be started and is just skipping around acting happy when they're all about to die because of all the Nazis

  6. In the few scenes that we have read from "The Diary of Anne Frank", I can tell that Anne is vivacious and very active. She always keeps herself busy. I also notice that she loves dancing, and she is very alert. So far, in this play, the Franks and the Van Daan's are in hiding. Peter, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Van Daan, is somewhat the opposite of Anne. He is motionless and is very shy and reserved. On the other hand, Anne is curious and confident.

  8. After reading the first few scenes of Diary of Anne Frank you can tell a lot about Anne. Anne is a very happy girl and likes to have fun. She moves around a lot, and almost went downstairs to get a pencil exposing their hiding spot. Anne enjoys writing in her diary everyday because that is what she can do during the days. I recognized that Anne wants have fun with Peter because their is no one else her age. She is also sad because of what her family is going through.

  13. i think that Anne is a very energetic and crazy girl. She isn't as mature as Margot but wishes to be treated like an adult. She acts very childish and at some moments she is mature. Overall she is a very crazy young girl.

  14. So far, what we can see in Anne's character is her energy and spirit that she has, longing for attention and daring to be different...Her constant "annoying" actions towards Peter don't always mean that she likes him, but maybe that she just needs a friend, or someone to talk to when she is in fear. Though I think her personality is easy to put in to words, where she would have ended up in life without that diary would only have been but an anonymous answer to us. We woudln't have even known her name...

  16. Anne Frank is a young girl who has all her emotions running around inside of her. She is Jewish, enjoys school, likes being with her friends, she wants attention, and is very different. Anne's personality is very spontaneous! she enjoys books and enjoys being herself. i think Anne is a very energetic and kind-hearted girl deep down inside. Also, she loves cats and strives for undivided attention.
