Letter to Anne Frank

Dear Anne Frank,
Your life during the war must have been very sad, with every day not knowing whether u would live to see tomorrow at all. The Jews living at that time went through so much suffering just like you and your family when you guys were in hiding. It must have been very difficult to have to live together with another family .I feel that living with a family you don’t know would cause the two families not to agree on ever thing all the time.
The Van Daans have been very greedy but they must have under a lot of pressure during the war not knowing whether u would live to see tomorrow at all. You must have been very brave when you said that you didn’t care about the war or dying. You should try and continue to live on for your family. You should also try and face the war for your family…..

Yours sincerely,
Keith.

Hello Anne Frank!Youre so pretty!

Dear Anne Frank,
I have learnt a lot about you and your life. I am very fortunate to have
studied about your life during the war. Learning about you and your family hiding in the Secret Annexe was unimaginable. If I were you, I wouldn’t have survived hiding in there
for that long period of time. Hiding in there for a few years must be hard, this has made me think about how brave you were in those few years.My thought about having other people living in the same hideout must be a little awkward. I feel that you are the most courageous female I have ever known in my whole life.I don’t think you should say that you no longer care whether you should live on or die.A life is supposed to be cherished. No matter how difficult life was,you still have to carry on as life is the precious thing we have.

Love,
HARIS

Dear Anne Frank
I’m sorry that your life during the war was very sad and cruel. Every day was like a large gamble. Live or die. Your whole family was in hiding, along with another family. It must very hard to live in the Secret Annexe.
Try to excuse the Vaan Daan’s greedy behavior. Most people cannot operate at a normal rate under heavy pressure like a war where your life hangs in the balance. Don’t worry about Dussel. Pretend that he has a serious case of diarrhea and needs to sit on the toilet for a very long time.
Anne, you must be a brave girl to face all this madness. You could also face the war without any fear of death.
You must be very brave you said that you didn’t care about the war or dying. Still very youthful and you can accept death? I would still think of living somehow. As long as there is a tomorrow, you should not give up. You should have stayed alive and live to tell your tale….

Yours sincerely

Letter to Anne Frank

Dear Anne,
After I reading your diary ,I was very amazed. I thought I was lucky than you. I am not alone. I think if I do not have friends, I will be sad .You are very brave. You can live in that conditions and you are not be sad. You live in the secret Annexe must be boring. I want to be brave like you.
Are you alive very hard? In the Annexe there have some strange men such as Mr Van Daan ,he always likes to argue if you disagree with him. You are a intelligent girl.
I wish you all the best.

Love Siqi

Dear Anne

I was sorry that your life was difficult during the war . As for us, children at your age should go to school and study or play with friends but you could not do the same things like us and you even have to hide in the Annexe with other people that you not familiar with. I was sad that you have to do that as if I was you, I would have gone mad. But you was also lucky as you could still with your family not like others.

I felt that the other family you staying with was very selfish and they only think about themselves. But I still think that it was still better to have more people staying together as when you was board , you still could talk with them and not alone. I felt that you was very brave and you could still joke with other when you was hiding from the army. You was also very good in writing even though you have not been studying for two years. I felt that you was very brave about what you say in the end. But I still felt that you should not gave up so easily as one day, you maybe may get your freedom again.

Yours Sincerely

Hi Anne Frank. You so prettyyy :D

Dear Anne Frank
I’ve learnt so many things about you and your life. It has been an interesting yet ended with unfortunate ending.Your whole family going into hiding in the Secret Annexe was like unimaginable to me. If it was me, I would have been already been unable to stay there for long. I’m interested in how you dealt with boredness inside there. What’s worse was that you and your family had to put up with another family of unknown strangers. It must be super weird for you to undergo such hardship at such a young age. Different people in the Annexe had different lifestyle habits, and I feel that this will for sure lead to uncalled – for problems cropping up in the Secret Annexe. You maybe just any normal teenager found on the street but you seemed to be the most matured one. Maybe this is due to your hardships in life you had to go through, but still you handled stuffs in a much matured way to me. You are a very unbelievable girl to me. You are so brave, really very. I felt how brave you were, and you’ve came to a point of time in life where living or dying did not make a difference to you anymore. For this, I salute to you with deep sincerity. It was so noble of you to have that kind of thinking, I guess people like you can only be found in one in a million.

With Loves,
Eugene Lee
