Anne Frank

 Questions to answer when viewing/reading texts:

1. How does viewing this text through a child’s perspective change the way we experience it? Explain using an example from the text.

• They don’t have proper opinions yet so they don’t really understand, it makes you feel for Anne, the over world view is changed by small things that happen, children's minds are changed super easy compared to adults, expect from Anne’s she had many things to say and opinions, this comes back to being how she's brought up.

2. How would this text be different if it were told from the perspective of an adult? How would the audience’s experience be different?

• Adults have very strong opinions and have already a strong set of minds so they wouldn’t be so open-minded yet they are much more mature to understand but more stressed. 

They have more knowledge that is going on, we get to see more awareness on what’s going on and need for survival from them. 

From an adult's perspective might be more sorrowful, hopeless, so when we hear it from a hopeful perspective like a children's perspective it makes us want to keep going and we get hope from them.

3. Why did the filmmaker or author decide to tell this story from a child’s perspective?

• Since Anne wrote it from her point of view it is easier for the director to make it into a play, it makes the story more understanding to the viewers from a child's point of view, you get to see how children react to seeing the dark sides of the war.

• Children are open-minded and therefore can change the future for the better, so it makes the story more optimistic.

4. How are children represented in the text? How are adults represented in the text?

•  Children are curious, naive, gullible, and loud.

• Adults are somewhat educated, selfish, thieves, and more serious.

5. Does imagination help the young hero to cope? How so? Provide an example.

Yes it does, it helps with everything, Anne says she felt down she would imagine herself being with her friends and riding her bikes so it would put her in a good state of mind and make her feel better, in the diary, she writes to a fictional character to keep her mind off things.

Does this text connect in any other way to the other texts you have read/viewed Anne frank? How so? Provide evidence and explain.

• Yes because it is shown in a children's perspective and it contrasts because of the different perspectives, Navis vs Jews. It both demonstrates the character's naivety.

They both show the loss of innocence from war but started off innocence but creativity and naivety, the characteristics that both Jojo and Anne show.
