Question

Write a character sketch of Anne Frank in 300 words.

Answer 1

Anne was born on June 12, 1929 in Frankfurt, Germany. She was four years old when her father moved to Holland to find a better place for the family to live. She was very intelligent and perceptive, and wanted to become a writer. She loved Peter and had strong feelings for him. She even had to face opposition from her parents in this regard but she kept on meeting him. Anne was a good reader. Though she was in hiding, she kept on reading something or the other everyday to continue to enrich her knowledge and to continue her studies. She translated chapters, wrote down the vocabulary words and used to work hard on Maths problems even though she didn't like Maths. She enjoyed shorthand but later left it as her eyesight grew weak and she could not visit an ophthalmologist as long as she was in hiding in the secret annexe. She read the biographies of Galileo, Galili and Franz Liszt. She was interested in reading the Bible and Greek and Roman Mythology. She also wanted to become a journalist.
Like any other child, she loved her parents but later developed a dislike for her mother as she used to compare her to Margot, her elder sister whom she felt jealous of. She always had a feeling that her father loved her more than her mother. Anne was an optimistic girl who learned a lot from her sufferings. She always believed that a time would come when all their problems would be over and they would lead a happy, tension-free life after the war had ended which never became true. This shows and proves her content nature. Though life was hard at the secret annexe she was still content and still had some hopes in her life. Anne had many friends but not a single true best friend in whom she could confide everything. Thus, she made Kitty, her red checkered diary, her friend and gave way to all her feelings in it. Anne died of typhus in the concentration camp at Bergen-Belsen in late February or early March of 1945 due to the unhygienic conditions in the camp. Yet, her life is truly inspiring. Little did Anne know that her diary would become one of the most read books in non-fiction.
