Anne Frank- Cause and Affect


Authors Note: 
I wrote this piece to show my understanding on how to talk about the cause and affects of the main conflict in a book or short story. 

Anne Frank was a young Jewish girl who lived and died during the Holocaust in the late 1900's. The Frank family hid from the Nazis for two long years in a Secret Annex at the back of a warehouse. During that time, Anne kept a diary in which she not only wrote about the horrors of war but the everyday problems of being a teenager.  In this book the main conflict is person vr. society. 

The main cause is that Anne Frank is a Jew and the Nazis wanted to eliminate all Jews from the world. With multiple other reasons one reason that the Nazis didn't like the jews is that with the start of World War two in September 1939 Hitler became obsessed with the idea that 'the Jews' had started the war. The affect of this happening is that a lot of the Jews were forced into hiding of fear that the Nazis would put them into a concentration camp to torture people till the death. Just imagine what if the story changes and the Nazis weren't against the Jew there might not have been the hundreds and hundreds of people that died as a result, may be World War two would have never happened. I think the Holocaust was a good way to open the eyes of people in the world because now a lot of people have a good idea of what can happen when two types of people turn against each other.
