I. Introduction
Opener
- Hook: Even while hiding in a cramped annex under threat of discovery, Anne Frank wrote about dancing, birthdays, and the future—small signs of hope in a terrifying situation.
- Context sentence: For two years the Frank family lived in hiding with friends and helpers, cut off from the outside world by Nazi persecution.
Thesis
- Thesis statement: The experiences of Anne Frank and her family show the power of hope because they preserved daily routines and future plans, drew strength from personal relationships and helpers, and used imagination and writing to keep faith in a better tomorrow.
II. Body
Paragraph 1
Supporting Point
- The family’s effort to maintain routines, celebrations, and plans kept their spirits oriented toward life rather than despair.
Evidence
- Anne’s diary entries about birthdays, schoolwork she continued in hiding, and the family’s effort to keep the Annex orderly.
- Specific example: they celebrated birthdays and holidays in the Annex; Anne continued studying and preparing for a future.
Reasoning
- Routines and celebrations create normalcy and remind people of continuity; by planning and marking time, the Franks sustained hope for life after hiding.
Paragraph 2
Supporting Point
- Emotional support from family members and the help of non-Jewish friends sustained morale and reinforced belief that survival was possible.
Evidence
- The close, if sometimes tense, bonds among Anne, her parents, and Margot; Anne’s growing friendship with Peter.
- The crucial role of helpers like Miep Gies and Mr. Kraler, who brought food, news, and risked their safety to assist the occupants.
Reasoning
- Relationships provide practical help and emotional reassurance; the presence of allies and mutual care made hope tangible and gave the Franks reasons to endure.
Paragraph 3
Supporting Point
- Anne’s imagination, optimism, and writing were deliberate acts of hope—she envisioned a future and gave it form.
Evidence
- Anne’s stated ambitions to become a writer or journalist and frequent diary passages imagining postwar life.
- Famous lines from her diary, e.g., “I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart,” and “Where there’s hope, there’s life…”
Reasoning
- By articulating hopes and recording them, Anne transformed fear into purpose; creative expression helped her (and readers) imagine survival and meaning beyond present suffering.
(If adding a paragraph 4)
Paragraph 4 (optional)
Supporting Point
- Small pleasures and humor as coping strategies that reinforced hope.
Evidence
- Anne’s playful moments, jokes, and descriptions of games or music in the Annex.
Reasoning
- Finding joy in small things prevents hopelessness; these moments showed that the Franks still valued life.
III. Conclusion
Concluding Summary
- Restate thesis and main points: Despite constant danger, the Franks’ routines and future plans, their supportive relationships and helpers, and Anne’s hopeful imagination show how hope sustained them.
Impact Message
- Larger significance: The Franks’ story shows that hope can preserve dignity and resilience under extreme oppression; remembering their courage encourages us to value human compassion and the power of hope in difficult times.
