Anne Frank Feedback

In her diary Anne opined: “…if you’re wondering if it’s harder for the adults here than for the children, the answer is no…Older people have an opinion about everything and are sure of themselves and their actions. It’s twice as hard for us young people to hold on to our opinions at a time when ideals are being shattered…” (July 15, 1944.) Do you agree or disagree with this quote? When was the last time that you experienced the “shattering” of an ideal?

As weird as it seems, I have to agree with Anne, many young children are less experienced in life, and hence are much more gullible, they usually just go with the flow, and believe what anybody and everybody tells them to believe. One way, However, that children tend to stick to their opinions is by stubbornness. Nowadays, a large percentage of children have grown to be quite stubborn, no matter what the situation may be, many stubborn people just cannot see the other side. That was the children, now, let's move onto the adults or grown ups. Almost every adult has faced a lot of the situations in daily life. This enables them to be much more experienced, and able to bend their decisions according to the conditions. To Conclude, I completey agree with Anne, it is much harder for children to stick with their opinions than for adults. Children are more gullible, and much easier to explain. While adults are more experianced and are more flexible to the ideas around them.
