Anne Frank Descusion Response

Question: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?

I agree strongly with Anne's thoughts and think that this is a very true point of view. I think that because many adults can easily make many decisions and stick to them without question because they are older and more mature. A kid may at times make up their mind but then go back upon that thought because of something that they saw or heard. I also believe that Anne was right because parents have the ability to make a decisions upon their strong beliefs that they have already made up in their minds. So overall i think Anne was very right and i strongly agree with her.
