Does this sound like a good intro paragraph for a compare and contrast essay? Please be honest and if it doesn't then pls tell me how to improve.
The characters I chose in Anne Frank: Diary of a young girl, are Anne and Mrs. Van Daan. I chose these characters because I thought it was very interesting how differently the two reacted to being stuck in hiding from the Germans. Mrs. Van Daan, who always criticized poor Anne and Anne, who was terrified at certain points, but tried to make the best of it. Nature helped Anne in a way, so she would use nature motifs in her diary to express what she was feeling in the most detailed way possible. It was almost like she was describing it that way so her future “readers” would be able to understand her clearly. Although, there is no way she could have known that her diary would be later published. So, I feel comparing and contrasting the feelings and reactions of Anne and Mrs. Van Daan to hiding away from the Nazis and trying very hard to live in secret, was the best way for me to go.
