Weekly Write In - Creating Happiness

I think most of us were surprised at Ms. Madeline's tale of how even though most of the world was at war, Hollywood endured and pushed out movies just as soon as they could! Movies were still a young art form compared to how they were today, and as we see in her diary, Anne is not immune to the power of the celebrities in cinema. We see her posting pictures in her Annex room and longing to be glamorous as a way to escape the harsh reality around her. Think about a time when you experienced hardship, a sad or frightening moment. How did you create your own happiness? Write a paragraph explaining your story and what made you happy. If you cannot think of a time, then imagine you are in Anne's position of living with that constant anxiety. What would you do to create your own happiness?
