Both Anne Frank and Valli exhibit remarkable optimism and self-assurance despite their challenging circumstances. Anne, during her time in hiding, maintains hope for a better future, finding solace in writing and her inner strength. Valli, on the other hand, is a young girl with a fierce determination to experience life independently. In "Madam Rides the Bus," she shows courage by embarking on a journey alone, defying societal expectations. Both characters, through their optimism and resilience, empower themselves to navigate and rise above the obstacles in their lives. Their journeys remind us of the strength of the human spirit, especially in the face of adversity.
