My friend Jennifer sent me this wonderful book report to share.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank is one of the most compelling accounts of the Holocaust of World War II. In this diary, Anne Frank shows that although living in a confined space for four years she kept her spirit, faith, and individuality. Through this diary, Anne tells the story that has captivated many people over the years.
One of the main reasons I love this book is how as you read, you see how Anne changes. Her carefree personality shines through in the beginning; and even though this changes over the years, she stays true to who she is. In this diary, Anne allows you to see and feel what she felt during that horrible time. Her frustrations, hopes, and dreams all seem to come alive as you read this breath taking account of Anne’s years in hiding.
In her diary, Anne shows you what life was like in World War II. While set about 62 years ago, Anne makes you feel as if you were there hiding with her. With her you meet the others that will be hiding with her: the Van Daan, also known as the Van Pels, family: Peter, Hermann, and Auguste; and Albert Dussell, also known as Fritz Pfeffer; as well as her family: her elder sister, Margot and her parents, Otto and Edith.
Anne’s tendency to be head-strong causes her to argue with some that are hiding with her, especially Albert Dussel and Mr. Van Daan. Mr. Dussel and Mr. Van Daan both believe their way is right, as does Anne. Through out the book, the three continue to clash, and these often humorous encouters are one of the reasons why you want to keep reading The Diary of a Young Girl.
Anne and the other women in the house don’t get along in the beginning of her diary. As you read the book, however, you see how Anne’s relationship with her sister grows, along with the relationship with her mother. Half way through the book, Anne’s relationship with her mother crumbles, and she leans more towards Mrs. Van Daan. Throughout this diary you see how she changes her opinion on most people in the ‘secret annex’ as Anne calls their hiding place.
Anne’s relationship with her father and Peter are very different from her other relationships. Her relationship with her father is very close. Anne’s nickname for him is Pim, and she looks to him for guidance during the years in hiding. Anne’s relationship with Peter is also unique; in the beginning, she despises him, but throughout the diary this changes, until a very shocking event.
In her diary, also known as ‘Kitty’, you will see the true horrors of World War II, and how Anne wasn’t that different from girls today. Although the diary is very detailed, this is one of the best books I’ve read about World War II.
All throughout her diary, Anne keeps you in suspense for the next funny moment, or the next horrible fright. At the end of her diary you will learn what really happened to Anne Frank at the end of the war, and why this story will never be forgotten. To find out what happened to Anne you’ll have to read The Diary of a Young Girl.
