Anne Frank in this part of the book is just trying to get through all of this dullness in her life At first she tells us about the table.That Mr.Van Dann gets served first and he gives his opinion and that no one dares to argue with him if he does not like something than people don't eat it.Also that no one talks ever because it usually comes out in an argument.Anne is thinking about how she is so fortunate because she right now is not getting tortured by the Germans in those camps they have going .She is thinking about these things mostly because of Lies,who is her friend who came many times in Anne's dreams and she looked miserable from torture and starvation.She is thinking a lot about the changes in her body and the erg's that she had felt before.One of the major things she talked about was her fountain pen that she got when she was about nine years old.She said that she had used the pen for everything mostly except in the sixth form when her teacher only let her use school pens and pencils.She said that a few days before she was writing on her desk and that her father and sister had to work there so she went and swept up the dirt and went and burned the stuff in the fire afterwards she could not find her pen and her family was looking for it and her sister,Margot,told Anne that she probably burned it the fire.Anne could not believe tat until there was proof so they put out the fire and looked for remains and they found the handle so now she believed.At the end she becomes great friends with peter and they spend much time together.

The Diary Of a Young Girl- Ryan Perez

A young girl named Anne Frank was so excited to open her presents for her 13 year old birthday. Anne got a puzzle, a party game, sweets, books, and a diary. Anne started to write in her "diary". She talked about her friends Lies Goosen, Sanne Houtman, and Jopie de Waal (a girl from the Jewish Secondary School). Anne Frank enjoyed having her diary because it was her only friend she could talk to about personal things.

The Diary of a Young Girl By: Ryann Linthicum

Anne Frank The Diary of a Young Girl
By: Ryann Linthicum

How do you think it would feel being a thirteen year old girl in the middle of the huge World War Two? This is what a young girl has to go through during this time and takes the time to write down her experiences with it. The book begins where there is a war between the Germans and the Jews where a bad man is the ruler and takes all of the Jews away to camps and jails to kill them. Also each Jew has to wear a bright yellow Jewish star that differs them from all of the other people. The book is about a thirteen year old girl living with her mother, father, and sister. Her name is Anne Frank and she she gets a diary from her mother and she writes in it about her feelings and what is going on during the war.

In the beginning of the book the war between the Germans and the Jews has not gotten so bad. Anne goes to school and everything seems fine. But is it really? Meanwhile more and more people start to become taken away and they are making stricter rules on the Jews such as curfew. This scares Anne's family so they decide that they should leave their home and go into hiding before they get discovered. So, they go away to this place for hiding, where their 5 people family, the Van Daans, and then later on a man named Albert Dussel comes to live with them. This is a big change for all of them, they must stay quiet and unseen until the war dies down. This could take weeks, months, or even years in hiding.

Anne lives here and mostly goes deranged all day between staying quiet and unseen. She also has to deal with the Van Daans, who just bug her all day and really get on her nerves. She then comes to her diary and lets out all of her emotions and feelings in her diary, that she calls Kitty. She loves to read and works very hard on all of her studies. She is a very polite, well-mannered girl that has to survive in the middle of this war. But can her family do it without getting caught or seen?

At the hiding place Anne feels trapped between the Van Daans and now Albert with their rules and their different opinions of manners. Anne feels that he is getting in the way of everything and everyone and she feels as though she does not fit in. She wants just to be like all of them and to help. Now that Anne has become near-sited she has to stop doing her studies because she cannot get glasses that means that now she has even more time on her hands. The war is now getting worse and all Anne wants to do is to go back to school again. She is sad and wantes friends to play with, she will just have to wait until the war is over. But will she be able to?
