Response to the Diary of Anne Frank(1 and 2)

We’ve just started to read “The Diary of Anne Frank” in English. I’d already read the easier, 3rd grade version of it before when I was in Elementary school so I had a basic idea of what it’d be like. This version was set out like a play so it was easier to visualize some of the scenes though.

What are your initial impressions of Anne?

My first impression of Anne is of a bright and energetic girl who loves talking and getting attention. In the book she seems like the type of person who can never sit still. She’s also very bright and positive. Her house was taken away from her, she wouldn’t be able to meet her friends and they would be staying in the hiding place for an uknown length of time, and she still manages to keep a bright attitude! Although to the adults she seems just to be a loud, annoying, maybe even bratty typical teenager, I think she’s very important to the house since she’s able to keep it from getting gloomy. She’s actually able to find fun in the situation and make it sound kind of like an adventure. Even though she gets in trouble a lot from her parents and with adults, she’s an important character in the household to keep everyone together.
