The Diary of Anne Frank
The Diary of Anne Frank
This journey that Anne Frank encounters was although a short journey had a big affect on her life. A few steps down the road from where she lived had changed her life forever, more than she could’ve imagined. Anne Frank was forced to leave her life behind, in a time of WW2.

She writes to her diary as though it were a person, giving it a name, “Kitty” telling it how she’s become stronger and more independent. Tells “Kitty” when looking back on the “old Anne”, she realises how much she’s grown, talking about herself in the third person. “This Anne has grown so much, is much less dependent on others, so much different from the old Anne.” Anne felt like no one understood her, and no one listened to her, which played a part on how strong and independent she had become. Because it is a diary Anne writes in context, using dates at the beginning of her entries, this creates the feeling of how much timed has passed to the reader. She lives in the hiding place for about two years, has her 14th birthday there. This is also an
