Anne Frank was a young girl who lived in the city, Amsterdam when the Nazis took over. Her family was in danger because they were Jewish. They hide in the annex above a food factory. They are able to stay here for two years without being found. For a family that used to be able to have just as much freedom as everyone else, this is such a horrible experience. This young girl decides to start a diary about this time in her life.
This book is so good! It taught me not to really take everything for granted. She writes so well. As I was reading it I would be able to picture most of the book in my mind. It almost feels like you are a part of it.
“I don't think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains.”
“Although I'm only fourteen, I know quite well what I want, I know who is right and who is wrong. I have my opinions, my own ideas and principles, and although it may sound pretty mad from an adolescent, I feel more of a person than a child, I feel quite independent of anyone.”
In the book there is a little bit of offensive content. In this book the offensive context is the sexual parts.
It’s amazing to read the transformation of Anne from flippant school girl to a wise beyond her years young woman. Of course it was always in my mind the atrocities that put her in this situation and her unfortunate outcome. But there is solace in the fact that she achieved her dream of becoming famous and having an impact on the world!
What could be considered teenage ramblings are indeed mature thoughts and beautiful insight into life of a teenage girl in the midst of war. How would she have shaped into a woman, we will never know, but I can only imagine that had she made it through, she would have become an even greater symbol against oppression and achieved greater feats.
I enjoyed it! 3,75! Took me a while to read which is why my rating is lowish, it wasn’t captivating since it WAS a Diary. It was still amazing and heartbreaking and Anne did make me laugh at times! I didn’t know if I should review/rate this book because of its backstory, but this is just my overall opinion. Anne Frank is an amazing girl!
