Anne Frank was a happy and lively person who loved to express her opinion. The book is a wonderful read that describes the different aspects of life. The diary is written by Anne in the most horrifying period of world history. She received the diary as a birthday gift from her father on her 13th birthday and since then the diary became her best friend, she named it “Kitty”. It was a personal diary of Anne Frank where she wrote about her experiences while hiding in a secret annex for two years along with her family members and other people. They had too many restrictions during this period. They could not go out, they had to remain silent during the daytime hours since the secret annex was above the warehouse and they could not even use the flush. They had to eat whatever food was available and share amongst themselves.
The story has a very sad end but unfortunately true. It reminds us of millions of Jews who died in world war II. After reading the diary you feel, that if Anne had survived, she would have been a great writer. Her thoughts and style of writing are very articulate. The sad part is Anne died just a few weeks before the liberation of the concentration camp. She wanted to become a writer. One of her best quotes is “paper has more patience than people”. She expressed each and everything in her diary. Her happy and sad moments, her school memories, her rage, and her likes and dislikes.
As Anne Frank quoted, “I don’t want to have lived in vain like most people. I want to be useful or bring enjoyment to all people, even those I’ve never met. I want to go on living even after my death!” Anne is still living in the hearts of countless readers. Even after so many years her book stands out as a best seller and is recognized as one of the best memoirs of the Holocaust. Anne Frank did not lose hope till the end. She didn’t stop dreaming even in the worst condition. This book will inspire you to be positive in difficult situation. It will motivate you to keep a diary or at least pen down your thoughts somewhere. This book can be read by teenagers (16+) as well as their parents. Parents will understand their kids better after reading this book.
