Book Report (The Diary of a Young Girl)
ReplyDeleteThe diary about Anne Frank is about Anne and her family moved to a place which is called Secret Annex when Nazis were invading neighboring countries which they kills Jews, and that includes Anne herself. After living in Annex with an another family, the diary talks about her daily life in the Annexe, the events that are happening around the world, disagreement between mom and the others, how she really want to go out of this annex and more. This diary is very important to all of us because it tells us the suffering of the Jews in the WWII and the daily life in the war.
In July 5th, 1942, the world turned upside-down for a young teenage girl, Anne Frank, when his father got a “call-up” notice from the SS, which is the German secret police. Being call-up means to be sent to concentration camp. For hiding, he went to Father’s office and they called the secret hiding place Secret Annexe. For few years, she spent the time in the Annexe and it is strongly forbidden to go out. No one even wants to go out. It must be a very tough time for a young teenager. Anne and her family is the very lucky family. By hiding into a secret hideout, they can be safe for the moments. The other Jews and Jewish family is sent to concentration camp and been killed by the heartless and cruel Nazis. At the secret hide-out, there are Mr. and Mrs. Van Daan, her “boyfriend” Peter van Daan, her mom and dad, his sister Margot and herself. In the Annexe, there are many problems going around everybody. Everybody worries about burglars, shortage of foods, disagreements, bombings and many others. In her diary, it can show they must be very quiet and mustn’t make any noises if someone is down the Annexe. There is even schedule of the daily life such as using toilet, eating breakfast, time you shouldn’t make any noises and the others. Even though she is in many problems and issues, she study many languages and read many books. It is very heartbreaking to read something that she wants to do in future, such as Anne hopes her children to read this author’s book and the hoping of end of war and freedom. This diary talks about very specific things about daily life in World War II of the Jews. It helps us to understand more about the war and how it affects the people’s life. After two years of hiding, her family and the people who were hiding together was caught and eventually the diary ended abruptly.
Reading this book, I can know World War II is a very tough time in Europe and for the Jews. Instead of reading historical textbook, I encourage others to read this diary which could tell more and more information about daily life than any textbooks. Anne is a very tough teenager, living through the hardest time and keeping hope even though is seems hopeless. I think we can learn from Anne that we should never give up even in the toughest condition.
