Anne Frank’s iconic diary speaks wonders about humanity. In the most dire of circumstances, she found comfort in writing, expressing her inner emotions and opinions about a plethora of subjects during her time in hiding in a secret Annexe in Amsterdam during World War Two.
I am really struggling to write this review since the subject is utterly devastating. I was always too afraid to read the diary based on the horrific aftermath of their lives. However, after visiting the Anne Frank museum in Amsterdam my view changed and instead I saw the purpose of her diary. Rather than dwelling on horrors of war and the injustice of humankind, Anne Frank discusses how the eight members survived, their daily routines, the news, hobbies, sexuality and romance. As she grows, so does her criticality as a writer and her opinions and views change too.
What strikes me most about her diary is her eloquence as a young writer-from aged 13 to 15- with excellent vocabulary and her opinions on life at such a tender age. Anne Frank wished to be a writer and hoped her writing (she edited her diary and wrote a story about the Annexe) would be read by many, which is the sole purpose anyone should fulfil her wishes.
