  2. Anne Frank lived in Holland with her family. Her family was from Jewish and she had four members in her family. She started her diary on june 14, 1942 that she received it for her birthday present from her parents when she was thirteen years old. In the diary, She wrote about her friends, about the forbidden rules that jewish were not allowed, how she felt and how does she began with a diary.
    (She also talked about the death of her granny, a game that she used to play, about her family, Harry(a boy) that she met on the road, how the parents thought about her report and the hiding place of 'Secret Annexe' that located in her father(Otto Frank)'s office ( I wrote the things that what Anne wrote it on the diary to help others to remember)).
    Anne named the diary as Kitty and the diary was Anne's friend.
    In section 1, the most two important facts are the diary and moving into the hiding place because as she received her diary, she started to write about her life and moving into the hiding place is where the real life story begins to Anne and more details with life story with Anne's family and Mr.Van Daan's family.

    1. A sincere effort, Yeji at summarizing your reading this far. Keep up the effort.

      What do you think are some of the thoughts that run through Anne's mind as she and her family hide from the dreaded German soldiers?

    2. As I read this book, I could feel that how Anne Frank felt as she runs away from the German soldiers. I could feel that how she felt nervous staying at that hiding place without knowing when the German solider will attack them suddenly , she wants freedom, curious with the outside world( to know what is happening at outside), think of death when they caught by the soldiers, etc. If I was Anne Frank then I might could die because I have to stay in the hiding place and communicate in soft or quite voice for a safety and the things that what Anne Frank does say that imagine staying in the hiding place, as there is no bath, use a washtub because of the warm water,(a lot more stuffs that we may find it difficult).

  3. A Jewish girl called Anne Frank was living in Holland. On June 12, Anne's thirteenth birthday, she received a lot of birthday presents and a diary was the one of her present which was from her father. Although she has a loving family and friends, she feels isolated sometimes, that's why she wanted a friend who she can talk to honestly and called her diary 'kitty'. Jewish people's freedom was strictly limited by Hitler. Anne's father didn't want Hitler to seize all the belongings. Anne's family decided to hide in the hiding house, 'Secret Annex' with Vaan Daan's family.
