On page 54 it states “ no one is spared, old people, babies, expectant mothers, the sick, each and all join in the march of death.” This really surprised me because it shows how cruel they were.

On page 40 it states “ As a matter of fact I think Cissy van Marxveldt is a first rate writer. I shall definitely let my children read her books.” This resonated with me because it shows how she was thinking about what she was gonna let her children read, but us as readers know that she won’t be able to have children.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 40 I feel sad for her because she talks about a writer she really likes and says “ I shall definitely let my children read her books” even though she isn’t going to have kids but she doesn’t know that and is remaining optimistic thinking she will be able to live a longer life.

On page 60 it states “there is nothing we can do but wait as calmly as we can till the misery comes to an end. Jews and Christians wait, the whole earth waits; and there are many who wait for death.” I feel really horrible for the people who are just awaiting their death and I think it’s really unfair.

On page 19-20 it states “ Then I had a chance, for the first time since our arrival, to tell you all about it, and at the same time to realize myself what had actually happened to me what was still going to happen.” This quote resonates with me because it shows how she is not understanding how her life is really gonna change because of the war.

On page 94 it states “ i could have slapped both faces at that moment as they stood there making a fool of me.” I was kinda like supporting her in a way because even though it’s not right they were treating her pretty bad so it’s kinda expected to act like that.

On page 90 it states “ North Amsterdam was very heavily bombed on Sunday. The destruction seems to be terrible. Whole streets lie in ruin,” This surprised me because I was kinda wondering how she knows all about this stuff even though she’s like locked in the Annex and she can’t even open up the blinds

On page 90 it states “ Just for fun I’m going to tell you each persons first wish when we are allowed to be outside again.”

This quote resonated with me because she still has hope that they will be able to go outside again even though we know what’s really going to happen.

On page 143 it states “When I looked outside right into the depth of Nature and God, then I was happy, really happy. And Peter, so long as I have that happiness here, the joy in nature, health and a lot more besides, all the while one has that, one can always recapture happiness.

"Riches can all be lost, but that happiness in your own heart can only be veiled, and it will still bring you happiness again, as long as you live. As long as you can look fearlessly up into the heavens, as long as you know that you are pure within, and that you will still find happiness." (I know it’s a long quote)

but this quote resonated with me because it shows how like I said in a previous one how you can be broken down but you have to look on the bright side even though she is in a horrible situation and I am grateful that I don’t have to go through what she’s going through it really just shows also how much she’s matured since the beginning of the book aswell

On page 125 the date is already the 27 of December 1943

I think it’s pretty crazy how they been living there for a year already and are living kinda comfortably, it’s also sad they just don’t know what’s coming.

On page 135 it states “A week ago, even yesterday, if anyone had asked me “which of your friends do you consider would be the most suitable to marry?” This quote resonated with me because she is thinking like about who she is gonna marry but us we know what’s going to happen.

On page 152 it states “"I've found that there is always some beauty left-in nature, sunshine, freedom, in yourself; these can all help you. Look at these things, then you find yourself again, and God, and then you regain your balance. And whoever is happy will make others happy too. He who has courage and faith will never perish in misery!" this connects with me because she’s saying how like there is always some beauty sunshine and freedom in yourself and talking about how to balance all these things and I feel like it connects with my because it’s saying like you have to be broken down in order to be even greater when you look through at your past and stuff.

On page 150 it states “"Oh, Peter, if only I could help you, if only you would let me! Together we could drive away your loneliness and mine!" while I was reading this I was thinking how like she really is determined and driven to be with Peter even with the obstacles they face.

On page 177 it states “"I want to go on living even after my death! And therefore I am grateful to God for giving me this gift, this possibility of developing myself and of writing, of expressing all that is in me. I can shake off everything if I write; my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn." I was thinking while reading this like “wow is a really good way for her to express how she feels in her writing there is so much detail and true care into her words.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 188 it states "If the truth is told, things are just as bad as you yourself care to make them." I agree with this quote because it’s about perspective and how you perceive the things around you.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 197 it states” I can shake off everything I write; my sorrows disappear,my courage is reborn.”

While I’m reading this I’m thinking woah she really is a amazing writer and it also helps me know that writing is basically her safe space.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 263 it states "In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart." even though the world is slowl turning into a chaotic and wilderness type place she still remains optimistic that not everything is truly evil.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 171 it states "Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy." On this page I like how her mom is saying all these positives things basically telling Anne to enjoy life.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 42 it states "'This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.'" while she was saying this I was thinking about how she is aware how even if it’s not the end but the end of the beginning shows how she is aware like I said of the world around her and what’s happening.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 111 it states "'Would anyone, either Jew or non-Jew, understand this about me, that I am simply a young girl badly in need of some rollicking fun?'" While I read this i was thinking about how even if she is trapped in a place where she can’t see anything outside or even open the curtains she still remains a young true to herself girl.
