One signpost I see pop up often is tough question. For example, on page 37 she’s asking herself why Mrs.Vann Dan is flirting with her father because her mother does not act like that.

Thoughts and feelings

I feel annoyed by Mrs. Van Daan and the way she acts, she seems stuck up. Page 20-30

Quote

“I can shake off everything as I write; my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn.” I can kind of relate but instead of writing it’s more just going outside. Page 45.

Confusing

Anne’s mixed feelings about her mom are hard to understand because sometimes she loves her and other time she hates her. Page 50-60.

Surprising

The rules they followed to stay hidden were very strict, like they could only listen to the radio at certain times. Page 10-25.

Week 2 thoughts and feelings

wattsar641 — 2024-12-02 13:46:52 UTC

Page 152. Anne talks about the arguments that happen in the annex and how she try’s to stay positive. I sort of feel her frustration because it frustrates me when people in my house are arguing.

Week 2 Quote

wattsar641 — 2024-12-02 14:08:27 UTC

"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!" Page 147. This quote stuck with me because it shows how Anne wants to get out of the annex and actually do something with her life.

Week 2 confusing

wattsar641 — 2024-12-02 14:14:41 UTC

Page 96. She talks about of she’s so misunderstood by her parents, especially her mother. It’s confusing to me because I don’t think she realizes her mother probably shares the same stress and fear of hiding, but Anne just thinks she’s being rude or cold.

Week 2 surprising

wattsar641 — 2024-12-12 12:54:58 UTC

Page 125 "One half embodies my exuberant cheerfulness... But there’s another side, a purer, deeper side, that no one knows." This surprised me because Anne seemed like someone who would be the same all the time, but she is very different inside.

Week 2 Relatable

wattsar641 — 2024-12-12 13:00:08 UTC

On page 114 Anne writes about being miss understood by her parents. I relate to this because sometimes I feel like I’m not being heard by my parents.

Signpost week 3

wattsar641 — 2024-12-12 15:25:13 UTC

On page 174, I noticed Words of the Wiser when Anne says, "Whoever is happy will make others happy too." It shows her belief in spreading kindness even during hard times.

Quote week 3

wattsar641 — 2024-12-12 15:25:46 UTC

"I don’t think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains" page 188, stood out to me because it shows how hopeful Anne is, even in such a tough situation.

Week 3 thoughts and feelings

wattsar641 — 2024-12-12 15:26:26 UTC

On page 204, when Anne talks about hearing burglars and being scared they’d be discovered, I felt nervous and sad for her. It made me think about how hard it must have been to live in fear every day.

Week 3 confusing

wattsar641 — 2024-12-12 15:27:40 UTC

On page 219, Anne says she isn’t sure if she likes Peter as a friend or more. It’s a little confusing because her feelings seem to change a lot, which makes sense because she’s dealing with so much.

Week 3 surprising

wattsar641 — 2024-12-12 15:28:51 UTC

On page 240, I was surprised that Anne still dreams about being a writer after the war because she thought she could make it out of the war.

Signpost week 4

wattsar641 — 2024-12-18 15:31:44 UTC

Contrasts and Contradictions, page 170. Anne describes being cheerful on the outside but struggling internally. This shows how she hides her feelings to protect others in the annex.

Quote week 4

wattsar641 — 2024-12-18 15:33:13 UTC

Page 196. “I want to go on living even after my death.” This stood out to me because she wants to be known even after she’s gone which is what happened.

Thoughts and Feelings week 4

wattsar641 — 2024-12-18 15:33:45 UTC

Page 200. Anne talks about wanting freedom and fresh air. This made me feel sad because it’s a reminder of how much we take for granted.

Something confusing week 4

wattsar641 — 2024-12-18 15:34:45 UTC

Page 220. Anne’s feelings for Peter are unclear. It’s hard to tell if she likes him romantically or just needs a friend.

Something Surprising week 4

wattsar641 — 2024-12-18 15:36:53 UTC

Page 230. Anne thinks on how much she’s grown emotionally. It’s surprising how mature and thoughtful she is for her age.
