This girl YAPSSS. like oh goshhh. But she do be having her relatable moments ngl. It’s sad to see her hear people talk down on her and just look at her bad stuff and assume stuff, and she can’t even say anything. I feel like the van dans are envious. I feel like they feel envy at the fact that they can afford to spoil their child. (Pg 31)

There is a quote on page 60 that says, "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." This is honestly like making me feel so terrible for them, I couldn’t imagine having to hide for so long. I would CRASH OUT!! The way they are having to do so much just to live, is sad.

this quote on pg 19-20, " 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." it resonates with me because she really doesn’t understand yet what’s coming for her and her family. She’s still so innocent just trying to have fun. Which I feel like is something that happens to us or has happened. Especially while growing up. When the unexpected comes, it changes you. And I feel like as we read you can notice little by little small changes.

OK SOO. on pages 93&94, Anne is washing dishes with Mrs van Daan and dussel. She tries to talk about a book, A BOOK! And they just start going off on her like what? Like leave this girl alone Gosh☠️. Like Anne handles this better than I ever would of. I would’ve yelled at their silly willy selves and humbled them real quick. They need to mind their business. So what if they are having to live together for so long, RESPECT IS STILL A THING. how are they gonna survive especially when they aren’t making their situation any better for themselves. They could’ve easily just changed the subject. They aren’t her parents😡

Honestly , at first I thought this book was literally so BORING. but as I keep on reading I’m starting to relate to Anne and understanding her a little more. So I guess it’s alright. But I wish I could just talk to this girl and be like girlie stand up for yourself!! Cause it’s really pushing my buttons how she lets them walk over her. Like I get it but there is a way she can shut them up without being rude.

Pg 100

The signpost I noticed in this page is that Mrs. Van Daan always thinks she is like better than everyone and she thinks she is in control with everyone that happens. And she ALWAYS has something to say.

What surprised me was the big change and maturity level of Anne grow .

serranoa484 — 2024-12-13 14:56:05 UTC

What surprised me was the END like I literally was like what the heck , I didn’t but did expect it to end like that… you know?

A connection I made with Anne frank is her feeling like her dad doesn’t understand her. Because that’s how it is with my dad, I’m not so little anymore and he doesn’t understand my emotions or why I act the way I act/ respond.

serranoa484 — 2024-12-13 15:03:50 UTC

A connection I made with Anne is also feeling like no one understands her or takes her seriously. You have to act a certain way with certain people and it’s exhausting. Like I’m a very hyper person and loud, but sometimes I like peace and quiet or deep conversations, but when I get quiet people get in a bad mood cause they think I’m in a bad mood. So it feels like no one understands me, only my best friend Makayla

Something that surprised me is the way she like stood up to her dad , I’m glad she like got into her senses after but I was like OH MY GOSH. Like I could never, I would get my butt beat.

serranoa484 — 2024-12-13 15:09:46 UTC

What confused me is why is Anne’s mom treated her different from Margot. Like how could a mother do that you know? Like is it jealousy? I know it sounds silly, but stuff like that happens! I don’t know, But it just really threw me off.

serranoa484 — 2024-12-13 15:14:51 UTC

I think this is something most people can think of when they read about Anne’s story or just about the holocaust’s, like WHY IS HITLER SUCH A BUTT HEAD!? I guess we will never know but that’s just something that will always be there in my noggin. Especially since like my favorite thing I’ve learned was about the holocaust, it interest me so much and I’ve done a lot of research on it.

A quote that resonated with me was “and the way daddy has forgiven me makes me feel more than ashamed of myself.”

It resonated with me because I have bad fights with my dad, especially since our relationship drifted some as I grew up and we are the same person so it like makes it harder. But I love him and it makes me feel so guilty when I accidentally say something I shouldn’t of have said to my dad.

Some thoughts and feelings I had was when Anne got with Peter, in the beginning I was like oh my gosh ew. But towards the end I understood that she was just lonely, and she only liked the idea of having someone to talk to while being locked up in there. But she realized that Peter wasn’t the guy for that.

serranoa484 — 2024-12-13 15:23:38 UTC

Like I feel so bad for Anne , she’s had SO MUCH hope and faith. Like I could never, I would like just end it there. I would turn into a D1 crash out and cry every day especially having to deal with the Van Dann’s. My patience would be to the FLOOR.

A connection I made with Anne was how adults don’t understand us, they think we have to go through the WORST things possible to not be happy/have depression and more. Like they don’t understand how stuff can impact us easily, they say “I had it harder in my times” ok but that doesn’t mean our feelings don’t matter. They say “they don’t know what they feel, they are confused, they don’t know what depression is” when literally that’s ALL we have as kids, all we have are emotions/feelings and our thoughts.

serranoa484 — 2024-12-13 15:32:19 UTC

Something that suprised me is how much something can impact you so quick. Like I knew that like stuff can obviously impact us, but seeing Anne’s change really made me think more about it.

serranoa484 — 2024-12-13 15:33:22 UTC

Something that suprised me was the way she talked about Mrs, Van Daan, but like I get it. It was super funny. (Pg 27-29)

serranoa484 — 2024-12-13 15:34:25 UTC

What confused me was why would they build houses just to.. bomb them? Like is what so silly
