Anne Frank's "The Diary Of A Young Girl" is truly a masterpiece.If you
are feeling deserted, disheartened and disapointed , then do read this
book. and you will know that how positive she was , when she was
surrounded by the horrors of second World War .
She was a Jew and her family along with a Van Daan family lived in a secret hide out for
nearly 2 years to escape the Gestapo(Hitlers Secret police) but they
were caught on 4th August 1944.Anne died on March, 1945 when she was
not even sixteen.During this 2 years of their hide out , Anne wrote
letters to 'Kitty' i.e to her diary (Anne named her diary 'Kitty').She
wrote her feelings in her diary which shows the gradual
development of a little girl into a mature girl with a positive
attitude.When I was reading this book , all the characters seemed to
come alive.Simple language but deep feelings made this book a
classic.Her attraction for Peter, her affection for her father, and her
disgust towards Mrs.Van Daan were expressed beautifully.
Her strong desire for freedom and her love for nature reflected in this
book.Although she was only 15 but she knew herself so well ! This
tragic real life story is really wonderful.
