Anne Frank
I’ve chosen to read and write a response to The Diary of a Young Girl for a number of reasons, but the main reasons Anne Frank’s wartime diary stood out to me is because Anne Frank was a fairly normal and typical teenaged child, however unlike us she was unfortunate enough to be born in the soon to be war stricken era 1929, just before one of the worst events in history would soon occur, the rise of the Nazi’s, and the story is somewhat relevant to what is happening today, in the Middle East and throughout Europe, year 2015, Normal, typical kids just like me and my fellow student are becoming victims to war, losing everything they loved, having their families ravaged, possessions and belongings destroyed, while the “lucky” ones are forced to flee the country leaving everyone and everything they knew behind.
Although multiple adaptations of Anne Frank’s diary have been developed several being films and plays, I’ve still chosen to stick with the book.
