It shows optimism because Anne is seeing the best of situations even in the worst of times, and not for time periods alone. Anne has the same optimism for people. For example,…

Only 15% of the diary entries mention WWII and those that do cushion the blow that the horror of the Holocaust should strike in those…

He is one of the only people she is able to confide in and one of the only ones that support her. She is a difficult person to understand, but Otto Frank does and loves his daughter. He also was so determined to keep…
