Diary Of A Young Girl

Anne Frank was writing this during the second world war. As a child in this environment of inhumanity she was first of all lucky to be alive. She felt as if she was being alienated by her parents. As a child of World War Two it was a different time and a different society. She had to be extremely worried about every day life in her society and also had the normal emotional feelings of a thirteen year old school girl.

Because of these feelings she had I can understand her dilemma. I understand why she would write a diary in the first place. Her diary helped her deal with her every day life. The diary helped her her face the war environment and gave her the reinforcement she needed to cope with every day life. I also feel that it made her feel totally at ease. It helped her survive in a war torn environment.

In a "Sweet Secret" she wrote about being upset with entire family emotionally. It appears to me that she is going through a transitional period and is fighting the urge to want to be a woman but also remain a little girl for her father. This period of her writing also shows her sexual maturity and how she fantasizes about other women and lesbianism.
