DIARY OF A YOUNG GIRL

DIARY OF A YOUNG GIRL 

ABOUT: The Diary of a Young Girl, often referred to as The Diary of Anne Frank, is a book of the writings from the Dutch-language diary kept by Anne Frank while she was hiding for two years with her family during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. The family was apprehended in 1944 and Anne Frank died of typhus in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945. 

PLOT: The Diary of a Young Girl is the story of Anne Frank, a Jewish teenager who lived in hiding in Amsterdam during the holocaust. Though she and six of the seven others would die after being discovered and captured, Anne's father, Otto, received his daughter's writings and published them as a historical memoir. 

REVIEW: 'The Diary of a Young Girl' by Anne Frank is not a mere teenage girl's entry, but is way more than that. this book is a personal account of the author, Anne Frank, who maintained her during her hiding in the 'secret annex' at the time of World War 2. It would not be right to perceive it as an account of childish rambles and whines, but rather it is a wonderful literary piece, depicting the beauty and significant potential of the human mind. As you turn through the pages of this book, you get to read about the author's opinions, thoughts, and ideas on various subjects including matters of war, religion, philosophy, human relationships and desires, etc. which are truly fascinating. the readers also get an idea about the instability and fragility in a teenager's mind which is quite relatable. Anne has an interesting personality and perspective towards life and the way she keeps an understanding of herself and everyone around her is intriguing. She is a courageous young lady who aspires to be a writer or journalist growing up and dwells on various modern-day ideas. it is absolutely enchanting to see how a girl so young has her own opinions on great topics such as world politics and how her creativity and powerful imagination are beautifully described in her own words. this book totally serves as an insightful medium for learning.
