Based on your first chunk of reading, discuss Anne Frank's perspective, What has shaped it and how?

                In the diary of the young girl Anne Frank writes about how her life and perspective have changed. The diary tells me that she is getting very frustrated with the other people in the annex, that she keeps all of her emotions inside of her and that those emotions are bubbling to the surface, and Anne even believes that she is all alone in the world at only the age of 13. One text that really stuck out to me was "Prominent citizens-innocent people- are thrown into prison to await their fate. If the saboteur can't be traced, the Gestapo simply put about five hostages against the wall. Announcements of their deaths appear in the paper frequently. The English radio speaks of their being gassed" (Frank 39). Anne, a 13 year old girl is hearing and learning about how thousands. Millions. Of innocent Jews are being gasses, bombed, shot, even tortured for something they can't control. All of this talk leaves Anne to wonder why she is to fortunate that her family found this annex and she starts to go a little bit crazy. Also she is forced to keep her feelings bottled up such as: "I would like to shout to Margot, Van Daan, Dussel-and Daddy too-¨Leave me in peace, let me sleep one night at least without my pillow being wet with tears, my eyes burning and my head throbbing. let me get away from it all, preferably away from the world!¨¨ (Frank 64). Anne thinks she is forced to keep all of her emotions inside of her because she doesn't think anyone would listen respectfully and yet still understand what she is going through. Anne is afraid of what is happening outside and that causes her to think about what will happen to her and her family if they are ever found out by anyone. Anne has been getting more used to her new home but there is one person she may never get used to, and that is Mrs Van Daan: "I had just written something about Mrs. Van Daan when she came in. Slap! I closed the book. "Hey, Anne, can't I just have a look?"
             "I'm afraid not." Naturally it gave me a frightful shock, because there was an unflattering description of her on this particular page" (Frank 29). Another confrontation between these too was: "Come along, Anne, have a few more vegetables," (Frank 31,32). She had taken a minute helping of vegetables herself. But she is not spoiled! Oh, no, too many vegetables in the evening make her constipated." Simple confrontations like these is what drives Anne over and up the wall. Anne even with many people with her in the annex can often feel alone in the entire world and can cause her to bottle up her feelings and go crazy. Maybe, just maybe soon she will release all of her emotions and no one will know what to say or do but try and make it better. Which Anne doesn't want. She doesn't want anyone to feel bad or sorry for her. Even in this short span of 75 pages you can tell that she has change both mentally and how she views everything that she comes across.
