The Diary of a Young Girl

I believe that the significance of the title in this Memoir is very clear, read the title, and you will know right away what it’s about, but just in case, it’s significance is that it’s about a young girl who writes about her life in a diary which she names “Kitty.”

The book is about the author, Anne M. Frank, who received her diary when she was 12 years old, and writes in it nearly every day about her new life in hiding.

The memoir was written as an epistle novel, which is another term for journal of diary.

Throughout the story, Anne was trying to find her true self. I think she came to know that, life has choices, and you have to make a decision which you can’t always make, because you’re afraid of hurting the other person. I believe that she also needed courage, bravery, intelligence, things that would get her to show her feelings toward her family and everyone else living in the Annex.

I thought this diary was written with true thought, true passion, and true heart. She captures every bit of detail that happens and writes it down, and writes it like her diary is the only one who would understand her, her only friend. I think this book is written extremely well, I don’t think it’s the best book I’ve read, but anyone who likes a true, adventurous, thrilling novel, then this memoir is the one for you.
