The Diary of a Young Girl, by Anne Frank
The Diary of a Young Girl, by Anne Frank, is about a young Jewish girl growing up in Europe during Nazi rule.
this book portraits all the struggles that her and her family had to endure in
order to survive . they were reduce to live like animals just so that the Nazi
army wouldn't find them and killed them.I think this books very inspirational because it shows the will of people to survive and keep going during hardship. this book was also very sad because it was and injustice everything that happen to the Jewish people.

I recommend this book to anyone who likes to read diaries, letters and likes to be in someone else's shoes for a while. I liked the book because I like to learn about historical figures and the roots of their lives. Anne Frank does a wonderful job explaining worldly themes and how those ideas connect with her own poor life. Readers, expect to sympathize with the narrator because Frank's diction is amazingly detailed and touching.

This diary is quite a different type of book. It's more of a historic piece of literature about the horrible things that a teenage Jewish girl; and what she was having to go through. It's amazing how great a writer she was and how well she was able to show her emotions through her text. The book goes through many tones as her life changes slowly day by day. I would recommend it to practically anyone because it is so interesting. It is a classic that will forever be frozen in time.

Us.You. Me.
My name is anonymous. I am here to tell the story of a girl that made a historical movement in our lives. We know her as the one and only "Anne Frank". At the age of 13 and almost 14, she went through many tough life experiences. She died at the age of 16. She was a committed writer and much more. She fell in love with a man who helped calm her during the time of war and hiding. She wasn't alone, but she felt. Anne was a very pretty girl, considering her innocence and family orientation. Her big sister , Margot, was more calm, and never spoke how she felt. This is what made them both different. Anne's family tried helping others, even if they were risking there own lives. Sometimes it had to be that way. They hid in a very secret place, but were almost caught more than once. I believe this may have traumatized the family because each day they were closer and closer of getting caught or killed. Every night, Anne would write for incase anyone found it. She always wanted to be a writer.She wrote her feelings,her traumatizations and troubles. At times, she said that no one understood her, but in reality it must have been very hard too. No one was actually happy, it was just a face they put to help everyone and make sure they were fine. They also had a cat. It was Anne's lovers. At times, she hated the cat because she left her own to flee. She was very jealous. Soon, she began to love it because ultimalety it was the only thing that was making her really happy besides looking outside the window of an attic curtain hours of the day. Her life was very hard. At this time around, we have it easy. Not everything Anne wanted came true because she hid for her life. She never else knew about her friends or other family members again. At times they ran out of food. They didn't know what to do except wait.
I really enjoy this book.I can read it as much times as I want and I will always find something new about it. The Diary Of a Young Girl is a book I will never get tired of reading. I like the emotion, genuiness ,and the way she expresses herself. Every page got me wanting to turn it to the next and keep reading. I wish I had read it before. The first time I read this book was in the seventh grade, but I just watched the documentary last year (2016). It is said that the book will always be better than the movie. I personally think, the book was better because the movie took down some things and didn't include it. Every time I read this story it gives me emotion. It makes me cry and realize that family is important. That we shouldn't complain because our teenage life is easy as comparison to hers. It involved love,fear,hatred,history and temptation. This is a perfect book to read if you want to read something that spices your brain a little. It makes you think and gives you suspense, This is a perfect combination of all. I promise you won't be bored.I one hundred percent recommend this book. I love it so much. Every time I go to a library I always look for it. Not only because it's interesting but also because there is many different books of the same thing. I personally have read only 3. Some are paper back and others are hard cover. This doesn't necessarily make a difference but some include more Information more than others.
