This Quote Means...

I am reading The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank. I just read from pages 125-140. In these pages, Anne writes about what goes on in the Secret Annexe. It mostly is about how everything is getting worse and the fighting continues. Also, she writes about her dreams and how she is seeing her friend and her Grandma in them. Lastly, she writes bout how she starts to like Peter.
on page 87, it says, '"When you first came here we arranged that this room should be for both of us; if we were to divide it fairly, you would have the morning and I all afternoon! But I don't even ask that much, and I think that my tow afternoons are really perfectly reasonable."' This show that Anne is using a convincing tone. She tries to persuade. Dussel into letting her use the table in the room. Therefore, she tries to use a polite and convincing tone. I also think that she tries to show her logic to prove to Dussel that she is right.

A Friend from a Book

         Currently, I am reading the book, The Diary of a Young Girl, by Anne Frank. In this book, Anne describes what it is like to be in hiding, what happens there, and what she thinks about the people living with her.
         All the characters in this book have different personalities. However, I feel that I would most likely become friends with Anne Frank. I wold become friends with her because she is wants to be her own person and does not want to copy someone else. For example, she wants to be her own person because she doesn't like it when she is compared to her sister, Margot. On page 66, it says, "I show up terribly against them and am always hearing 'You don't find Margot or Peter doing that-why don't you follow their example? I simply loathe it...I want to be a strong character!" This shows that Anne doesn't want to be like Margot. She wants to be herself. I think that is why I would be her friend than anyone else in the book. I love that she actually has a unique personality and how she doesn't want to be like anyone else.
