What do these statements tell you about Anne Frank as a person?
(i) We don’t seem to be able to get any closer, and that’s the problem. Maybe it’s my fault that we don’t confide in each other.
(ii) I don’t want to jot down the facts in this diary the way most people would, but I want the diary to be my friend.
(iii) Margot went to Holland in December, and I followed in February, when I was plunked down on the table as a birthday present for Margot.
(iv) If you ask me, there are so many dummies that about a quarter of the class should be kept back, but teachers are the most unpredictable creatures on earth.
(V) Anyone could ramble on and leave big spaces between the words, but the trick was to come up with convincing arguments to prove the necessity of talking.
(i) Anne wanted to get real close with somebody with whom she could share her innermost feelings and experiences. She thinks that its her fault that she couldn't connect with people.
(ii) Anne realized that she could only confide in a diary. She found in her diary a friend whom she could trust and narrate all her stories to. Waiting for a friend, she did not want to use diary to record her feelings only. She considered diary as her friend and named her 'Kitty'.
(iii) Margot was Anne's elder sister. These lines display her humorous and fun-loving nature.
(iv) These lines show her mature thinking and her confidence in herself. She thought that a quarter of her class won't be able to make it to the next class. But, she was sure about herself.
(v) When Anne was assigned an essay as a punishment, she showed a great interest in writing it unlike other students who are baffled at the thought of it. She knew she had to present convincing arguments to prove her point. She did not write the essay leaving big spaces between the words to make it a big one.
