Anne reminds me of my sister. I am close with both of my parents, but at times we would have to split into 2 v. 2 teams. While I would have liked to be with my dad sometimes, Jordan seemed to somehow always get to “pick first”. They both understood each other more than my mom or I could ever understand either of them. It is because they are so alike. And Anne feels the same way about her mother and sister how they are alike and how her and her dad are alike but different from them.
The arrival of the van Daan family sparks new hope for Anne and relief to know that some family friends are still alive. These two families, however seem to be a giant dysfunctional group. The mothers argue and Mr. van Daan just gets on everybody’s nerves. Anne should not have too much of a problem with everything that is going on in the annex because she keeps to herself so much. At times like these, when her parents argue or there is no respectable adult to talk to, I am glad Anne has her diary to confide in. My parents always tell me how unhealthy it is to not talk about something that is bothering you. I hope that Anne’s writing everything down is enough for her to take care of herself. I don’t know how close Anne is to Margot, but I hope that maybe these close quarters can help them resolve their differences. As for Anne and her mother, I am not so sure.
