Anne Frank 5

I am somewhat relieved that Anne starts to talk to Peter van Daan, the son of the other family in hiding with the Franks. Although Anne admits enjoying their talks and topics of conversation like sex, she still yearns to be alone. Maybe it is because she lives in a small space with too many people, especially people that don’t understand her. She mentioned getting along with her mother better and growing an understanding and tolerance for her, but still Anne needs someone her own age. And that is why Peter is good for her.
Anne’s mom should be happy for her and Peter and not be suspicious about their relationship. Even if they were more than just friends, they were two lonely kids in a miserable time where they couldn’t help but not try and keep up with the other kids and not miss out just because they were Jewish and in hiding. It’s not fair.
Peter and Anne seem to help each other. Anne helps Peter come out of his shell, while Peter helps Anne learn to trust someone and finally FINALLY talk to someone. I wonder if Anne would still let Margot, her sister, read her diary like she did when they first moved into the annex.
The more frequent scares that someone breaks into the annex or the people that bring the families food make noise start to worry everyone, especially Anne. She starts to think about the worst, but knowing her, she will definitely keep her head up.
