Q1.

The Diary of a little girl is the real diary of a teenage girl that begins on
Anne’s 13th birthday when she gets a diary. It tells the story of her family who
live in Frankfurt, Germany and suddenly have to go into hiding as a result of
Hitler and the Nazi Party’s treatment of Jews in Europe during the second
world war. They escape to Amsterdam where they go into hiding with other
Jews.

The most important message is that all people have the right to live in
freedom. Anne’s story shows us that just because people may be a different
religion or race, doesn’t mean that they should be treated differently. The
terrible treatment of Jewish people during the war has shown this. Her diary
shows us things that people don’t think about now, for example how every day
the people are hiding worried about maybe being found and punished.

I liked that Anne was a really happy and cheerful person even though she and
her family were in an awful situation. Anne enjoyed writing and describing
others. She was talkative and inquisitive and could be selfish. She commented
on the people who shared their hiding space. Sometimes this wasn’t very nice,
but it shows how everybody’s life was challenging because they had to be
quiet and not bring attention to themselves.

I would recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in reading

historical, war or mystery books as it is so interesting.
