Dear Diary,
Today was my first day of school. I was very excited, but at the same time, a
bit nervous to go to school. The school was very big and my classroom was
very spacious. Since it was the first day of my school, I wanted to create a
good impression on teachers. So, I sat on the first bench. I was asked to give
a self-introduction to my classmates in the classroom. I was embarrassed, but
somehow gave a short introduction about myself. Then one girl named Tin
approached me and asked me a few things like where I stayed, and from
which place I was. The conversation with Tin seemed to be interrogative but
comfortable. Tin gave me a tour of the school and I enjoyed it. For now, I
consider Tin as my best friend in school. Overall, the first-day experience in
my new school was interesting.
Anyway, a new day tomorrow. Wishing myself good luck!
Good Night my dear diary 🙂

31. Saturday 12, February 1944
Dear Kitty,
The sun is shining. The sky is a deep
blue. There is a lovely breeze and I’m
longing – so longing for everything. To talk,
to be free, to have friends, to be alone.
And I do so long… to cry!
32. I feel as if I'm going to burst, and I know
that it would get better with crying; but I
can't. I'm restless. I go from one room to
the other, breathe through the crack of a
closed window, feel my heart beating as if
it is saying, “Can't you satisfy my longings
at last?”
33. I feel that it's spring within me. I feel that
spring is awakening. I feel it in my whole
body and soul. It is an effort to behave
normally; I feel utterly confused, don't
know what to do, what to do. I only know
that I am longing…
-Anne
35. Answer:
Anne is expressing a longing for various aspects of life. She
desires to talk, to be free, to have friends, and to be alone. This
suggests that she is searching for different experiences and
emotions that would bring fulfillment and satisfaction to her life.
Additionally, her longing to cry may indicate a need for
emotional release or understanding. Anne seems to be seeking a
sense of connection, freedom, emotional expression, and
understanding in her life.
36. Sunday, February 13, 1944
Dear Kitty,
Since Saturday, a lot has changed for
me. It came about like this. I longed – and
am still longing – but now, something has
happened, which has made it a little, just a
little, less.
37. To my great joy – I will be quite honest
about it – already this morning, I noticed
that Peter kept looking at me all the time.
Not in the ordinary way, I don't know how,
I just can't explain.
38. I used to think that Peter was in love with
Margot, but yesterday, I suddenly had the
feeling that it was not so. I made a special
effort not to look at him too much. Because
whenever I did, he kept on looking, too, and
then – yes, then – it gave me a lovely
feeling inside, but which I mustn't feel too
often.
39. I desperately want to be alone. Daddy
has noticed that I'm not quite my usual self,
but I really can't tell him everything. “Leave
me alone, leave me alone!” That's what I'd
like to keep crying out all the time. Who
knows? The day may come when I'm left
alone more than I would wish!
-Anne
41. Answer:
Anne felt better the next day when she
noticed that Peter was looking at her
constantly, which brought her great joy. This
attention from Peter seemed to alleviate
some of her longing or dissatisfaction,
making her feel a little less overwhelmed by
her emotions.
42. Wednesday, 23 February, 1944
Dear Kitty,
It's lovely weather outside, and I've quite
perked up since yesterday. Nearly every morning, I
go to the attic where Peter works to blow the
stuffy air out of my lungs. From my favorite spot
on the floor, I look up at the blue sky and the bare
chestnut tree, on whose branches little raindrops
shine, appearing like silver; and at the seagulls and
the other birds as they glide on the wind.
43. But I looked out of the window, too,
over a large area of Amsterdam, over all the
roofs and on to the horizon, which was such
a pale blue that it was hard to see the
dividing line. “As long as this exists,” I
thought, “and I may live to see it, this
sunshine, the cloudless skies, while this
lasts, I cannot be unhappy.”
44. The best remedy for those who are afraid,
lonely, or unhappy is to go outside –
somewhere where they can be quite alone
with the heavens, nature, and God. Because
only then does one feel that all is as it
should be and that God wishes to see
people happy, amidst the simple beauty of
nature.
45. As long as this exists, and it certainly always will, I
know that there will always be comfort for every
sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. And I
firmly believe that nature brings solace in all
troubles.
Oh, who knows? Perhaps it won't be long
before I can share this overwhelming feeling of bliss
with someone who feels the way I do about it.
-Anne
47. Answer:
According to Anne, one could feel less lonely and less
unhappy by going outside and being alone with nature,
the heavens, and God. She believes that being in
solitude amidst the simple beauty of nature allows one
to feel a sense of peace and contentment. Anne
expresses a deep connection and appreciation for
nature, as well as a belief in God's desire for people to
be happy.
49. Answer:
Anne feels a profound sense of reverence and awe towards
nature and God. She finds solace and comfort in the beauty of the
natural world, seeing it as a remedy for fear, loneliness, and
unhappiness. Anne's sentiments suggest that she views nature as
a source of spiritual nourishment and guidance, and she perceives
God as benevolent, wishing for people to find happiness amidst
the simplicity and tranquility of nature.
50. Which parts of the diary
show how perceptive and
sensitive Anne was?
51. Answer
-Anne's diary reveals her perceptive nature and her
sensitivity towards both her own emotions and the world
around her. She demonstrates a deep understanding of
human experience and a profound appreciation for the
beauty and solace that nature provides.
