ANNE’S BEST FRIEND
Do you want a
friend whom you could tell everything to, like
your deepest feelings and thoughts? Or are
you afraid that your friend would laugh
at you, or would not understand what you are going
through? Anne
Frank wanted the first
kind, so she made her diary her best friend.
Anne lived in Amsterdam in the
Netherlands during World War II. Her family was
Jewish so the had to hide
or they would
be caught by the German Nazis. She and her family
hide away for two years before they were
discovered. During that time the only
true friend was her diary. She said, “I don’t want
to set down a
series of facts in a
diary as most people do, but I want this diary
itself to be my friend, and I shall
call my friend Kitty.” Now
r
ead how she felt after being in the
hiding place since July 1942.
Thursday 15, June, 1944
Dear
kitty,
I wonder if it’s because I
haven’t been able to be outdoors for so long that
I’ve grown so crazy about
everything to
do with nature. I can well remember that there was
a time when a deep blue sky, the song of
the birds, moonlight and flowers could
never have kept me spellbound. That’s changed
since I was here.
…
For example, when it was so
warm, I stayed awake on purpose until half past
eleven one evening in order
to have a
good look at the moon for once by myself. But as
the moon gave far too much light, I didn’t dare
open
a
window.
Another
time
some
months
ago,
I
happened
to
be
upstairs
one
evening
when
the
window
was
open.
I didn’t go downstairs until
the
window had to be shut. The dark,
rainy evening, the wind, the thundering
clouds held me entirely in their power;
it was the first time in a year and a half that
I’d seen the night
face to
face…
…Sadly…I am only able
to look at nature through dirty curtains hanging
before very dusty windows. It’s
no
pleasure looking through these any longer because
nature is one thing that really must be
experienced.
Yours,
Anne
