Peter Wessel is Anne’s childhood crush. She loves him very much and fantasizes about him as well. She thinks he will not confess his love to her because he is shy and instead dates other girls. At this point, Anne and her family also go into hiding at the secret annex for safety. Diary entries, July 11, 1942 to October 9, 1942 describe how the Franks and their company, the Van Daans have to get used to living in the Annex. Margot (Anne’s sister), Edith (Anne’s mom), and Otto cannot get used to the sound of the clock in the annex because of its constant ringing. They begin to settle in, have to purchase groceries, clean the place, and keep quiet to begin their new lives in this small place. The secret annex was located in Otto’s office building at the attic and everyone needed to keep quiet to avoid being caught. Anne also talks about politics in the book and daily life. Diary entries, October 14, 1942 to November 20, 1942 discuss her education in the annex. Since she cannot go outside and go to her traditional classroom since she is in hiding and it is far too dangerous, she reads and learns new things from her sister or father and by reading textbooks. She studies things like History, Greek and Roman mythology, French, shorthand, and Math (including Algebra and Geometry). She is going through a rough patch with her mother and sister, and clings to her father for comfort. During this point in time, a new person comes to
“The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely, or unhappy is to go outside... Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be”(Anne Frank).

This literary work truly shows how Anne Frank was a martyr of racism and an insightful chronicler of her time period and place. The work also shows the typical adolescence of Anne Frank and her constant arguments with her mother in particular. It also deals with the day to day hiding she and her family went through. The only problem with the book is that the fact that Anne Frank rewrote her diary about two months before she was captured because she wanted her journal to be published after the war and she wanted to peruse a career in journalism. Therefore it is hard to tell what existed in her original copy and how much did she add afterwards.
