Anne Frank

Anne has just started to write about the "secret annex". She writes that Margot tells her that a letter to be deported has come for her. Anne is shocked that they would deport a girl as young as Margot. She writes about Miep and her husband Hank taking hastily prepared items to the "secret annex". Then she writes about having to put on many layers of clothing on a very hot day. She writes that Margot left with Miep earlier on a bicycle.
Anne then writes a very detailed description of the "secret annex". All of her entries are now addressed "Dear Kitty". I believe this is because she misses her cat. She writes about not liking Peter for he is shy and lazy. She writes about Mr. and Mrs. Van Daans fights. She also writes about how Mrs. Van Daan flirts with her father. She also writes about her and Peter getting along and bit better.
She had a bit of trouble with her mother and Margot and only understanding her father but it has smoothed over now. She sounds bored in most of her entries though I can't blame her for being quiet and never coming out isn't very exciting. I'll keep you posted.

My book

The book I shall be reading is called "The Diary of Anne Frank". Anne Franks diary was first published in 1947 by the request of her Dad, Otto Frank. Anne's diary was originally in German but it has been translated into more than 30 different languages! Anne Frank is 13 in her first entry. She has one pet, a cat name Moortje. She has a Mom, a Dad and a 16 year old sister.

Her first entry is on her birthday. She writes that she got up at 6:00 but couldn't wake anyone up until a quarter to 7. She writes about the gifts she recieved, including the book that she is using for a diary. She writes about her many friends and the many boys she likes. She also writes of a boy who walks her to school.

Thats about all I've read so far but she seems to be very happy.
