Part 4

Summary:

She hasn't written much in a year. So Hanukkah and St. Nicholas day is here again! They always make something good out of their gifts to each other. Anne becomes sick and tries to fight it off. Even though its Christmas, they try to make the best of it, even though they have a war going on outside of the annex. Anne had written a couple of bad things about her mother. Anne starts to grow up and realize what her mother feels. Anne also starts to become desperate for Peter Van Daan. Anne becomes very bored at the annex due to the same stories being told over and over again about jews in hiding. But starts to talk to Peter a lot more. She starts to develop feelings for him after talking to him for a while. She starts to hang out with him constantly. People in the annex start to bother Anne about Peter. Anne also constantly thinks about what she was like 2 years ago. And she said she will never go back to that person because she likes who she has become.

Review:

I haven't learn anything new this week simply because it seems like the story is kind of repeating itself. But I did learn more about Anne's "love life" with Peter. I find it normal that she has changed a lot from living in the annex. I think any person would just because of how serious of the situation they are in.

Focus:

What is the difference between how the war is then and how you would think it would be during this period of time?

The war how it was then is much easier then it would be now. I think that it would be a lot harder now, because everyone is so selfish now a days. It would also be much harder to go into hiding now, because of the technology and people can track down other people easier. Also they can kill people so much faster now, than then in the concentration camps.
