Reading log week 14

1 hour     The Diary of Anne Frank    pgs 205-254
Ethics: Anne thinks herself as someone who trys harder than others. However many think of her as conceited, and Anne has a counter arguement to go against this claim  that she doesn't understand very well.
             "Now the trying part about me is that I criticize and scold myself far more than anyone else does. then if Mummy adds her bit of advice the pile of sermons becomes so insurmountable that in my despair I become rude and start contradicting them..."
             This quote means that Anne trys harder than most, but others tend to take it the wrong way when she flips out in stress or despair.

1 hour   The Diary of anne Frank   pgs 255- 306 (end)
Details: In the end, Anne never wrote of her time at the camps, but according to the "Afterwards" section of the book, her super anexxe group was caught. They were sent to camps, where of all the members of the Frank family, Otto Frank was the only one who survived. Anne died a peaceful death according to a survivor.
            " 'Anne, who was already sick at the time, was not informed of her sister's death; but after a few days she sensed it, and soon afterwards she died, peacefully, feeling nothing bad was happening to her.' "
           This quote shows that Anne died a peaceful death. This also showed how strong Anne was to endure all the trauma, and how she seemed to die with no regrets.
