OVERVIEW OF THE CHAPTER
Anne Frank’s First Entry in the Diary
Anne Frank a thirteen year old girl was gifted a diary by her father. So she decided to write in her diary which she
considered to be her best friend in loneliness and named it ‘Kitty’. She began writing in June 1942. In her first entry
she expressed her desire to confide everything to the diary as she hadn’t been able to do so to anyone else. She felt
that paper had more patience than people. Secondly she thought that nobody would be interested in her diary as she
was a small girl.
Her Childhood and Family
Anne called her father as the most adorable person. He was 36 when he married her mother, who was just 25. She
has an older sister Margot. She had about 30 people around her but she had no true friend. They lived in Frankfurt
for sometime but as they were jewish they had to migrate to Holland for refuge. Her mother stayed with her
grandmother but went to Holland to her father.
Anne’s Schooling❤
She was sent to a Montessori nursery school. She stayed there until she was six. At her farewell she and her
headmistress Mrs Kuperus had tears in their eyes
Her Grandmother’s Death
In the summer of 1941 her grandmother fell ill. She had to be. operated upon but she died in January 1942. It gave
Anne a shock and she did not write her diary in that period, but after that she wrote again as she thought of her
grandmother’s love and affection
Her view About Teachers
Anne was not good at maths so she and her friends were always worried about it, but she was sure that she would
go to the next class. She always considered teachers to be the most unpredictable creatures on the earth. So she
told her friends not to lose hope.
Punishment by Mr Keesing
Anne was a good student and had a good relationship with all the teachers except Mr Keesing, who taught her
Maths. He was always annoyed by her talkative nature. He used to give her extra homework as punishment. He
asked her to write an essay on ‘A Chatterbox.’ He also put a slip of it on her bag to remind her about it.
Completion of Homework
Anne was unable to understand what she could write in the essay. She started writing to consider it the necessity.
She wrote the three pages for her satisfaction. She defined it as a feature of a student and also mentioned that she
inherited this trait from her mother who also used to talk much.
Homework given as Punishment Again
Mr Keesing read Annes’ essay in front of class and laughed at it. He gave her another essay as a punishment on
the topic ‘An Incorrigible Chatterbox’ and Quack, Quack, Quack, said Mistress Chatterbox
Anne Mocks Mr Keesing Amusingly with her Homework Anne wanted to write something interesting and different this time. So, with the help of her friend Sanne who was good at poetry, she wrote an essay in verse. It was about three duckling going deaf because their father duck beat
them as they quack way too much. Mr Keesing took the joke in the right way and didn’t bother Anne for talking
after that incident. She was not even given any extra homework after that.
