Notes two or three observations about how anne has changed. explains why these changes are important. uses specific examples and evidence from the text to qualify your views. i was so surprised when anne admitted that she and her family were partially to blame for the disagreements with the van daans. it's shocking to me because i don't think that, in 1942, anne was able to maturely reflect on her role in causing discord; however, in this entry dated january 22, 1944, she says, "it could have been quite different if we'd remain perfectly open and friendly, and not always only on the lookout for something to seize on." this entry reveals anne's growing maturity. the war and situation is forcing her to grow up quickly.
