Concluding Response: Diary of a Young Girl

I feel like my interim response is going to be more in depth than this (I covered most of my thoughts). I might add though that I really admired Anne's style of writing - for a girl of her age, it seems very complex and mature. I also admire her philosophical approach to things - particularly towards the end when she expresses her views of Hitler, Britain and the war generally.

The end is so abrupt it almost takes the wind out of you! After her last entry, a short conclusion summaries what happened to her and her family after their annex was discovered...

Now, I feel really driven to visit Amsterdam (the location of the annex) and the museum dedicated to her life and diary. Very moving.

I haven't got much else to add, except I recommend to give it a read!

Happy reading, Kate x
