1、 ANNES BEST FRIENDDo you want a friend whom you could tell everything to, like your deepest feelings and thoughts? Or are you afraid that your friend would laugh at you, or would not understand what you are going through? Anne Frank wanted the first kind, so she made her diary her best friend. Anne

She and her family hid away for nearly twenty-five months before they were discovered. During that time the only true friend was her diary. She said, “I d

Another time five months ago, I happened to be upstairs at dusk when the window was open. I didnt go downstairs

Its no pleasure looking through these any longer because nature is one thing that really must be experienced.Yours,Anne
