Dear Diary, It was very surprising that Anne feels that she is on vacation; it is like an adventure for her. The two families, the Franks' and the Van Daans, however are in constant fear of capture. They have to stay together and compromise with each other. It's very difficult to adjust when everyone has different views from each other. Peter is a "hypochondriac"; Anne's mom and Peter's mom are constantly fighting and speak improper Dutch. Mrs. Van Daan is very critical and always criticizes Anne, about how she is not brought up well and is spoiled.

An optimistic girl is now in the fear of getting discovered and shot. At one second everyone, Jews, Non-Jews and Christians lived side by side and the next the Nazi regime killed the Jews and erased their whole identity. She has to question her presence in society.

As he is trying to move the door since it is stuck. Miep Gies, a worker in Mr. Frank’s office, spends a night in the annex along with her husband. Her father becomes very ill and they can't even call the doctor however he soon gets better. The way Anne writes about these events occurring in the household it awakens a scary feeling. You're unable to do anything for a person you love the most because you're in constant fear of getting killed yourself. The Nazi party grew powerful day by day and enjoys what they're getting in response. Nothing but groans shrieks of the innocent. They get to
