While being in the “ Secret Annexe” Anne and her mother argue a lot but later on in the book Anne and her mother’s relationship start to mature. She shows signs that she is maturing in her relationship with her mother because in diary entry January 2, 1944 she realizes she was very angry with her mother a year ago, she admits to being hot headed at sometimes, and she has changed some of her old ways when it comes to her mother.
Anne realizes she was very angry as a child when it came to her mother. Anne realizes this because in the text it states, “ Several times I came across letters dealing with the subjebecausemmy ” in such a hotheaded way that I was quite shocked, and asked myself “ Anne is it really you who mentioned hate? Oh, Anne, how could you!” This shows her realizing how angry she was as a child because she is seeing what mean and rude she was saying about her mother and the stuff she did. Another example is in the text it states, “ I should have been so brimful of rage and really so filled with such a thing as hate that had

Anne started to change in regards to her mother in the text it states, “ I usually keep my mouth shut if I get annoyed.” This shows her changing because in the past she would have said something back but now she is keeping her mouth closed. Another example of her changing is in the text it states, “ Those violent outbursts on paper were only giving vent to anger.” This demonstrates her changing because she is recognizing how she can handle her anger better than calling her mom names behind her back. As the evidence above shows Anne is starting to change some of her old ways with her mother.
As presented by the evidence Anne and her mother relationship is starting to mature. This shows that Anne has realized she was very angry with her mother a year ago, she admitted to being hot headed at sometimes, and she has changed some of her old ways when it comes to her

    During the beginning of her diary entry, she acts as if she’s still living a typical school life. In paragraph 4, she writes “Thank goodness summer vacation is almost here; one more week and our torment will be over.” This shows how she’s still focusing on the little things in her life that made her happy. Another diary entry, Anne describes her new residence- the Annex. Paragraph 19, “Thanks to Father and to a brush and a pot of glue, I was able to plaster the wall with pictures.” This shows how, despite being in the midst of hiding, she still looks to the bright side of…

    In this section of Let Me Hear Your Voice it becomes pretty evident that Anne-Marie is cured. Her development is nothing short of miraculous. The effectiveness of Anne-Marie’s behavioral intervention is occurring at a time when such an intervention was still considered by some as “morally reprehensible” (pg. 149) with the general consensus being that “Autistic children do not recover”. Yet here, after an eight-month period, Anne-Marie is able to empirically demonstrate with the Vineland test that she is functioning within normal developmental ranges for her age group with a 90% confidence interval.…

    | Anne says this in frustration after Mrs. Van Daan yells at her for spilling milk on her coat. This expresses another Anne because it suggests that Anne sees herself changing, that she envisions a different self. I feel that Anne says this because to her, everybody in the Annex shows more favoritism to Margot then her, especially her mother. On the outside it seems Anne can’t always control her temper, as she strives to be more like Margot, who is patient and calm. On the inside, she is jealous of Margot, wanting to have more of an attitude like hers, and convey a better personality to others, contrary to what she’s done. Also Anne is younger, so it is understandable that she'd look up to an older sibling. I can relate to this because many times in our family, I feel as if my parents favor my older sibling over me. I have the same feelings as expressed in this quote, as it is hard to be more mature than somebody older. This quotation suggests change in Anne, as she herself wants to change, and be more socially civil rather than her normal self. Though it conveys negativity on Anne’s character, as she is losing her temper, it also shows maturity, as she is maturing. This quote shows that she is maturing because she now realizes her impact on others, and wants to be more like Margot, who is quite a role model to her. Some questions that occurred were: * Will Anne keep maturing as she is already? *…

    That alone makes the reader think that she is very self reflective, and she always thinks of her past mistakes. In this entry, there are several signs that show her maturity, but there are three specific keys to fully seeing her development. In the January 2 entry, the main thing she talks about is her self regret for what she said about her mom. The first example of Anne’s maturity is when she wrote about herself coming across letters about her mom.…

    She also uses the metaphor “forests, castles, torchlight, cliff tops, seas where we would dive for pearls.” In this metaphor ‘torchlight’ suggests romance, which suggests even though they spend a lot of their time making love they still have romance, which suggests a strong love for each other. This also has a reference to how the lighting…

    My first reason why I think Anne feels this way about people is because she is accepting of all people. What I mean by this is that she accepts people for who they are and knows that everyone can be a good person. For example, when Mr. Van Daan took the bread from the kitchen and…

    1. Anne was introduced by Miss Enderby, she is the headmistress of the school.2. She was a little bit nervous, the author used the following to discribe her feelings: “Anne gazed back, feeling helpless…..she gave a watery smile”. I think that by these words the author would like to say that she was also disorientated.3. Miss Enderby gave Ann a lot of indications, like what to do with the children during the lesson, at which of them to pay more attention, and what to do during the break. I think after these indications, Anne become to feel more uncorfotable. If I were Ann, I wouldn`t like to hear such a number of instructions on my first day.4. Anne looks so at Arnold, because first of all she wants to see if Miss Enderby`s words have some link with the reality. While the headmistress discribed Arnold as a “broken home -brother in Borstal” he behaved like an usual little boy, he tried to amuse his friends. Arnold is an apple-cheeked boy, but Anne could see also that his “pink face” expressed his scorn of Miss Enderby.5. I think that children behaved unnaturally in this situation, it goes without saying that the children are so obedient because they feel some scare when Miss Enderby is in the classroom. According to my point a view, it is not a sign of respect. The “sign of relief” is a proof of my words, this expression means that all of them felt much better when the headmistress left the class.6. I think that Anne was a good student, because in the situation with the children, she tried to remember the piece of advice given her at college “Stand quite still, be quite calm, and gradually the children will become conscious that you are waiting…” .7. I think that children did not respect Anne, she was not an important person for them. It did not look like she had some authority for them. Whem she was introduced to her, their facec were unmoved. They observed Anne just in the moment when she began to behave like the headmistress did. Such behaviour was a normal for…
