How Does Anne Frank Change

Imagine being a 13 year old removed from friends and normal daily activities. Now imagine that same 13 year old hiding away and fearing for their life. Living in cramped quarters with new people. There are definitely things that you would have to change. In the play The Diary of Anne Frank by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, it shows how Anne lived in the annex. Anne changed throughout the play by harnessing her energy, becoming a better writer and improving her relationships with other people.

It one scene she knocked over a glass of milk onto Mrs. Van Daan’s fur coat. “Now look what you’ve done...you clumsy little fool.” Says Mrs. Van Daan. It was then that she realized how hyper she behaved. From that point on Anne worked on expressing herself in less foolish ways. This shows that she learned from her mistake and was able to change into a more self-aware person. When she was in hiding she always had big ideas but knew that since she was in hiding, she couldn't do them. She occupied herself by putting her energy into writing stories and just writing in her diary.
She always said “I’m going to Paris... to study music and art.” After she received a diary from her dad, it all changed. She was writing every day and decided she wanted to become a journalist. Writing in the diary gave her a different outlook on being in hiding. It meant she had something constructive to occupy her time with. Before she received the diary, Anne attempted to entertain people in loud and obnoxious ways. Now all she had to do to entertain someone was read them a story she had written. Anne loved expressing herself, but with all the rules in the annex she couldn't be as loud as she wanted. Writing allowed her to freely emit her feelings and relieve the stress she faced in
