The Diary of a Young Girl is a terrific discovery of the character of Anne Frank. Any young girl can find ways to relate to her, regardless of where she lives or the conditions she enjoys or endures. Anne had both a taste of the good life and the not-so-good life, terrible confinement in fact. Yet despite the things that were going on around her during these years of detention, she stayed positive and continued to grow and learn in every sense of the word.

She's a character who will live on indefinitely. She painted a picture of one little spot on the world's canvas during a time in history that will not soon be forgotten. She has the energy to light up any girl, help her to live above her circumstances and look for the positive side of things. She returns to her studies day after day, seeking to learn more about the outside world that threatens her well-being.
