From the Diary of Anne Frank Summary

 Anne Frank begins writing her diary by explaining why she thought of writing a diary in the first place. She says that she has loving people around her whom she can call friends, she has her parents, siblings, relatives, and everybody a person needs on the surface but she still longs for a true friend. The kind of friend who can listen to her patiently, with whom her conversations progress from discussion on her everyday routine to things she can share only and only with a friend. Since she longs for such a personality in her life, she has decided to express herself through the paper as she also believes that paper is a patient listener than people. She wants her diary to be her friend and hence Anna calls it ‘Kitty’.

Then Anne introduces herself and her family members to everyone. She explains how her father had to shift to Holland followed by her mother, sister, and then her, how her grandmother died in January 1942, leaving a void in her mind, and how much she still misses her. Today is 20^th June 1942 and she is about to write for the first time in her diary.

She starts talking about her day at school and how excited people in her class are since a few days later their teachers are going to reveal who all have passed the grade and who all have to be kept back. She says that she has a good relationship with all her teachers and she is pretty good at academics too except for Maths, which she finds to be quite difficult. Anne adds that her maths teacher had once given her homework to write an essay on the topic ‘Chatterbox’ and she had claimed it to be her responsibility to showcase talking in a manner that is not wrong. In her essay, she wrote that her talking habits have traveled into her through her genes and no one can stop her since genes can’t be changed. Mr. Keesing, her maths teacher, laughed hard at her essay but assigned her the second one as she kept talking during the lecture. Her second essay was named ‘An Incorrigible Chatterbox’. The process continued and for the third time she was assigned an essay with the topic ‘Quack, Quack, Quack, Said Mistress Chatterbox’. The entire class laughed hard at the topic but Anne took it to her ego and wanted to show Mr Keesing that the joke was on him. One of her friends, Sanne, offered her help and both of them mutually wrote a beautiful poem on the same topic. Mr Keesing was quite impressed with her dedication and whatever she had written. After that, she never had to sit quietly in the classroom and she was not given extra homework.
