At the end of Act II, Scene 1 of The Diary of Anne Frank, Anne confides in Peter. How do you think Anne feels after this conversation? To whom do you talk about your problems? What qualities does that person possess that makes you go to that person? Answer these questions in your journal in a response of at least 150 words, using details from the text to support your ideas as needed.

Anne Frank has had all of these negative feelings bottled up in her, and she never expressed this. So finally she couldn't hold in her negative emotions, and which lead to her exploding her emotions to her mom. She is angry being a teenager in the war and blames all of this on the grownups. So when she finally explodes she takes it out on her mom and simply needs to calm down and talk. With her outburst peter becomes in awe of her "sticking it to the man." To which he agrees with her about the whole situation, with them both becoming unlikely allies. Having talked to peter she realized that all she needed to do was simply communicate with someone. At the end of the scene, they become close and both agree if they ever need to talk they can talk to each other. With this, I think Anne feels like a weight lifted off her shoulder because she finally let go and talked about her feelings. I personally like to talk to my friends whenever I'm feeling negative about a certain situation. The reason for this is because my friends are understanding but still straight forward, they are not afraid to tell me when I'm wrong. They don't beat around the bush with me and, this is something I appreciate, I always want to be real with myself.
