From my readings in the beginning of the book I see problems rising even from the first few pages, as she states many times she doesn’t have many friends, and has a very fixated opinion of charistics of her classmates, but in her free time she writes stories about her daily life, and her feelings into her diary which from how she describes it, it is very close to her.  Another thing that I think is sad is she gave her imaginary friend/book a name, which makes me feel bad because she doesn’t have a real friends name to write too. There are many sad things and events that have happened to this innocent girl, this is including Nazis, Isolation, birthdays never celebrated, lonely at school, and Jew restriction on daily life activities and lifestyles.

The prompt I chose was Feelings, I wanted to write about this one because in the beginning of the book I get a lot of sad/depressing feelings from this young girl who is surviving the war by her will to write her life into this precious book. An example of a current sad/dangerous state she  is on page 12 she says, “we jews are no longer allowed to make use of this luxury, our own two feet are good enough for us.” This means the way she sees jews value has gone down so low it is less valuable than her own two feet. To think about yourself like this from the event that take place around her really makes life sad for her, and a depression emotion comes to the reader.

In this small quote I feel in my heart how happy/lucky I should be to live in this world were currently war, mass killings, torture to jews, is no longer a thing and to read this book and think back to all the people who had to experience it it really makes me think to even how on top of all those problems her birthday can’t even be celebrated because her grandma is sick. This now makes me think about how she wrote her life stories about a very sad and tuff issue, and we are going through a hard experience now with the corona issue, and it makes me think maybe I should start a journal writing in my daily life, and what I am doing during this tough time. In this section of the reading I have learned information can be changed the way people interpret/understand it so why not record it down so we can keep the details close to the truth so generation after us can learn issues from documents recorded at the time like the Jewish journals or stories about corona. We must keep info straightforward so the possibility of not understanding becomes a very low chance, “history is only there if we preserve it.”
