As I’ve been reading Anne Frank’s diary, I’ve noticed how she must be feeling as she lives in the Secret Annexe.
She has to be very quiet during the day, and I bet she wishes she could just spend at least one day of freedom. This is how people in third world countries would feel. Some of them would be in hiding too, isolated, and not knowing what is going on in the war. Luckily for Anne, Mr Kugler, Jan, Miep and Bep come to visit the Secret Annexe often to tell news of the war. However, Anne would still be feeling very cut-off from the rest of the world.

Some similarities between Anne and I are that we both have older siblings, we both like to read, and we both keep a diary. Anne writes in hers more, but she has less things to do. Neither of us like the sound of gunshots, and it would drive me up the wall (Anne as well) if I had to be quiet all day like Anne does!

Anne feeling very depressed and deserted would be kind of what it would be like in the concentration camps how the prisoners are feeling. They have absolutely no freedom outside in the open.

Anne and her family are known nothing that is going in the war. She is feeling that she is very cut off from the outside world. This means the Germans are trying not to let information leak out.

At present, many people in Iraq are in hiding because of the war there. Many must be in the same situation as Anne Frank with their constant fear of being discovered.

Also, there is a chapter in the Bible called "Esther" in which the Jews are also being chased and hunted even though they are innocent. This is the same situation that Anne was in.
