Reflection:
In about one month, Anne occasionally dreamed of her grandma and her
best friend, Hanneli. She must miss them very much. War always brought about breakups
and deaths. “Thinking about the suffering of those you hold dear can reduce you
to tears.” Anne was worried about Hanneli, and she could do nothing but pray
for God to perform a miracle on her girlfriend. Actually, Hanneli to Anne was a
symbol of the Jews; the entire Jews who were suffering outside.
Anne talked about her puberty shyly to Kitty. The changes took place
on the outside of her body, and also the inside. Anne longed to get her period
for more than one year, and it was the time. “I get my period (and that’s only
been three times)…I’m always looking forward to the time when I’ll feel that
secret inside me once again.” She also said she was once curious about her
friend Jacque’s body, and even wanted to kiss her. Such discussions are commonly
seen in a girl’s school, especially when it comes to the issue about breast and
menstruation. Teenagers are always curious about body and try to figure out sexual
orientation; Anne was not an exception because this is the experience of growth.
Anne was really grown-up, and could bear a baby. I think that Anne
always wanted to be a Mother. She mentioned the term “my children” very often
in her diary. Besides, she didn’t think her mother was a Mother. Anne’s “Momsy”
was like a friend, who poked fun on her when she cried. Isn’t her mom childish?
So, she herself was eager to be a veritable good Mother that could set a good
example for her children. Actually, my mom is just like my friend, too.
Sometimes she is willful than me, so it seems that I am her mother. For me, I
think it is pretty fun because I can have a friend and Mother at the same time.
By the way, Anne started to feel interested in Peter. Is it hormone
again?
