Reflection:
A year and a half had passed, Anne could no more satisfy with such
condition. “My longing for someone to talk to has become so unbearable that I
somehow took it into my head to select Peter for this role.” Why did she say
that? Anne could share whatever in her head with her dearest Kitty; however, the
only problem was that Kitty couldn’t reply her. I had once kept a diary like
the way Anne did, but the only thing I can feel was “I’m soliloquizing.” I
think what Anne really needed was to talk to a living person who could give her
response or suggestions. Obviously, it was unlikely for her to choose her
parents or Margot, because they just had a fight. So, there was only Peter,
whom Anne once thought he was a dope, left. Yet, Anne still felt wronged, “No
one could hear me…I had to beg Peter for favors.” You never know what a woman
thinks, because woman is capricious.
There was a funny day when Anne and Peter were talking about sex.
“Peter Van Daan wasn’t ever as obnoxious about this subject (sex) as the boys
at school.” Peter was just like an elder brother, teaching Anne about “male
sexual organ” with a tomcat. “He went on talking in a normal voice… Nor did he
have any ulterior motives.” Anne felt released and asked Peter about more. I
can never imagine what it will be if I talk about this subject with a boy. I
think Peter was a decent and simpleminded boy. Since this kind of boy is rarely
seen nowadays, I appreciate Peter very much.
