During her confinement in the annex Anne often turns to the privacy of her diary to confide in. The diary is a place where“[Anne] can put all of her thoughts, all [her] feelings” (33), which is a luxury many of the other residents in the annex desire. During the play, we witness some of the direct quotes from Anne 's diary. Along with the humour and trivial problems that a teenager would write about, there are poetic and morose segments about her feelings about the holocaust and being trapped in the annex. She writes about being "surrounded by darkness and danger" (40); these sentiments from a 14-year-old girl gives insight to the forcibly accelerated way she grows up under such circumstances. The diary becomes Anne 's record of growing up as well as her record of her understanding of the war. The diary itself continues to be one of the most widely known books in the world, fulfilling Anne 's desire to become a writer and having her word live on after her death.

Anne Frank, her family, and the Van Daans endured difficult times of hunger, thirst, and lack of privacy cornered by walls for over two years. Anne confided her observations and feelings of the hard times within her diary she named Kitty. By writing in her diary both before and after the war, one could visibly notice how Anne went into the Annexe as a juvenile and came out as a young adult.

Anne Frank was a very energetic young girl who tended to annoy the people around her with her thoughts, and never thinks about the things she says before she speaks out.

However, Anne was a positive thinker, and was able to live without the fear of most people because of it. Anne’s positive attitude helped her to cope and survive is happiness. She writes in her diary, “You no doubt want to hear what I think of being in hiding. Well, all I can say is that I don't really know yet. I don't think I'll ever feel at home in this house, but that doesn't mean I hate it. It's more like being on vacation in some strange pension” (StudySync). Even though Anne knows she is supposed to hate the place she is at, she still manages to compare it with something happy. This attribution helps her see past the sad and dark
She never gave up hope and her diary conveys that. It has helped and inspired many around the globe. For example, according to the article, "It has given voice to those silenced by the Holocaust." Before she was captured by the Nazi's and sent to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, she wrote down a wish in her diary. The diary quote reads, "If God lets me live... I shall not remain insignificant. I shall work in the world for mankind." Anne's wish to not remain insignificant was granted. She is influential even to this day as her courage and honestly have inspired millions. Even though she was never given the chance to "work in the world for mankind", she has done a lot for those who suffered through the Holocaust and the rest of the world alike. This means that Anne Frank lives on through her diary, and through those it helps and inspires.
