Cameron's Reflection from "The Dairy of a Young Girl" by Anne Frank

I was suprised to find that this reading wasn't really heavy on the Holocaust issues because that was what I expected to read from a Jewish girl's diary from that time period. I can relate to the moment when Frank writes, "It is that I have no such real friend", because I find myself not having anyone to talk to about personal things sometimes. I agree with her when she writes, "...with all my friends, just fun and joking, nothing more. I can never bring myself to talk of anything outside the common round," because that happens with me. I'm afraid that no one would take me seriously, or that who ever I'm trying to confide in won't be serious about the matter.
She touches on the rights that the Jewish communities lost when Hitler came to power later on in her diary. That subject depresses me because I'm currently learning more and more about that era, and I think it's a shame what they had to go through. As I reached the ending of the reading, I thought it was strange that she referred to her period as being a, "sweet secret". I've never had to deal with that, nor will I ever, but my little sister goes through the same changes, so I've heard enough about the subject to know that it's not a "sweet" time in their feminine lives. I was a little thrown off by the closing of the reading because I thought it was odd for her to end the diary entry talking about her desires for companionship for other girls. But I do believe she was brave for voicing her feelings on the paper which she referred to being " more patient than man."
