FROM THE DIARY OF A YOUNG GIRL, , TEXT–BOOK QUESTIONS, 1. Was Anne right when She said that the world would not be interested in the musings of a, thirteen-year-old girl?, Ans. Anne has been proved very wrong because her diary became one of the most widely read books, of the world and it has been translated into many other languages. In other words, the world was, wonderstruck over her musings., Or, Ans: No she was not right when she said that the world would not be interested in the musings of a, thirteen-year-old girl. She wrote the diary which was published under the name “The diary of a Young, girl”. The diary was originally written in Dutch language and was translated into many world, languages. It became one of the world’s most widely read and famous books. There are also several, films and television productions based on the dairy. It is considered therefore as the work of a mature, and insightful mind., , 2. In which language was The Diary Of Anne Frank originally written?, Ans. The diary was originally written in the Dutch language. Subsequently, it was translated into many, other languages of the world., OR, Ans: Anne’s diary was originally written in Dutch., In her first essay, Anne writes that talking is a student’s trait and justified her talkativeness by, explaining that it was in her genes because her mother was also talkative., , 3. Why does Anne need to give a brief sketch about her family? Does she treat Kitty as, an insider or an outsider?
Page 2 :
Ans. Anne thinks that nobody will be able to understand her musings if she goes straight to, the topic. That is the reason why she thinks it necessary to give a brief sketch of her family., She does not treat Kitty as an outsider but a very intimate insider with whom she can share, her innermost feelings and vicissitudes., OR, Ans: Anne gives a brief sketch of her life because no one shall understand the story that she, writes on the dairy Kitty. Moreover, a good introduction helps in drawing the reader’s, attention to the topic. It gives background information about writing. By providing a brief, sketch of her life, Anne gives an overview of her family, her relatives, and her age. This helps, the reader to develop a connection with the author. She treats Kitty as an insider because she, doesn’t want to jot down the facts the way most people would do, but she wants the dairy to, be her friend and is ready to confide in it., , 4. How does Anne feel about her father, her grandmother, Mrs Kuperus and Mr, Keesing? What do these tell you about her?, Ans. Anne loves all of them except Mr Keesing. She calls her father the most adorable father, she has ever seen. She often remembers her grandmother and misses her too much. She owns, also an intimate relationship with Mrs Kuperus as they are both in tears when they part each, other. So far Mr Keesing is concerned, he always remains annoyed with her because she talks, too much. She calls him an old fogey. Ann’s analysis of these characters shows that even at a, young age she happens to be a good judge of human character., OR, Ans: She feels that her father is the most adorable father she has ever seen. Her statement, no, one would understand her intensity of love for her grandma, tells that she loved her, grandmother gravely. Moreover, the touching gesture of lighting up one candle for a, grandmother on her birthday is also a poignant reminder of the love for grandma. She often, misses her grandmother after death., Mrs Kuperus. the headmistress is also dear to Anne. Both Anne and Mrs Kuperus were in, tears when they departed from each other at the end of the year with a heartbreaking farewell., Mr Keesing is her Maths teacher whom she calls an old fogey person. Anne was fond of, talking too much. It can be assumed that like all strict teachers Mr Keesing thought, talkativeness as a distraction for study and was annoyed with Anne. He punished her to write, an essay on ’chatterbox’, the person who talks much., 5. What does Anne write in her first essay?, Ans. In her first essay, Anne writes that talking is a student’s trait. She also writes that she, will try to keep it under control but she can’t do so because her mother also talked as much as, she does. She means to say that talking is her inherited trait and it is not much you can do, about inherited traits.
Page 3 :
OR, Ans: In her first essay, titled ‘A Chatterbox’, Anne wants to come up with convincing, arguments to justify the necessity of talking. She writes that talking is student’s trait and, would never be able to cure herself of the habit since her mother talks as much as She does., She argues that it is not easy for a person to leave inherited traits., 6. Anne says teachers are most unpredictable. Is Mr Keesing unpredictable? How?, Ans. Anne says teachers are the most unpredictable creatures on the earth. Mr Keesing proves, to be very unpredictable. He seems to be a strict disciplinarian at first. But when Anne comes, out with the unbeatable argument in the essays assigned to her by him as a punishment for, talking in the class. Mr Keesing changes his attitude towards her. He now allows her to talk, in the class., OR, Ans: Mr Keesing, the Maths teacher assigns Anne to write some essays as a punishment for, her being talkative throughout lessons. She is asked to write an essay on A chatterbox’. This, way he tries to play a joke on her but when she writes her last essay in verse form Mr, Keesing Is impressed by her talent that he likes the essay and reads it to the whole class., Finally, he allows her to, talk in the class and does not assign any extra homework. This is how Mr Keesing behaves in, an unpredictable way., , Thinking About Language, I). 1. Do you keep a diary?
