Reading pages 100-133 in the book "The Diary Of A Young Girl" by Bree Martin

While reading pages 100-133 in the book "Anne Frank, The Diary Of A Young Girl" Anne first tells us about the "Secret Annex" daily timetable, and the jobs of all that lives there. As we read on she tells us the good news that Italy has capitulated, and has surrender, this brought great news to all the residents in the "Secret Annex",and was so far the best news. As we read on Anne tells us that the relations beween all of the residents in the "Secret Annex" were getting
worse. An example of this is on September, 16, 1944 a Thursday. She writes "At meal time, no one dares to open their mouths because whatever is said you either annoy someone or it is misunderstood". She wonders what has happened to all of the happiness and joy during the first couple of days everyone entered the "Secret Annex", and how, and why it was replaced by sadness, and despair. As the weeks passed the warehouse man, or also known as V.M. becomes suspicious about the "Secret Annex" which made it harded for Kraler, Miep, and Elli to give supplies to them; this caused them to be more sneeky and extra careful when entering the "Secret Annex" so that the V.M. wouldn't see them. As the weeks past Anne talks about something that was very special to her, her fountain pen. The fountain pen was a pen she was given to by her grandma (on her moms side) at the age of 9, and was one of her most prized possessions. This pen was what she used to write in her diary, well that is until she unknowingly threw it into the stove... Later on Anne talks about holidays that past, and holidays that were near, such as Christmas. She tells us how fun those holidays were and how she was looking forward to them next year. After the holidays Anne felt lonely and decided to try to make friends with Peter. She then became fond of Peter and they became great friends.
