Answer:
From the Diary of Anne Frank is an extract from the autobiography of a young Jewish girl, named Anne Frank. During world war II, Anne and her family were hiding in the Netherlands, to avoid being captured by the Nazis. They spent two years living in hidden rooms in an office building before they were betrayed and captured by the Nazis. In her diary, Anne Frank recorded her experiences during the 2 years she spent hiding.
In the excerpt, Anne initially feels that it's an unusual experience for her to pen down all her thoughts. She believes that nobody in future would be interested in reading a young girls past experiences from her diary. However, she still decides to write down her thoughts in her diary, which she names Kitty. She considers her diary to be her true and loyal friend as she is lonely and has no friends to talk to. Anne feels that her diary has more capacity to soak up thoughts than people with low patience levels. Further, she mentions how much she loves her family, especially her father who gifted her the diary on her thirteenth birthday. She also talks about her mother, sister, and grandmother.
On 20th June 1942, Anne states how her entire class was nervous about their exam results. Although she was confident about other subjects but wasnt quite sure about mathematics. She and her friend, G requested the students to calm down and not to make noise, but all in vain. She feels that about a quarter of the class were dummies that should be kept back in the same class as they didn't participate in other activities.
Anne also mentions how the mathematics teacher, Mr. Keesing, was annoyed by her talkative nature. He often punished her with extra homework whenever she talked during his class. in the first punishment, he asked her to write down an essay on A Chatterbox, which in itself was a weird topic for Anne. She gave a really good thought about the topic and decided to present convincing arguments in her essay, justifying her points in support of talking. She mentioned in the essay that she would try to improve herself but she couldn't do anything about the talkative trait that she inherited from her mother. When her teacher read the essay, he found it really amusing and then assigned her a second essay An Incorrigible Chatterbox for her unreformable talkative nature.
However, during the third lesson, Mr. Keesing had read enough of her justifications and then assigned her another topic entitled, Quack, Quack, Quack, Said Mistress Chatterbox as a punishment for her incorrigible habit. Anne had almost run out of thoughts after writing essays on similar topics previously. At this point, she took the help of her friend, Sanne, who was good at poetry. She wrote the essay from starting to end in a satirical verse. When her teacher read the essay he took it lightly and enjoyed it thoroughly. Since then, Anne was allowed to talk in the class and was never assigned any extra homework by Mr. Keesing.
