Anne titled the chapter as " Ode to My fountain Pen, In memoriam" and the pen symbolizes the abrupt and end of Anne's budding writing career.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the November 11, 1943 entry, Anne describes the loss of her fountain. She was holding it, and suddenly dropped it into the oven. She titled the chapter " Ode to My fountain Pen, In Memoriam". The playful tone becomes tragically ironic since we know that Anne met a similar fate. unquestionably as she's writing, Anne knows that his fate possibly awaits her. She's heard the rumors. But there's no hint from her letters that she understands the possibly symbolic implications of the burnt up pen.

She loved her pen. She got it when she was nine years old, and had been writing it for almost five years. In addition to horribly foreshading Anne's own fate and the fate of some six million jews, The pen's destruction cruely symbolizes the abrupt and untimely end of Anne's budding writing career.
