A autobiography this week, but not just one by a random famous artist. This week I was ready for Anne Frank's famous diary called Het Achterhuis. And even though it hurts me to say, I really wasn't interested in the slightest.... The only part that really got to me was the last page and the short summary of what happened after they were discovered, which wasn't written by her of course.
I probably need to explain what I'm talking about. Anne Frank is a German/Dutch Jewish girl who hid with her family in a house between her father's office during World War II. Her farther's old colleagues kept them safe and made sure they had supplies. She kept a diary because she wanted to become a journalist and this was supposed to be her first publication. And her farther (who is the only one of the people in hiding who survived the war) made sure it was published after they were discovered and taken away by SS to be killed
In this diary the 12-year-old Anne writes about everything that happens in the house all the minor clashes between the eight people who are forced to live together in a confined space for more than 2 years. Everything she writes about is not that interesting. It's basically just an observation of social interaction by a teenager. The sad thing is, though, is that she never had the chance to develop into an intelligent young woman.
