The right page features a large black and white photograph of the same young girl sitting at a table, writing, with a plant in the background.

- Transcription
-
We know how her story ends - well sort of. But we have to always remember that she is eternal.
She never died. She was able to channel the experience through her writer's mind. And the diary was preserved - though her body was not. But her spirit? Oh. My.
Anne Frank. My takeaways. So far. I haven’t finished the diary.
@ She was a teenager. 13, 14, 15. In teenager ways, she was typical. Ensnared in boy/girl drama. Girl/girl drama.
@ Teenager brattiness + Parents. She said she didn’t love her mother. - Rights
