According to Frank, war is more difficult for children than for adults, because children are still trying to find themselves.
Explanation:
In "Anne Frank's Diary", Frank reveals how life in a war period is more difficult for children than for adults. According to her, the adults already have their personality formed and already have their profiles defined, the children do not. Children are still trying to find themselves and it is difficult to find oneself at a time when the worst of the human race is revealed and when one loses faith in God and in the goodness of people. Because all that children can experience in war is misery, violence and destruction.
Her reaction is surprise. Imagining that she is not wanted. What make Marilla nervous is that Anne's silence means she might do something bad. She likes to give names because it makes them interesting.
