Question

Read the excerpt from The Diary of a Young Girl. I don't fit in with them, and I've felt that clearly in the last few weeks. They're so sentimental together, but I'd rather be sentimental on my own. They're always saying how nice it is with the four of us, and that we get along so well, without giving a moment's thought to the fact that I don't feel that way.

Explanation:

"The Diary of a Young Girl" is also known as "The Diary of Anne Frank". Written by Anne, who was hiding from the Nazis with her family, this journal has become the most famous memoir about the Holocaust. In this particular excerpt, we see how Anne feels different from her family and, for that reason, misunderstood. She does not have the same emotional needs as they do or, at least, does not express them the same way. However, they cannot see or understand that, which makes Anne feel different, as if she does not fit in with them.
