Question

In her November 8, 1943 entry, Anne writes about the “cowardice, which confronts me at every turn.” Cite evidence from the diary that explains why she believes she is a coward.

Answer 1

"when Bep was still here, the doorbell rang long and loud. I instantly turned white, my stomach churned, and my heart beat wildly -- and all because I was afraid. At night in bed I see myself alone in a dungeon, without Father and Mother. Or I'm roaming the streets, or the Annex is on fire, or they come in the middle of the night to takeus away and I crawl under my bed in desperation. I see everything as if it were actually taking place." - part of Anne Frank's November 8, 1943 diary entry.

Because of her fear, she has experienced depression while writing this passage. She did not share her fears with others and only in her diary was she able to pour out her emotions.
