Answer 1

Answer:

Annie Frank developed from a shy and lonely teenager into a lively, confident person as a result of her discussion and subsequent relationship with Peter Van Daan

Explanation:

Annie Frank was a lonely Jewish teenager who was hiding with her family in a secret attic from the Germans in Holland during World War 2.

On her thirteenth birthday shortly before World War 2 in 1942, her parents bought her a diary as a birthday gift. The diary which she named Kitty, became Annie's best friend and confidant where she chronicled the daily events in her life as well as her secrets.  

As the war progressed, more Jewish families came to join the Franks in hiding in the attic. Annie was therefore forced to share her tiny room with another person - Peter Van Daan.

As time progressed, she and Peter started talking and she became friendly and comfortable with him even to the point of discussing personal and intimate  matters.

Hence we see how as the story of her life unfolds, the innocent, shy, lonely character called Annie Frank transformed into a lively, confident person as a result of her relationship with Peter
