Solution
Kitty was a trusted friend to Anne.
- Allowed her to express her thoughts and feelings freely without fear of rejection.
- Provided her with a space to confide in and unburden herself to, serving as a form of therapy for her loneliness and isolation.
- It couldn't talk back but the act of writing and personifying the diary as a friend gave Anne a sense of comfort and companionship, providing her with an outlet to process her emotions and cope with her challenges.
- Gave her a sense of privacy and security - she felt that she could write down her innermost thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement or ridicule, as she might have experienced if she shared them with others.
