Question
Why does Anne need to give a brief sketch about her family? Does she treat ‘Kitty’ as an insider or an outsider?
Advertisements
Solution 1
Anne gave a brief sketch of her life since no one would understand a word of her stories to her diary if she were to plunge right in. She, therefore, wrote a brief sketch of her life, even though she disliked doing so. She treated Kitty as an insider because she called it her best friend and was ready to confide in it.
Solution 2
Since it was difficult to convince others that a 13-year-old teenager could write about loneliness, Anne introduced her family in the 'diary'. Kitty's parents gave her an 'outsider' for her thirteenth birthday, but she treated it like an insider and thought of it as her best friend.
