My favorite book that I read this quarter was Of Mice and Men. This was my favorite book that I read this quarter because friendship was shown dramatically throughout the book. I liked seeing how dedicated George and Lennie were to each other. I also feel like it teaches people a good life lesson on friendship.
Since the new year I have been reading more. I typically don’t really like to read, but I have found a interest in my book so I have been more motivated to read. I am reading Anne Frank the Diary of a Young Girl it is about what her and her family’s life was like during WWII. I haven’t finished reading yet, but I am excited to continue reading.
My biggest improvement from quarter two was my essay, because I have previously written essays but with not as many body paragraphs. I really liked the way my essay came out, and I think it flowed really well.
Some strategy that benefited me was having friends to help motivate me to finish. I have also been focusing and paying attention more. Another strategy that I have used is just being motivated by the work. Recently we read short articles about different topics and I really enjoyed reading those. It made me more motivated to keep reading them.

‘Anne Frank the Diary of a Young Girl’
So far in the book Anne Frank the Diary of a Young Girl, Anne and her family have had to move from their house into a office building. In the office they currently live with a few other families, and are debating letting two more people stay. They had to move out of their house because Anne’s sister Margot was sent a letter,”...Margot told me that the call-up was not for Daddy, but for her” (Anne Frank 14). Anne’s parents decided that Margot should not go. Soon after they moved into the office building to hide. If there was ever a knock on the door they did not know whether to answer it or hide.
So far throughout the story Anne Frank expresses much about herself. She shares he feelings, emotions, and thoughts. But, it makes me wonder did she ever feel afraid that someone might find her diary? In her diary she talks about what the office looks like and she mentions where their hiding spot is, “The right-hand door leads to our “Secret Annexe.” No one would ever guess that there would be so many rooms hidden behind that plain gray door. There’s a little step in front of the door and then you are inside” (Anne Frank 18). If someone was looking for Jews to take away this could have affected everyone in the building because they would know exactly where to find them.
As I was reading I learned some interesting facts that made me wonder a bit. One fact that I learned about was his Anne, her family, and all the other families lived in a dark office building. While they were in the building they couldn’t be loud or make much noise because they didn’t want to be noticed. Anne and Margot were at the door when, “Each time the bell went, Margot or I had to creep softly down to see if it was Daddy, not opening the door to anyone else” (Anne Frank 14). I think this mainly affected Anne and her sister, Margot, because they are still at a young age where they want to have fun and be loud. But, they are unfortunately not able to do so. If they do get noticed they would most likely be taken away to a concentration camp.
