Notes two or three observations about how Anne has changed.

Explains why these changes are important.

Uses specific examples and evidence from the text to qualify your views.

I was so surprised when Anne admitted that she and her family were partially to blame for the disagreements with the Van Daans. It's shocking to me because I don't think that, in 1942, Anne was able to maturely reflect on her role in causing discord; however, in this entry dated January 22, 1944, she says, "It could have been quite different if we'd remain perfectly open and friendly, and not always only on the lookout for something to seize on." This entry reveals Anne's growing maturity. The war and situation is forcing her to grow up quickly.

It seems that Anna is forced to grow up because of the context she is leaving in. She might not fully understand what is going on in depth however, she knows that something is wrong, that she might be scared and enjoy life day by day. It is not possible to see her with nowadays eyes, because of the social context and the situations she might have to deal with. She might be quite aware of her role within her family and people around her.
