From the Diary of Anne Frank 

Paragraph 1

WRITING in a diary is a really strange experience for someone like me. Not only because I’ve never written anything before, but also because it seems to me that later on neither I nor anyone else will be interested in the musings of a thirteen-year-old schoolgirl. Oh well, it doesn’t matter. I feel like writing, and I have an even greater need to get all kinds of things off my chest.

Word	English Meaning	Telugu Meaning
Musings	Thoughts, reflections	ఆలోచనలు, పరిగణనలు

Paragraph 2

‘Paper has more patience than people.’ I thought of this saying on one of those days when I was feeling a little depressed and was sitting at home with my chin in my hands, bored and listless, wondering whether to stay in or go out. I finally stayed where I was, brooding: Yes, paper does have more patience, and since I’m not planning to let anyone else read this stiff-backed notebook grandly referred to as a ‘diary’, unless I should ever find a real friend, it probably won’t make a bit of difference. Now I’m back to the point that prompted me to keep a diary in the first place: I don’t have a friend.

Word	English Meaning	Telugu Meaning
Listless	Without energy or interest	ఉత్సాహం లేని
Brooding	Deep thinking (usually sadness)	మౌనంగా చింతించటం
Prompted	Caused, encouraged	ప్రేరేపించబడింది

Paragraph 3

Let me put it more clearly, since no one will believe that a thirteen-year-old girl is completely alone in the world. And I’m not. I have loving parents and a sixteen-year-old sister, and there are about thirty people I can call friends. I have a family, loving aunts and a good home. No, on the surface I seem to have everything, except my one true friend. All I think about when I’m with friends is having a good time. I can’t bring myself to talk about anything but ordinary everyday things. We don’t seem to be able to get any closer, and that’s the problem. Maybe it’s my fault that we don’t confide in each other. In any case, that’s just how things are, and unfortunately, they’re not liable to change. This is why I’ve started the diary.

Word	English Meaning	Telugu Meaning
Confide	Share secrets/trust	నమ్మకంగా చెప్పడం
Liable	Likely	అవకాశమున్న

Paragraph 4

To enhance the image of this long-awaited friend in my imagination, I don’t want to jot down the facts in this diary the way most people would do, but I want the diary to be my friend, and I’m going to call this friend ‘Kitty’. Since no one would understand a word of my stories to Kitty if I were to plunge right in, I’d better provide a brief sketch of my life, much as I dislike doing so.

Word	English Meaning	Telugu Meaning
Enhance	Improve	మెరుగుపర్చడం
Jot	Write quickly	తక్కువగా వ్రాయడం
Plunge	Jump in quickly/suddenly	లోనికి దూకడం

Paragraph 5

My father, the most adorable father I’ve ever seen, didn’t marry my mother until he was thirty-six and she was twenty-five. My sister, Margot, was born in Frankfurt in Germany in 1926. I was born on 12 June 1929. I lived in Frankfurt until I was four. My father emigrated to Holland in 1933. My mother, Edith Hollander Frank, went with him to Holland in September, while Margot and I were sent to Aachen to stay with our grandmother. Margot went to Holland in December, and I followed in February, when I was plunked down on the table as a birthday present for Margot.

Word	English Meaning	Telugu Meaning
Adorable	Lovable, cute	ప్రేమదాయక, ముద్దుగా ఉండే
Emigrated	Moved to another country	విదేశాలకు వెళ్ళడం
Plunked	Put down suddenly/heavily	ఊహించకుండా ఉంచడం

Paragraph 6

I started right away at the Montessori nursery school. I stayed there until I was six, at which time I started in the first form. In the sixth form, my teacher was Mrs Kuperus, the headmistress. At the end of the year we were both in tears as we said a heartbreaking farewell. In the summer of 1941 Grandma fell ill and had to have an operation, so my birthday passed with little celebration.

Word	English Meaning	Telugu Meaning
Farewell	Act of saying goodbye	వీడ్కోలు

Paragraph 7

Grandma died in January 1942. No one knows how often I think of her and still love her. This birthday celebration in 1942 was intended to make up for the other, and Grandma’s candle was lit along with the rest. The four of us are still doing well, and that brings me to the present date of 20 June 1942, and the solemn dedication of my diary.

Word	English Meaning	Telugu Meaning
Intended	Planned	ఉద్దేశించబడిన
Solemn	Serious, sincere	గంభీరమైన, ప్రామాణికమైన
Dedication	Commitment, devotion	నిబద్ధత

Paragraph 8

Our entire class is quaking in its boots. The reason, of course, is the forthcoming meeting in which the teachers decide who’ll move up to the next form and who’ll be kept back. Half the class is making bets. G.N. and I laugh ourselves silly at the two boys behind us, C.N. and Jacques, who have staked their entire holiday savings on their bet. From morning to night, it’s “You’re going to pass”, “No, I’m not”, “Yes, you are”, “No, I’m not”. Even G.’s pleading glances and my angry outbursts can’t calm them down. If you ask me, there are so many dummies that about a quarter of the class should be kept back, but teachers are the most unpredictable creatures on earth.

Word	English Meaning	Telugu Meaning
Quaking	Trembling, shaking	వణకడం, కంపించటం
Staked	Bet, risked	అడిగిపెట్టడం

Dummies	People who are not clever	మూఢులు
Unpredictable	Cannot be guessed, changeable	ఊహించలేని

Paragraph 9

I’m not so worried about my girlfriends and myself. We’ll make it. The only subject I’m not sure about is maths. Anyway, all we can do is wait. Until then, we keep telling each other not to lose heart.

Phrase	English Meaning	Telugu Meaning
Not to lose heart	To not give up hope	మనోద్ధెస్యం కోల్పోవద్దు

Paragraph 10

I get along pretty well with all my teachers. There are nine of them, seven men and two women. Mr Keesing, the old fogey who teaches maths, was annoyed with me for ages because I talked so much. After several warnings, he assigned me extra homework. An essay on the subject, ‘A Chatterbox’. A chatterbox — what can you write about that? I’d worry about that later, I decided. I jotted down the title in my notebook, tucked it in my bag and tried to keep quiet.

Word	English Meaning	Telugu Meaning
Old fogey	Old-fashioned person	పాతపంతులవాడు
Annoyed	Slightly angry	చిరాకు, అసహనం
Chatterbox	Talkative person	ఎక్కువ మాట్లాడే వ్యక్తి
Jotted	Wrote quickly	త్వరగా వ్రాయడం

Paragraph 11

For the moment, she wrote the topic in her notebook, kept it in her bag and focussed on staying quiet. That evening, after I’d finished the rest of my homework, the note about the essay caught my eye. I began thinking about the subject while chewing the tip of my fountain pen. Anyone could ramble on and leave big spaces between the words, but the trick was to come up with convincing arguments to prove the necessity of talking. I thought and thought, and suddenly I had an idea. I wrote the three pages Mr Keesing had assigned me and was satisfied. I argued that talking is a student’s trait and that I would do my best to keep it under control, but that I would never be able to cure myself of the habit since my mother talked as much as I did if not more, and that there’s not much you can do about inherited traits.

Word	English Meaning	Telugu Meaning
Ramble	Talk/write in confused way	అర్థం లేని విధంగా మాట్లాడటం
Convincing	Making someone believe	ఒప్పించదగిన
Trait	Quality, characteristic	లక్షణం
Inherited	Got from parents/genetic	వారసత్వంగా వచ్చిన

Paragraph 12

Mr Keesing had a good laugh at my arguments, but when I proceeded to talk my way through the next lesson, he assigned me a second essay. This time it was supposed to be on ‘An Incorrigible Chatterbox’. I handed it in, and Mr Keesing had nothing to complain about for two whole lessons. However, during the third lesson he’d finally had enough. “Anne Frank, as punishment for talking in class, write an essay entitled — ‘Quack, Quack, Quack, Said Mistress Chatterbox’.”

Word	English Meaning	Telugu Meaning
Proceeded	Continued, started doing	కొనసాగింది
Incorrigible	Cannot be changed or corrected	మారని, సవరించలేని
Mistress	Woman in authority/teacher	ఉపాధ్యాయురాలు

Paragraph 13

Mr Keesing had nothing to complain about for two whole lessons. However, during the third lesson he’d finally had enough. “Anne Frank, as punishment for talking in class, write an essay entitled — ‘Quack, Quack, Quack, Said Mistress Chatterbox’.”

Roared	Laughed (here)	గట్టిగా నవ్వాడు
Exhausted	Completely used up, tired	పూర్తిగా అలసిపోయిన
Ingenuity	Cleverness, originality	తెలివితేటలు

Paragraph 14

I finished my poem, and it was beautiful! It was about a mother duck and a father swan with three baby ducklings who were bitten to death by the father because they quacked too much. Luckily, Mr Keesing took the joke the right way. He read the poem to the class, adding his own comments, and to several other classes as well. Since then I’ve been allowed to talk and haven’t been assigned any extra homework. On the contrary, Mr Keesing’s always making jokes these days.

 My Diary – A Week in My Life

 Day 1 – Monday

·         Ugh! Got up late again. Missed the school bus. Mom looked disappointed. Rushed through breakfast. Maths test was awful—blanked out on formulas. Need to study harder  But at least lunch was good. Shared samosas with Riya and laughed a lot. Nice end to a rough day.

 

Day 2 – Tuesday

·         Felt sleepy all day. Couldn’t concentrate in English. But the lesson on Anne Frank was really touching. Can’t imagine living in hiding like that. Evening walk was peaceful. Sky painted in pink and orange. Beautiful . Felt calm after a noisy day.

 

Day 3 – Wednesday

·         Rainy morning. Shoes soaked. Slipped in front of the class . Everyone laughed—embarrassing!! But Sir helped me up kindly. Sometimes people surprise you. Finished homework early and watched cartoons. Comfort after chaos.

 

Day 4 – Thursday

·         Bright and sunny! Wore my favourite T-shirt . Science project partner didn’t show up. Had to manage alone. Proud of myself. Teacher appreciated my effort. Boosted my mood. Rewarded myself with chocolate. Totally worth it .

 

 Day 5 – Friday

·         Best day of the week! No tests, no scolding. Played kho-kho in PT—felt free and fast! We won! Friends cheered. Laughed till my stomach hurt . Weekend is here… finally!

 

 Day 6 – Saturday

·         Lazy morning. No alarms, no rush. Helped Amma clean the kitchen. Felt useful. Watched a movie in the afternoon—The Lion King. Almost cried during Mufasa’s death . Reminded me to love my family more.

 

 Day 7 – Sunday

·         Quiet day. Did some drawing. My tiger sketch turned out great  Showed it to Dad—he smiled. Missed my grandma today. Wrote a little poem about her. Thought of starting a “memory box”. Felt warm and sad at the same time.

3. Why are Stanzas 2, 4 and 6 given in parenthesis?

They show Amanda’s thoughts or imagination, not spoken aloud.

5. What could Amanda do if she were a mermaid?

She could float freely and silently in the sea, away from scolding.

Yes, Rapunzel lived alone in a tower.
Amanda wants to be like her because she wants peace and freedom.

8. What does the girl yearn for? What does this poem tell you about Amanda?

THINK ABOUT IT

1. Did you begin to suspect, before the end of the story, that the lady was not the person Horace Danby took her to be? If so, at what point did you realise this, and how?

Yes, the doubt arises when the lady doesn’t call the police and instead asks him to open the safe. It feels strange for a house owner to help a thief.

2. What are the subtle ways in which the lady manages to deceive Horace Danby into thinking she is the lady of the house? Why doesn’t Horace suspect that something is wrong?

She acts calm, confident, and speaks like she belongs to the house.
She also wears fine clothes, knows about the safe, and talks naturally.
Horace is nervous and doesn't doubt her because he trusts appearances and wants to avoid trouble.

3. “Horace Danby was good and respectable — but not completely honest.” Why do you think this description is apt for Horace? Why can’t he be categorised as a typical thief?

Horace is gentle, educated, and lives a normal life.
He steals only once a year, without violence, to buy books.
So, he is not a dangerous or habitual thief, just dishonest in a clever way.

4. Horace Danby was a meticulous planner but still he faltered. Where did he go wrong and why?

He trusted the woman without proof.
He failed to guess she could also be a thief.
His mistake was in believing her story blindly, which led to his arrest.

TALK ABOUT IT

1. Do you think Horace Danby was unfairly punished, or that he deserved what he got?

He deserved the punishment.
Even though he seemed harmless, stealing is still a crime. He was tricked by another thief, but that doesn’t excuse his own actions.

2. Do intentions justify actions? Would you, like Horace Danby, do something wrong if you thought your ends justified the means? Do you think that there are situations in which it is excusable to act less than honestly?

No, intentions don’t justify wrong actions.
Even if the goal is good (like buying books), doing wrong to achieve it is not right.
Sometimes people may lie or hide truth in emergencies (like saving a life), but in general, honesty is the best path.
