Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl Summary | June 14, 1942 - June 15, 1942 Summary

It is Anne's thirteenth birthday. She writes that she woke up at six o'clock because she was excited, but since she couldn't get out of bed so early, she had to wait for about an hour to open her gifts. The first present she received was the diary she is now writing in. She calls this the nicest gift of all. Anne also received flowers, a game, candy, a puzzle, some books, money and a brooch. Later at school, she writes that she gave everyone sweet biscuits. She ends this entry by saying that she and her new diary are going to be great friends.

Two days later, Anne recounts her birthday party, held the day before. She and her guests watched a Rin-Tin-Tin film that everyone greatly enjoyed. She says her friends had a lovely time. Anne then talks about her mother. She writes that her mother always wants to know who she will marry. She doesn't tell her that it's Peter Wessel. Anne goes on to say that Lies Goosens and Sanne Houtman have been her best friends for years. More recently, she has started to spend time with Jopie de Waal at the Jewish Secondary School. She thinks Jopie is now her best friend because Lies is more friendly with another girl now and Sanne goes to a different school.
