Answer 1

In "The Diary of a Young Girl," Anne Frank expresses her reason for starting a diary as a need for companionship and a way to voice her thoughts and feelings. She feels isolated and believes that writing will allow her to share her experiences, frustrations, and aspirations. Anne refers to her diary as "Kitty," and this personification demonstrates her desire for someone to confide in, highlighting her loneliness during the time of hiding from the Nazis. Writing becomes a means of self-expression and a source of comfort for her during a difficult period in her life.
