In "The Diary of a Young Girl" by Anne Frank, the plot symbol I would choose is the diary itself, representing the exposition. The diary serves as the initial entry point for readers, providing essential background information about Anne’s life before she goes into hiding. In her early entries, she introduces her family, the context of World War II, and her dreams and aspirations, such as her desire to become a famous writer (Frank, 1942). This exposition is critical as it sets the stage for understanding the emotional turmoil and challenges she faces later in the story as she describes her experiences in the Secret Annex.
