Summary of From the Diary of Anne Frank Class 10 First Flight

Answer

A Strange Experience: Anne Frank thinks that writing a diary is a strange experience for her. She has never written anything like this before. She feels that no one else, except her, will be interested in the musings of a thirteen-year-old schoolgirl. She writes it for herself. She wants to get all kinds of things off her chest.

Anne feels that paper has more patience than people. There was a time when she was a little depressed and sat at home. She doesn’t want anyone else, except her, to read her ‘stiff-backed’ notebook unless she finds a real friend. She keeps a diary as she doesn’t have a friend.

Anne writes that outwardly there are about 30 people whom she can call friends. She has a family, loving aunts and a good home. She has loving parents and a sixteen-year-old sister. But still, she feels all alone. She can only talk about ordinary things with them. They are not able to come closer. This is the problem. They can’t confide in each other. Maybe it is her ON, on fault. This is why she has started the diary. She wants her diary to be her friend. She calls her diary, her friend ‘Kitty’.

She calls her father, the most adorable father. He married at 36 when her mother was 25. Her sister Margot was born in 1926 while she was born on 12th June 1929. They emigrated to Holland in 1933. She got her education there. In 1942 her grandma died. Anne started writing her diary on 20th June 1942.

The entire class is shaking with fear. The teachers will decide in the next meeting who will move up and who will be kept back. She realises that at least there are about a quarter of students who are totally worthless and should be kept back. But it is difficult to predict the decision of the teachers. She is not much worried about herself and her girlfriends. She is not very sure about maths. She has good relations with her teachers. Mr Keesing, the Maths teacher is an old-fashioned teacher. He doesn’t like her because she talks too much.

The Maths teacher gives her some extra work to write an essay on ‘A Chatterbox’. She writes three pages. She argues in the essay that talking is a student’s trait. She promises to keep it under control. She feels that she will never be able to cure herself of the habit. Her mother also talked as much as she does. It is an inherited trait. Mr Keesing has a good laugh at her arguments in the essay. He assigns her a second essay on ‘An Incorrigible Chatterbox’ Finally, as punishment for talking in the class, he gives her another essay on “Quack, Quack, Quack, said Mistress Chatterbox”. The class gives a roar of laughter. Her friend, Sanne, is good at poetry. She offers to help her. Anne wants to turn the table on Mr Keesing. She finishes the poem about a mother duck and a father swan with three baby ducklings. They are bitten to death by the father because they quack too much. Mr Keesing understands the poem and its message in the right way. Since then she has been allowed to talk. She has not been assigned with any extra homework.

Answer

Anne Frank: Anne Frank was a very sensitive, sharp and mature girl of thirteen. Being a Jew, she was constantly hounded by the Nazis. She was living in terrible times. Born in Germany, she and her family had to migrate to Amsterdam to escape persecution.
She felt utterly lonely and couldn’t confide in others. She needed a true friend before whom she could open out her heart and share her innnermost feelings. She found that true friend in `Kitty’, her diary. She was very emotional. She loved her grandmother very much. She was ‘a Chatterbox’ and annoyed her maths teacher, Mr Keesing as she talked too much in the class. But her joke pleased him very much.

Mr Keesing: Mr Keesing was an old fashioned teacher of maths in Anne Frank’s school. He was rather strict with his students and didn’t allow much talking in the class. Ultimately, he assigned Anne to write an essay on ‘A Chatterbox’. The essay gave the right message to Mr Keesing. By chance, the joke fell on him. He was a transformed man now. He allowed Anne talking and never assigned her any extra homework again.

Answer

यह पाठ ऐनी फ्रैंक की डायरी का भाग है । यहाँ वह हमें अपने जीवन के प्रारंभिक भाग के बारे में बताती है । वह कहती है कि उसने डायरी लिखना इसलिए आरंभ किया , क्योंकि उसका कोई मित्र नहीं था । ऐनी का जन्म 12 जून, 1929 को हुआ। उसकी एक बहन थी जो उससे तीन साल बड़ी थी वह चार साल की उम्र तक फ्रैंकफर्ट में रही । उसका पिता 1933 में हॉलैंडचला गया ।

ऐनी फ्रैंक को मांन्टैसरी स्कूल भेजा गया । और वह वहाँ छह साल की उम्र तक रही । उसने पहली कक्षा से पढ़ाई आरंभ की ।

जब ऐनी छठी कक्षा में थी तो मुख्याध्यापिका श्रीमती क्यूरस उसकी शिक्षिका थी । दोनों को एक-दूसरे से बहुत प्यार था ।

ऐसा कोई नहीं था जिसे ऐनी अपने दिल की भावनाएँ बता सकती । इसलिए उसने अपनी डायरी को अपना मित्र बनाने का फैसला किया । उसने इसका नाम “किट्टी” रखा । शनिवार 20 जून, 1942 को ऐनी फ्रैंक ने डायरी में पहली प्रविष्टि की । वह एक पत्र के रूप में थी और उसकी डायरी ‘लिट्टी’ के नाम थी । ऐनी अपने गणित के अध्यापक श्री कीसिंग के साथ हुए अपने अनुभवों का वर्णन करती है ।

ऐनी लिखती है कि एक दिन श्री कीसिंग ने उसे कक्षा में बाते करने कि लिए सजा दी। उसने उसे अतिरिक्त गृहकार्य दिया ।

उसने उसे ‘बातूनी लड़की’ पर प्रस्ताव लिखने को कहा । ऐनी ने इसे लिखा मगर वह फिर कक्षा में बोली । अब श्री कीसिंग ने उसे लिखने ‘एक न सुधरने वाली बातूनी लड़की’ पर प्रस्ताव लिखने को कहा । श्री कीसिंग को ऐनी द्वारा लिखे गए प्रस्ताव पसंद आए । 

मगर ऐनी कक्षा में बातें करने की आदत को नहीं छोड़ सकी । इसलिए सज़ा के तौर पर ,श्री कीसिंग ने उसे एक असाधारण विषय पर प्रस्ताव लिखने को कहा, “क्वैक,क्वैक,क्वैक” कुमारी बातूनी ने कहा ।”ऐनी ने यह प्रस्ताव कविता के रूप में लिखा । यह एक बत्तख माता और पिता हंस के बारे में था । पिता ने बत्तख बच्चों को काटकर मार डाला क्योंकि वह बहुत अधिक बोलते थे । वह श्री कीसिंग पर व्यंग्य था । मगर उन्होंने मज़ाक को सही रूप में लिया । उसने कविता को ऐनी की कक्षा तथा अन्य कक्षाओं में भी पढ़कर सुनाया । उसने ऐनी को कक्षा में बोलने की अनुमति दी और उसके बाद कभी भी उसे अतिरिक्त गृह –कार्य नहीं दिया।
