The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank

          Currently, I am reading The Diary of a Young as you might of read from the title and my previous blog post. Well, now I am close to being mid-way and I am puzzled about one thing. Anne keeps mentioning that she wants to mature faster or go through puberty sooner. For instance in this quote, you''l understand what I am trying to convay or state. "I forgot to mention the important news that I'm probably going to have my period soon. I can hardly wait. It such an momentous event."
           Now in the book Anne also mentions that she is having many conflicts with her mother and she is not too keen about her as she says in this entry. "I'm the opposite of Mother so of course we clash. I don't mean to judge her; I dont have that right. I 'm simply looking at her as a mother. She's not a mother to me- I have to mother myself." My question is Anne talks about maturing and becoming older and is excited for it. Does she feel this way because she wants to stand up to her mother more? Does she feel that being older allows her to speak her mind?
          So far I am enjoying this book. I'm interested to read the end. Maybe my question will be answered soon.
