Dear Diary,
When Anne's dad tells her to remember "There are no walls, there are no bolts, no locks that anyone could put on your mind" it reminds me of something my mom or dad would say. Something like "The mind is a powerful tool."In times where I'd be so bored, like during a black-out, my siblings and I would make up stories to pass the time. Some of them were so ridiculous, yet so creative, imaginative. Some stories were so funny my sides would hurt from laughing so hard, and others were so frightening I thought a monster would drag me by my feet into the darkness. Remembering those times makes me agree with the statement Mr.Frank made to his daughter, Anne.Looking at the Frank's situation, the Nazis had taken their freedom, and their rights and "locked them in a room bolted shut". Their imagination was the only thing the Nazis couldnt take from them. 
Within the mind are countless doors of possibilities. Its just up to the person to unlock it. Structures like the Ancient Pyramids and the Great Wall, even Disney World boggle the minds of countless people all over the world. "How could they imagine such magnificence of this great size!" The idea for literary works like Alice in Wonderland and The Chronicles of Narnia, and Harry Potter were conceived in the mind of just one person. Just one person made those plots so thick and intriguing to readers worldwide. I very much do agree with Mr. Frank's statement. Nothing can bind something as languid as the mind. Love,
Aaleah
