This was a huge change in their environment since they had to live in a cramped house with another family that they could not leave. In both situations, the positive attitudes of each girl helped them to adjust to seeing unfortunate changes in their environment. First of all, in Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl, Anne did several things to stay positive. She began by keeping a diary, which she named Kitty, and wrote in it as if she were writing to a friend. Next, after her family went into hiding, she kept a positive attitude about her new living quarters. This can be seen in her July 11, 1942, entry where she writes "I don't think I'll ever feel at home in this house, but that doesn't mean I hate it. It's more like being on vacation." Finally, Anne …show more content…

In chapter 16, Malala continued her education by signing up for the same class as her cousin.

During her time in hiding Anne Frank used a positive attitude to make the time she spent in hiding much more enjoyable for her, and those around her. In The Diary of Anne Frank, Anne Frank states, “The Annex is an ideal place to hide in. It may be damp and lopsided, but there's probably not a more comfortable hiding place in all of Amsterdam.
