In the diary entry 2 January, 1944 Anne showed a couple signs of maturing. One of the signs is when she went back and realized how bad she was talking about her mother. Another sign is when Anne admitted that she was being mean and writing horrible things down about her mother. The last thing that shows that she is maturing is when she wished she had not said these things and she thinks she is a horrible person for what she did. First, she went back and read through her diary and she realized how bad she was talking about her mother. She says that when she was going back and reading it she wished she would have not wrote these things and that her mom is a good mom. She also says, “ I use to be furious with mummy, and still am sometimes.”
