Question

Why does Anne Frank think that paper has more patience than people?

Hint:

In literature questions, always highlight both the emotional reason (loneliness, inner conflict) and the symbolic meaning (diary as patient listener).

Answer 1

Anne Frank believed that paper has more patience than people because she felt lonely and misunderstood in her life. Although she had family and friends, she could not openly share her deep thoughts and emotions with anyone. She realized that when she spoke to people, they often did not listen carefully or truly understand her feelings. People were quick to interrupt, judge, or lose interest.
On the other hand, paper never interrupted, judged, or got tired of listening. She could freely write all her thoughts, emotions, and secrets in her diary without fear. Paper gave her complete freedom of expression and silently absorbed her joys, sorrows, and frustrations. This is why she trusted paper more than people.
Her diary, “Kitty,” became her closest companion, allowing her to express herself fully and honestly. Thus, Anne Frank concluded that paper had more patience than people, because it listened endlessly without complaint.
