From the Diary of Anne Frank Summary Class 10 English First Flight Prose Chapter 4

Summary of From the Diary of Anne Frank Class 10 English First Flight ProseĀ Chapter 4

CBSE Class 10 English First Flight Chapter 4 Summary

From the Diary of Anne Frank: A thirteen-year-old schoolgirl, Anne Frank was under some depression and despair. She thought of the saying, “Paper has more patience than people.” Then she started writing a diary but she was in need of a real friend and who could be more than a diary.

The writer explains that no one believed that the girl was alone in the world because she was not alone. She had her loving parents, a sister and thirty other people. She had a decent family except her one true friend. With friends, one can have a good time. We can talk of ordinary things every day but we won’t get closer. Even we cannot confide in one another. Since the written facts cannot be changed, the writer started writing the diary. That was her everlasting friend. She called that friend ‘Kitty’.

Anne wrote that her father was the most adorable person. At the age of thirty-six, he got married to Anne’s mother, Edith. In 1926, her sister Margot was born. Then she was born on 12th June 1929. Then they lived in Germany. In 1933, her father emigrated to Holland. She along with Margot, went to Aachen to stay with their grandmother. By December both the sisters went to Holland. There she started studying at the Montessori Nursery School. When she was in sixth class, Mrs. Kuperus was her headmistress. At the end of the year, there was a farewell function. The separation from the headmistress was full of tears. Anne loved her grandmother very much. She fell ill in the summer of 1941. She had an operation but she died in January 1942. Her death was all the more troublesome. At Anne’s birthday celebrations, a separate candle was lit for the grandmother. In her diary, Anne wrote that all four members were doing well. She was much dedicated to her diary. This event was written by Anne on 20th June 1942 on Saturday.

In her diary, Anne made a mention of her school-experience. The complete class was nervous about going to the next form. Some of the students had made bets and staked all their savings. Regarding her, they were declared ‘Pass’ but Anne was not sure of maths. All had been telling one another not to lose heart.

There were nine teachers. Mr. Keesing taught Maths. He remained annoyed with Anne because of her talkative nature. So, he had given her some extra work to write an essay on ‘A Chatter Box’.

After the homework, Anne started thinking on the essay. An idea flashed in her mind. She wrote “Talking is a student’s trait and I would do my best to control it. But I won’t be able to cure this habit since my mother is also talkative. So moving from the inherited trait cannot be done.” Hearing her arguments, Mr. Keesing had a good laugh.

Then the teacher gave her another essay. ‘An Incorrigible Chatter Box’. Thus, passed two lessons. During the third lesson, he asked her to write on “Quack, Quack, Quack, said Mistress Chatter Box.” It was a sort of punishment for Anne for talking in class. At this topic, the whole class roared. Anne too laughed. Though Anne tried for this essay but her friend Sanne became ready to help her. In a way the teacher was playing a joke on her but in other words it was a joke on him. So Anne wrote this essay like a poem. Anne read the poem in the class. It stated, “There was a mother duck and a father Swan with three ducklings. The ducklings were beaten to death by the father since they quacked too much”. It was Anne’s good luck that the teacher took it in the right way. He read the poem, gave his own comments. After that Anne was allowed to talk and no extra work was given. Since then, Mr. Keesing too started making jokes.
