Author's Purpose

Author's Purpose

    Anne Frank's purpose of writing this book is to share what was happening during the war. When World War II was close to a end there was an announcement, about if anyone has written anything during the war to please give it to someone in London. It saids that the  person "specifically mentioned letters and diaries". Also in the book it says, " Impressed by this speech, Anne Frank decided that when the war was over she would publish a book based on her diary. She began rewriting and editing her diary,". She also omitted and added new things. This is the reason why she has two versions of her diary, a unedited(A) and a edited(B). The book I am reading is edited(B).
    Anne Frank is very generous for wanting to publish her diary. Especially since,  most people don't like to share their diary because it has a lot of person things in it. Anne is also very smart because she edited her diary so it can be given away after the war.
