An incredible metaphor for a family - and essentially a group of people - swallowing themselves alive when left to their own devices, trapped for years in an attic. While both sad and sometimes depressing, Anne's story also gives inspiration and hope, as, in a sense, she still survived even after her death to this day. She spoke of wanting to be a writer, and how she wanted to touch others' lives - but wondered if anyone would find the writings of a young girl interesting, or even a story about people living in an Annex.
She still lives, it's important, it's inspiring.

With each chapter given a short philosophical question followed by a constructive, detailed response, these little bite-sized thought experiments really remind me of a modern day "Meditations" but collected as a whole by different philosophers, where you can just sit down and think about one of the answers and questions for a while.
