From the Diary of Anne Frank

From the given definitions:
- Journal = a book with a separate space or page for each day, where you write thoughts and feelings or events of that day.
- Log = a written record of events with times and dates, usually official.
- Memoir(s) = a record of a person's own life and experiences.
- Diary = a full record of a journey, period of time, or event, written every day.

So the matches are:
1. Journal
2. Log
3. Memoir(s)
4. Diary

Using the given meanings:
- Diary: personal thoughts and feelings about events of the day → (i)
- Log: official record of events with times and dates → (ii)
- Journal: record of a journey or period, written daily → (iii)
- Memoir: record of a person's life and experiences → (iv)

Anne says diary-writing feels strange to her for two reasons: she has never written anything before, and she thinks that no one, not even herself later, will be interested in the musings of a thirteen-year-old schoolgirl. That is why the experience seems unusual to her.

Anne says that she has loving parents, a sister and many friends, but still she does not have one true friend with whom she can confide. She therefore starts the diary so she can write freely, express her feelings, and get all kinds of things off her chest.

Anne feels that paper has more patience than people. A diary will listen quietly, will not criticise her, and will keep her secrets. So she thinks she can tell her diary personal things more freely than she can tell people.

Since she says that no one would understand a word if she plunged straight into her stories, Anne gives a short account of her family and schooling first. This helps introduce her background before the diary proper begins.

Anne’s love for her grandmother is shown by the lines that she still thinks of her and still loves her. She also says that on her birthday, her grandmother's candle was lit along with the others, which shows deep affection and remembrance.

Mr Keesing was irritated because Anne talked so much in class. After several warnings, he punished her by giving her an essay to write on 'A Chatterbox'.

In her essay, Anne argues that talking is a student's trait. She says she would do her best to keep it under control, but she could not fully stop it because her mother talked as much as she did, so it must be an inherited trait.

Mr Keesing seems firm, but not harshly strict. He gave Anne extra essays as punishment, yet he had a good laugh at her answers and later took her poem in the right spirit. So he was strict enough to discipline her, but also understanding and playful.

Anne’s poem was witty and original. Mr Keesing appreciated the joke, read the poem to the class and even to other classes, and from then on he allowed her to talk and gave her no more extra homework.

Anne thought her writing might interest no one, but history proved otherwise. Her diary became a famous and widely read book, and readers around the world valued it because it gives a personal view of life during Nazi occupation. So her thoughts were indeed of great interest.
