Book Review: The Diary of a Young Girl Narrator The autobiography is told in a first person point of view. The narrator, Anne Frank, describes her experience as Jewish teenage girl living in German-occupied Holland during World War II.

The narration is written in a way that allows you to get really in depth of Anne’s life, and really get to know her in a personal level.

They had to mature into a woman in very unusual circumstances and used writing as a form of comfort. Becoming a woman happens in every girl’s life through puberty, but for Anne and Liesel it happens in very unusual circumstances.
