Learning Activity 5
Directions: Read and analyze the organization and tone of the diary entry of Anne
Frank. Then, answer the questions.

1. Comment on the way the diary entry was organized. How is this diary entry the same or
different from another piece of writing such as explanation essay?

- The diary entry is organized in a free-flowing, stream-of-consciousness style, with Anne Frank
writing about her thoughts and feelings in a chronological manner. There is no clear
introduction, body, or conclusion, and the entry does not follow a specific structure or format.
This differs from an explanation essay, which typically has a clear introduction, thesis
statement, body paragraphs with supporting evidence, and a conclusion. An explanation essay is
usually structured in a logical and organized manner to convey information to the reader.

2. Comment on the tone of the diary entry. How is it different from the tone used in explanation
essay?

- The tone of the diary entry is personal, emotional, and subjective. Anne Frank writes about
her own experiences and feelings, using words such as "terrible," "heartrending," and
"dismal." Her tone is also reflective and introspective, as she contemplates the fate of the
Jewish people and her own identity as a German-born Jew. This differs from the tone used
in an explanation essay, which is usually more objective, factual, and impersonal. An
explanation essay strives to convey information to the reader in a clear and concise manner,
without personal bias or emotion.
