From the Diary 
Writing in a diary is a really strange experience for someone like me. Not only because I have never written anything before, but also because it seems to me that later on neither I nor anyone else will be interested in the musing of a thirteen year old school girl. Oh well, it doesn't matter. I feel like writing and I have an even greater need to get all kind of things off my chest. 'Paper has more patience than people.' I thought of this saying on one of those days when I was feeling a little depressed and was sitting at home with my chin in my hands, bored and listless, wondering whether to stay in or go out. a. To whom does 'I' refer in the given passage? b. 'Paper has more patience than people' - Why did Anne Frank say that? c. Find a word in the passage that means 'deep thought'.
a. ‘I’ refer to Anne Frank.
b. Anne says so as she felt that the paper is more patient as she could express her thoughts without being judged or interfered.
c. The word is ‘musing’.
