what is your impression of Peter
Answers
The only son of Mr. and Mrs. Van Daan. He is almost sixteen when he comes to live in the annex. Shy, awkward, and introspective, he does not pique Anne's attention until they have been living in the annex for almost two years. Then they begin a deep friendship that leads to some physical intimacy. Anne is at first head over heels in love with him, then she realizes that, although he is a nice young man, he is weak-minded and lacks character. He disappears on a forced march with the German army.
Answer:
Peter was a shy and awkward boy of 16 years. He
was the only son of the Van Daans. He was greatly
disappointed with his parents. He was full of
frustration because of their fights all the time. He
felt very lonely and miserable. He was emotionally
weak. It is said that maturity comes with age, but
in his case, age seemed to have come alone. He
was younger than his age and did not have the
courage of a man. He dared not take any risk or
pursue an unchosen path. He was not willing to
take any challenge. These traits in his personality
disappointed Anne. She felt that she should limit
her relations with Peter.
