Anne matures and develops through the course of the diary in many ways. In the beginning she behaved in a spoiled manor. She barely helped do any work, argued with her mother, and she thought every boy liked her. During her time in hiding she started to do work like cleaning and preparing food, she became less argumentative, less talkative and did not joke about everything.
