Reading "diary"

Where do you express your deepest self? Well one of the answer would be in a “Diary”. Writing diary is something like you are keeping track on your stuff, expressing your inner most thought…and extra. The audience of a diary is none other than the diarist simply because it is very much personal. BUT for a little change…try to read someone’s diary! It is interesting…you can really know a lot of things about the diarist through his of her diary entries. Recently in class, we discussed Andy Warhol’s diary entries. Only after the discussion and much input from my lecturer, I gained some insight about the significant of reading a diary. The example given was Virginia Woolfs diary entries whereby she talks about her struggle to write. Reading a diary actually creates a particular effect on the reader. I could see this, in the movie The Freedom Writer too. The teacher, Erin encourages / made her students to read the diary of Anne Frank to expose them the personal suffering that she went through which can be a boost to her students. Thus reading famous’ / important people’s diaries do give you and impact! Now I am in the process of reading Virginia Woolfs diary…
