What’s Up With the Epigraph?

"I hope I will be able to confide everything in you, as I have never been able to confide in anyone, and I hope you will be a great source of comfort and support."

This epigraph is pretty basic. This is what Anne Frank wrote at the beginning of her diary on her thirteenth birthday. Anne felt a bit lonely and in need of a true friend, so she decided to use her diary as a friend. She named her diary Kitty.
