I have been reading the anne-frank book, i reached Tuesday, 20 October-29 October, 1942 (p.41-43) and i cannot find the answer to this question, please help.
The only evidence I find in the section you've cited can be found below. I do not, however, see anything regarding "wishes" in this section.
Father wants me to start reading books by Hebbel and other well-known German writers. I can read German fairly well by now, except that I usually mumble the words instead of reading them silently to myself. But that'll pass. Father has taken the plays of Goethe and Schiller down from the big bookcase and is planning to read to me every evening. We've started off with Don Carlos. Encouraged by Father's good example, Mother pressed her prayer book into my hands. I read a few prayers in German, just to be polite. They certainly sound beautiful, but they mean very little to me. Why is she making me act so religious and devout?
