Read the excerpt from the diary of a young girl. father, mother and margot still can't get used to the chiming of the westertoren clock, which tells us the time every quarter of an hour. not me, i liked it from the start; it sounds so reassuring, especially at night. based on this excerpt, which best describes anne’s perspective regarding the sound of the clock? it is startling. it is beautiful. it is comforting. it is annoying.
