Anne said: "I must become good through my own efforts, Without examples and without good advise." What do you think she means by this, Or how would that apply in today's world? I think she means that she has to try to become good without anyone telling her or helping her be good. She doesn't want anyone to give her any advise on how to be good. She is also saying people cant change people. The only thing that can change a person is themselves.
