Answer:
Stage directions are the director's visualization of what should happen in the stage.
Explanation:
Stage directions let the actors or the readers know where they should be on stage. There are specific directions such as center stage, downstage left, upstage right, etc. Stage directions can also help in setting the emotional tone, rhythm, and mood of the play for the audience to capture the message and/or meta-message of the play. For the actor/reader, the stage directions can also help him/her in determining subtexts of his/her dialogues.
In the example given, the reader knows <u><em>what ANNIE should do</em></u> (i.e., turns, gazing around at the stripped room, bidding it silently farewell) or <u><em>what emotions need to convey</em></u> (i.e., impassively, like a defeated general on the deserted battlefield.).
When you combine both the actions and the emotions essential for the play, a powerful message or a metaphor will be delivered (i.e., All that remains is a stand with a basin of water) that will have a significant impact on the audience.

WYSIWYG = What You See Is What You Get
Little Man takes the book back to his desk, but when he opens it, sees something inside it that makes him throw it on the floor and stomp on it.
Cassie looks inside her book and sees columns listing the book's condition and the race of the student for every year from 1922-1933. This is the first year that the book's condition is listed as "very poor" and the first time that the race of the student is listed as "nigra" instead of "white."
As Miss Crocker is about to take the switch to Little Man, Cassie explains that her brother can already read and shows the teacher why he was angry.
Miss Crocker tells Cassie that the books says "nigra" because that's what she is and orders her to sit down. Cassie tells Miss Crocker she doesn't want her book either. Miss Crocker takes the switch to both Little Man and Cassie.
