Question

 Re-read Annie’s description of the start of her last day in her parents’ home (lines 95-131. What inferences can you draw about Annie’s parents, especially her mother? Support your inferences with textual evidence.

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

Annie's parents were excited about her going to London, especially her mom.

In lines 99-101, Annie says, “When I got up, my mother greeted me with a big, bright “Good morning”—so big and bright that I shrank before it.” This shows the audience how excited her mother was. Her mom also sent her jewelry to be blessed before she left.

Annie was happy with her family, and they were a perfect family when we read her diary. The last day she had spent in her parent’s home was full of joy and happiness, and she did not even know that what is going to happen next to her family. They were hoping for the best, even the situation around them was the worst. It was only because of her parents and the environment her family had provided her. So when we read these lines, which have been written in her diary, we get to know about her family's positive and healthy attitude, especially of her mother.
