Uddrag
“New directions” by Maya Angelou have focus on the character Annie Johnson, a mother, who is finding a new way to support her family.
Annie is presented throughout most of the story as diligent, brave and caring, making her a sympathetic character.
“Annie, over six feet tall, big-boned, decided that she would not go to work as a domestic and leave her “precious babes” to anyone else’s care.” This quote indicates that she is a caring and protective mother.
She doesn’t want anyone else taking care of her babies. Being a divorced mom with two children has a huge impact on her, but she is still very strong-minded and doesn’t give up.
