Annie was raised in an affluent family that lived in a sumptuous house located on a hillside.
When she was 8 years old, she was brought to the local market and saw impoverished conditions. A handicapped
boy came to her to ask for donations but her mother pulled her away from him
like he was a rat. This elucidated
her that her wealth must be shared with those who needed it more. But she was
just a cog. As she grows, this
childhood memory perturbed her to do
something with it. At a dinner feast for her family’s friends, she was very decorous towards the guests that came.
Suddenly, a waiter accidently spilled juice on Mr. Locks that was known as a surly man. Mr. Locks grabbed him and
punched the waiter but Annie intervened
and said “you have no right to ravage a man who did an accident even though he
is barely solvent while we live a lavish life”. The other waiters became proponents for her on the matter and
Mr. Locks was silenced. Annie tried to console the waiter that was assaulted
and found him to be handicapped.
