*Conflict*
Annie is in the car and her fake parents are being very rude to Annie and she wants to get out and she is freaking out because she doesn't know who they really are . Other little conflicts were when Guy was trying to get Mr.Stock's to agree to having Annie live with him he felt like he was just using her for publicity.
*Point of View*
Annie tries to see people for good in them and Mr.Stack's doesn't see tell he meets Annie and he changes a lot in a good way. Will Stock's likes the way things are going and wants to adopt Annie. Grace thinks it a wonderful idea. They all think differently and that is what makes them unique.
*Theme*
"Be what you want to be not what others want to see." Miss Hannigan tells Annie and the foster kids to act good and make it look like she is a good foster mom. Only that she isn't and they should just be themselves around people instead of always making good impressions. Will is also forced to do stuff so he can get elected mayor. The stuff he does isn't always what he wants he has to do it so he can get eleted. Most people should be like Annie she doesn't care people think she is just a very lovable little kid trying to find happiness.
