If I did, they might send be back like a defective toaster.” (42). Her comparison of herself to a broken piece of equipment reflects her feeling of being valueless and a damaged person; moreover, her fear of having her foster parents, Paul and Janet, reject her immediately once they hear her story is epitomized by Lisa as she thinks people see her as an object that needs to be returned if found to be faulty.

The main one being her firmly believing her mother was against her. Her hate for her mother grew throughout the story. Annie first felt this when her mom bought different clothing, whereas Annie was accustomed to wearing the same thing as her mom. She also later on called her mom a hore.
