My personal memoir was written from the perspective of Anna Louw. I chose the scene in which she took Toby to the party. I decided on this excerpt from the book due to the fact that this was the first day that Anna had ever met Toby. I showed her little knowledge of who Toby was by having her call him Mr. Hood until she had to introduce him to someone else. I wanted to express her feelings of the party and to show her worries of bringing Toby, a man she had just met, to a party with many races of people. Anna does not know Toby enough to know how he would react to the situation she is bringing him into. Throughout the memoir it is mentioned, every so often, that Anna notices Toby studying someone intently or with a strange look on his face.
