The Journey of Annie Johnson Story by: Maya Angelou Below is a young Maya Angelou.

Annie Johnson! Annie Johnson was a women from Arkansas in late 1903 in Arkansas most women were domestics at that time. Annie was a mother, a wife, and not very intelligent.

“I looked up the road I was going and back the way I come, and since I wasn’t satisfied, I decided to step off the road and cut me a new path.” This quote tells us that Annie was confident and knew she could make it she just needed to well, start all over.

Character Traits. Inner ThoughtsSpeech and ActionsPhysical Appearance Annie was confident she would survive. She opened her own business. Annie was an African American woman. She told herself she wasn’t leaving her precious babes in someone else’s care. She walked two miles to see if she could make it. She was Big-boned and tall.

My description of Annie. I think that Annie is courageous, I think that Annie is courageous because she told her husband she wanted a divorced. Annie is also very brave in my opinion because she was I single black mother in the 1900’s. Which was probably really hard back then because it is still hard nowadays. Last but not least I believe Annie is determined. I believe she is determined because when she first started selling meat pies she went back and forth to the lumber mill then to the cotton gin.

Conflicts. Well first of all Annie was a BLACK WOMAN now that's hard enough then she decided to get divorced, with two kids. At first Annie was on the wrong path then she decided to start over.

All in all Annie got divorced this affected Annie in many ways first of all she is now a single parent so she had to provide for her family all alone so she went from being a housewife to a successful business owner.
