1. How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?

3. 27
But they have to be actual roads, not lanes or avenues and certainly not streets.

4. Why? Is it the sad little kids in the orphanage under the care of an
old drunk who works them to the bone?

5. Yeah, that and the fact that Annie believes she still has parents...
...who just parked her at the orphanage but who still love her. And not only did her parents do that, but they actually died, too.

Yikes.

7. A poor substitute at best
Her natural parents essentially sell her into slavery as a small child and then die before they can come back. Their sole legacy is a small half of a locket and her last name. She probably doesn't even know where she was born.

13. I never thought of her being sold into slavery, just that they couldn't
afford to keep her and thought she would be better off at the orphanage than starving with them. I suspect that happened more than once in real life and not just during the Great depression. :(

15. She had to work all the time...
The conditions in the orphanage were appalling. And we really don't know why the parents sent her there, maybe they were just working out their opium addictions. But there's poor little Annie, always trusting they loved her and would come to get her any day...

12. Stupid to change it from Christmas to 4th of July. Too bad they
had Miss Hannigan become of "good guy" in the end.
