Who is Anna?

      Anna would seem like a woman who is using whatever means necessary to obtain what she needs, especially by way of men. But my concern comes in when society paints the woman as the major culprit and does not place any responsibility on the man. It is a pandemic that has plagued the world since Adam blamed Eve in the garden. Although she has her part to play in her situation and is solely responsible for her actions as an adult, for it only to be seen as her and not the men who are actively participating as well and not tagging their reputations and scarring their names is something that is an ever growing problem. Both parties are equally accountable for the choices they make and should be held as such. I am not saying that Anna should not have made better decisions. There is always a better way of doing things. At first Anna had real genuine feelings for Walter. When things fell off and her friends started talking to her about how she should deal with men, she changed her perspective. Some people are more easily influenced and more susceptible to suggestion and Anna was one of these individuals. After being heartbroken, her friends advice sounded like wisdom and she learned to operate under this premise. Anna is a woman who finds herself in a situation that is bleak and dire. Her acting career is not taking off like she wants it too, her love life has taken a dive and now she yearns for what she is missing. The easiest way to do it was through the tactics suggested by her friends, which ended up in an unwanted pregnancy, of which she took care of by way of abortion. The doctor even went as far as to tell her that it was not the end of life for her and that she would be able to pick herself up and move past it. Anna's story is like the typical lifetime movie special on a Sunday Night.
