m is for miracle worker

M is for miracle worker. In L.A. we have been reading the book The Miracle Worker it is about this mute, deaf and blind girl named Helen Keller but she wasn't always deaf and blind she became deaf and blind because she got sick and because of it she became deaf and blind. Her family was tired of trying but then Aunt ev suggested Mister Anagnos so they wrote a letter to him and he sent his top pupal Annie Sullivan a half-blind 20 year old women who has a bad past with her childhood.





When Annie get to the Keller's house Helen gets a doll from Annie and Annie goes to her room and "teaches" her how to spell doll d,o,l,l even though Helen doesn't know what it means. But Annie's job doesn't start on a good note, Helen hits Annie in the face with her new doll, then at lunch she has a tantrum and she goes crazy so she wrecks almost every thing.

Then Annnie gets the idea to take Helen away from her parents so she won't count on them to stop Annie and so she will have to depend on Annie. Annie teaches her new words every day but her time is short she only has 2 weeks to open Helens mind to the world and under stand every thing.

At the end of tghe week Annie and Helen go back to the Kellers house and its like nothing happened and we go back to square one untill Helen is taken to the water pump and feels the water running then she says "wah wah" and then she under stands EVERY THING.

life lesson: never give up

  1. Aj this is a well constructed blog. Some constructive criticism I have is that the font is to small. But besides that you explained yourself well. Keep up the good work.
