Short Story Project-Theme

The Miracle Worker

The subject of this story is the blind and deaf. In the first part of the story, it is about a little girl named Helen that almost dies. She lives but with the consequence of being deaf and blind. The parents take her to a lot doctors but everyone say there is nothing they can do. So they finally decide to contact a specialist in Boston who sends a young woman who was once blind and has a history, too. Helen being bad educated treats her with disrespect and locks her up. I think that in this part of the story the author is trying to let you know what the main idea of the story is and how deaf people suffer a lot.

In the second part of the story the author is talking about how a child gets disciplined to learn to be respectful. In this section the teacher, "Annie", teaches Helen how to be respectful and learn her manners. Annie struggles a lot with her but soon gets Helen to learn manners. I think that Helen was a very bad child and the parents should have taught her better than that. I think that Annie does a great job in disciplining her the way she did. The little girl really deserved it. Also because it helped Helen learn something good.



I think the third part of the story is what i loved the most. The purpose for that is because Annie has taught Helen manners and how to talk and understand. Helen has taught Annie how to love again after her tragic past. I enjoyed the ending because the author is trying to show that love means a million things. That with patience and love you can accomplish what you want. This author did a good job on this story. I really enjoyed it.
