Two specific characters caught my eye as I watched Annie, one of them being Annie herself. The way she held herself like a child and radiated optimism assisted me in believing her character. Her gesticulations were good, but since I was in the back row, some of them were hard to see and interpret. She held herself like she was Annie very well,but she also spoke like a child, and intensified her character by sounding how a uneducated child would sound. Her undeniable optimism let her foil very well with other characters, making the play better. In the scene where she was talking to the hobos, she revealed the hobos pessimism, while reinforcing her own optimism without having it shoved down our throats by her simply saying she was optimistic outright. The way she built her

The men that go off and face war have not changed from back then to modern day today. They not only face different battles because of new technology, yet they all still love and breathe the same way. It needs to be acknowledged that love never changes and all forms of love are constant throughout life. Love always seemed to be the safety net to our leap of faith with partners in a relationship. Having that scenario play out may seem different... love might have the outer shell of being different but overall in the end, going back to the basics.. This scene is in the intro and is Jimmy cross giving an explanation of why he has the photographs. He goes into depth of how his love is consistent with Martha. He talks about how he thinks about her all the time. He can’t get her out of his

Scout is a very strong and independent character who believes in who she is. She does not allow anyone to push her around even if that means she has to settle an argument in an immature way such as fist fights. Scout is unlike many girls in her town. She likes to play outside,wear pants and she doesn’t like to play with teasets or dolls. This appalls many adults who are not understanding of why Scout is different from the other girls. Many neighbors and relatives put the blame on Atticus for “not raising her right”. Atticus is often criticized because he took a different role in life than his siblings and left the Finch landing. The Finch Landing is a huge farm run by workers paid slim to none. Atticus’s siblings, Alexandra and Jack stayed at the farm and took in the money and watched the workers work. Generations and generations of Finches had done this with the exception of Atticus. Instead he felt there was more to life and decided to go to school and become a lawyer. He is now raising Scout and Jem. With Scout’s mom dead, many people feel they need to intervene with Atticus’s parenting to play a mother figure. Alexandra plays a big part in this and sits Scout down to chat. Alexandra tells Scout that she

Her general tone is very pretentious and condescending towards the kids, which shows that she wants to act smarter and more powerful than her students. Also, this demonstrates ageism, which is a type of prejudice that is based on a person’s age. Miss Caroline talks to her first graders as if they are idiots, even though some of the kids are much older and have been in the first grade for a long time. In addition, she immediately assumes that all of the students are illiterate. However, students like Scout, who belong to the social class of wealthy townspeople, are literate and have learned how to read. Even though this is a good thing, Miss Caroline “looked at [Scout] with faint distaste.” When Scout argues, Miss Caroline uses Scout’s age to falsely conclude that “[Scout] was lying. ‘Let’s not let our imaginations run away with us, dear.”’ Miss Caroline then judges Atticus by calling him less intelligent than her by thinking that “[Atticus] does not know how to teach…You tell him I’ll take over from here and try to undo the damage.” Even though Scout is literate because of Atticus’s proper teaching, and Atticus is a successful lawyer in the town of Maycomb, Miss Caroline makes false judgements without knowing this background

James Berger writes, “Some felt that Gibson and Penn were responsible for sentimentalizing Sullivan and Keller’s stories and turning the two women into caricatures,” (Berger 1). The quote from the article shows that some critics did feel that the miracle worker had flaws, namely representation of Helen and Annie. As well as their personalities, Helen and Annie’s relationships were also exaggerated. Many of the dramatic fights between teacher and student did not happen and if they did, Helen at age 7 could not have put up as much of a fight as she did in Penn’s movie. The actor who played Helen was 15 at the time of the filming, and due to her larger size and energy than Helen, depicted Helen as larger burden to Annie then she was in reality. In addition to the the way her story was Illustrated, Helen Keller felt that that the personalities of she and Annie were depicted in a way that she did not feel was
