In the Miracle Worker there is a quote that Annie says,”She wants to be like us,” and she is referring to Helen, because Helen tries to talk even if she can’t. Sometimes people try to be like others. For example,when I’m about to pay for something and my sister gets something better I try to find something the same as well. Another example, is when someone was wearing an Adidas shirt I went to go look for one in my size, but there wasn’t any. Also when you're about to go somewhere you try to look your best to impress the people that are going to be there.Sometimes people even try to get the same clothes as the other person. Some positive things that impact your life is that you want to be like other and want what other people have. Also something

When the supposable love of your life turns it around in the space of 2 minutes… Most will be thinking how is this possible, but for Helen Meads, this event changed her life for the worse. David White describes the events of that day, and what led to it, and tells of the ordeals that a family is subjected to when one of their own is murdered. It is a poignant and compelling story. There are issues of custody, access and bail, and looming court appearances. And often, as in this case, there is the killer’s family to deal with. Finally, there is also the bureaucracy and the media that have to be faced and accepted as inevitable intrusions on the private lives of the victim’s families – families who would prefer to be left alone to grieve.

Helen Jewett was portrayed in two different ways in the newspapers, and the press. There were those who were in favor of prostitution, and did not see it as a sinful profession, and write about her in a positive light, using such words as good girl, sensitive, sensible, and self-possessed young women in order to persuade the people of the time to have some sympathy for her murder (Cohen, P. 1998, pg.15 & 76). Helen Jewett was also portrayed in a negative light by newspapers that were from outer states, and by moralist who saw the profession of prostitution as sinful, and dangerous for society (Cohen, P. 1998, pg.61, 63 & 76). The reason why some portrayed Helen Jewett in a positive light was in order to make the populace have sympathy for her
In the Iliad, there are a handful of women that do not possess agency or the ability to make changes. Though the book is based on the Trojan War that was started over Helen, a woman, she has no direct control over her position in the battle. One may argue that “the rage” that is so commonly referred to throughout the Iliad is the direct outcome of Agamemnon’s decision to take away Achilles’ prize, Briseis, meaning that women do have an effect, but this situation only emphasizes that Briseis is an object, in the eyes of Agamemnon and Achilles, that can be traded and stolen to measure the amount of honor a man holds. Throughout the Iliad, the reader sees a variation of women, some with prominent roles and others with minor roles; the difference in the amount of time Homer allows each female character to speak or be spoken about has absolutely no effect on the agency or influence a character has.

Helen Keller is a hero because she overcame the struggle of being deaf and blind by never giving up, dedicated her life to help others, and made change in the world despite her disabilities.
Those different persons, when the chance is available, can rub off on each other, passing attributes and values on to others. So in the entirety of a person’s life, take everything for granted. The hard times and the bad times, cherish the good and learn from the bad. We should always aim to be the best we can be, and teach those who doubt themselves. Our values could rub off on people we don't even know.
