The most prominent communication topic represented by the movie was conflict. Throughout the course of the film, there were various conflicts that took place between the main characters, Anne Sullivan and Helen, and between the supporting characters, Kate, Captain Keller, and James. The conflicts mainly occur between Anne and Helen and between Kate and Captain Keller.

In the play, The Diary of Anne Frank, Anne is a dynamic character who is disrespectful and immature in the beginning of the play. When Anna had a nightmare in the beginning of the play, her mother came into her room to comfort her.

Genius describes how God created humans for work, but not since sin has been entangled to every single area of life.

“...Who has made us Jews different from all other people? Who has allowed us to suffer so terribly up till now? It is God that has made us as we are, but it will be God, too, who will raise us up again. If we bear all this suffering and if there are still Jews left, when it is over, ...
