Miracle Worker Changes

Everybody changes throughout life, either it from being around certain people, having people persuade you into doing something, or by seeing a certain event happen. Everyone goes through a type of change that can make a big difference in their life. I argue that people in the play “Witness” by Karen Hesse can change from being around others because Sara Chickering changed from being around the Hirsh’s, Viola ended up joining the KKK because of her husband pressuring her to, and Merlin by seeing Leanora saving Ester.

She flirts with many men and young adults throughout the play, which makes the reader feel a lack of sympathy for her as the men she desired ended up becoming major contributors to her eventual downfall, in particular Stanley.

The lovers are in love with themselves being in love. They love each other, but are more preoccupied with being seen as lovers. They often feign mild hatred. She is extremely aware of being watched and plays with the audience for sympathy in their plight and ccasionally flirts with spectators.

Characters change in good ways and the book itself shows the readers how something terrible changes people, even real life. Parents will always say to their little children “little things matter so help”, Mrs.Reffel, also they would told them in desperate measures help anyone that needs it. In The Killing Sea, Sarah was a little brat, she thought that she was the center of attention and didn’t care about anyone, only herself. When the disaster hit Indonesia, where she went for vacation, something in her says, “We need to change to survive”. Sometimes the world needs to lose something valuable to know they have a lot things that they do not say “Thank you” for. Sarah lost her mom, after she saw her mom dead, she changed. She helped Peter and a whole lot of strangers, and when they were going to a conference to know her story, she decided to wear a scarf, because where she is that is their tradition. Remember that you don’t need to lose something that is important in your life to change and help other

Imagine living in a world without sound and everything is pitch black. Well, welcome to the amazing world of Helen Keller. Helen is a girl who grew up in Alabama who is blind, deaf, and mute. The astounding book The Miracle Worker by William Gibson captures her unbelievable story. The book that he wrote is in play form not original text, so there is a movie that comes with the novel. The Miracle Worker the movie was released in 2000. The film is directed by Nadia Tass, starring Alison Elliott as Annie Sullivan, who is Helen’s teacher and helps her out of her world, and also stars Hallie Kate as the Helen Keller. Even though the book and the movie have many similarities, they are different in their own way.

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

She feels pity for Olivia and herself with the statement "Poor lady, she were better love a dream" (2.2. 25)! Viola's use of deception causes a cross gender love triangle with which she can not deal.

This educational movie leaves the important details of Helen Keller’s life because its goal is to make one feel uplifted instead of truly educating them, a tactic of Robert Greene’s soft seduction.

In some plays the experience of an important character changes him or her. In others the experiences of an important character leaves him or her almost completely unchanged. In Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun, Walter Lee Younger goes from being selfish to being the man his family needs. The road to becoming the man they needed was very rocky and difficult at times.

-Annie is a hippie and believes in freedom for everyone, rather than being locked up in a cell.

Change can be seen as a form of transformation or conversion. A form of change can be seen in “Victory Lap” by George Saunders, a short story written in such a way that the events that are enrolling throughout the story are being processed and told through the minds of three main characters. Having the perspective of each character allows us, the readers to get a much greater understanding about them and to make a better character analysis. Having said that, this story is simply about a girl, Alison getting kidnapped by an unnamed kidnapper. What were really captivating were the changes spotted on characters as the conflict progresses. One character in particular is very intriguing and his name is Kyle. One of our main character, Alison

In Annie’s second dream we see her with the Red Girl, who her mother disapproves of, sitting on the sand and watching the ships; “... filled with people on a cruise steam by. We sent confusing signals to the ships, causing them to crash on some nearby rocks. How we laughed as their cries of joy turned into cries of sorrow.”(70-71). This is a sign of Annie rebelling against her mother’s orders by being with the Red Girl who her mom believes is a bad influence on Annie and doesn’t fit her mother's standards. Annie’s mother also would not approve of her enjoying a destruction of life. The Red Girl who Annie chooses to imitate does not fit her family's standards but she is also anti establishment. After the Red Girl left the island Annie continued to grow and finally heal her relationship with her mother.

I think it's your love. And pity" (667). Annie knows that Mrs. Keller's love and pity for Helen has caused Kate to distort Helen's differentiation between right and wrong, and Annie realizes that being alone with Helen will allow her to be taught without the interference of her mother's love. Annie thinks that this love and pity from Kate is Helen's worst handicap because it prevents her from learning language and keeps Helen closed off from the world around her. Furthermore, Helen tests her family, and her teacher, when her welcome home dinner after her two weeks alone with Annie, repeatedly dropping her napkin, Kate tries to make excuses for her and supposes, "Will once hurt so much, Miss Annie? I've--made all Helen's favorite foods, tonight" (699). Kate's desire to make Helen happy on her first night back blinds Kate to the realization that if she allows Helen misbehave even once, the progress that Helen has made in the time she spent with Annie in the garden house will diminish and Annie will have to start teaching Helen all over again. Annie knows that if Helen realizes that she can get away with misbehaving, now that she is reunited with her family, she will revert back to her old ways and continue misbehaving. Because Annie fights with Kate to keep Helen in line, Annie is able to teach Helen how to act and behave like a seeing child, and begin to break through Helen's shell that prevents her from

In Karen Thompson's, The Age of Miracles, each character is going through certain changes within themselves. Julia is an eleven years old and an only child. Her family seems to be held together up until they wake up and discover that the unimaginable has just been made a reality. The Earth's rotation has slowed, causing days and nights to grow longer, gravity is thrown off, and the natural environment is thrown into disarray (Walker). These events were called, the slowing. Julia's mother, Helen, and her father, Joel, are two different people that handle the Slowing very differently. Helen freaks out over things small because she is in fear that the world is ending, Joel distances himself from the family even more, and Helen is more open about her feelings than Joel is.

Among the things we have learned to hold important in our lives, is loving someone. In the story, Helen Shaw shut herself off from others so much that when she did meet someone nice she would feel as if she couldn’t touch that person, no matter how hard she tried. The only people she had ever allowed herself to love were in dreams or movies. Once she joined the play in North Crawford, she emerged from her protective bottle and allowed herself to fall in love with Harry Nash, her co-star. She had never experienced being in love before and it was very exciting for her. If she had never emerged from her
