After reading act II of “The Miracle Worker,” I realize that I sympathize most with Kate Keller, Helen’s mother. While I have never been in a situation like that, I can very clearly imagine what Kate must be going through. She sees the child as helpless; she thinks there is very little hope for her. In the back of her mind, however, that by bribing her with sweets and giving her what she wants, she is only spoiling her and making matters worse in the long run. Unfortunately, she doesn’t want to say so, and Annie Sullivan knows why.…
Epistemology, the study of knowing, is a multifaceted study. There are several different ways humans come to know things: experiential knowledge, learning through the use of senses, vicarious learning, and even learning through revelations. Each way of gaining knowledge is unique, and every person learns differently. When reading about the old man, Helen Keller, and Mrs. Hale’s experiences, it is easy to see a commonality; Though unique, the link in each character’s story occurs in the revelations they experience. The old man in “A Christmas Story,” Helen Keller, and Mrs. Hale in “Trifles” have all had experiences of learning in different ways, but ultimately it is a personal revelation that leads to their epiphanies of new knowledge in their lives.…

Often people have to endure tests of character in order to prove who they are. It is when people have to face great opposition that their character is truly shown; we see whether people are heroes or cowards. Those who are heroic always stand up for their morals and never back down and do selfless acts for the good of others. When people encounter moments where they have to face opposition they can do either of two things; they can stand up for what they believe in and do what they think is the right thing to do, or they can sit back and let someone else do it and simply try to ignore the problem. The ones who always stand up for what they believe are the people who are true heroes. People who have a heroic character will constantly rise up and speak out loud when they see that something wrong is going on. The people who are heroes are incredibly important to society, because they are the people who work for a better tomorrow; they are the people who are willing to sacrifice themselves for something better.…

From a perspective of a soon to be teacher such as yours truly, I can say that the movie entitled “Miracle Worker” serves as a memento that there are things we believed to be impossible, but became possible because we exerted sufficient perseverance into it. I salute the passion and commitment of Annie Sullivan to tutor a deaf, mute and blind child in the person of Helen Keller. Annie Sullivan is just one out of many teachers out there who have given their life to become catalyst for well –rounded development of the differently able children. In relation to the subject EDUC. 1 Child and Adolescent Development, I can say that the movie is quite appropriate to be viewed by students who were enrolled in Teachers Certificate Curriculum for Non Education Professionals (TCCNEP) because the movie provided us the unique and effective teaching strategies that are well designed to provide special education to those children with multiple sensory impairments. As soon to be teacher, I should be equipped with competence and be prepared for possibilities that I soon to be encountered as I practice my teaching profession later.…
