        <description><![CDATA[In Act 3 of The Miracle Worker, Kate advises James to stand up to his father.
James is the son of Captain Keller, the child of a previous marriage.  He and his father do not get along well; Captain Keller looks upon James as being lazy and disrespectful, and James on his part plays the role, often using bitter sarcasm in his interactions with his father and others.  Deep inside, however, James longs for his father's approval, but is clueless...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Annie recognizes that Helen is an intelligent child, but one who has not been taught how to do things in an intelligent way.  Helen reacts to her dark environment on a very instinctual, primitive level. 
Annie feels that Helen will comeout of this darkness instinctually for survival, much the way a chick must instinctually find its way through the shell that has been protecting it. 
Like the chick, once Helen comes out of the shell, she...]]></description>

When Captain Keller and his wife return after giving Annie the time she requested to work with Helen alone, they are astonished to find that their daughter has learned how to keep herself clean, to participate quietly in meaningful activities, and to spell with her hands.  Captain Keller expresses his...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[She felt that by communicating through language, it is a best portal for Helen to relate to the outside world and provide a communication tool for her to know others better and this would broaden up her social circle. She felt that "First, last, and—in between, language.... Language is to the mind more than light is to the eye." as she was once blind before and she knows how the power of language had benefitted her entire life tremendously.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[When Annie was teaching Helen "hand-spelling", writing "doll and cake" on her hand to get each of them as a reward for completing the task, Helen outsmarted and outwitted her by throwing the doll at Annie's face, which hit her and Helen rushed out towards the door, locking Annie inside alone. Annie was unable to find the key to the door, so it was an humiliating experience for her to get "rescued" and safe from the confines of the house by a...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The scene of Helen fighting with Martha and Percy tells us no matter what social standing you are in in the social hierarchy, you may not behave in an refined or dignified manner, but instead show an unruly and not lady-like behavior. They are allowed to play or fight with each other like barbarians and they even behave like monsters, even doing despicable and gross things- like the aboriginal people, bitting their own fingers when they played...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[It was trying to suggest losing the speech of language is lots worse than losing the sense of sight. He is trying to say that speech is valued more importantly than sight and it holds a greater power and influence over each other. The "speech" can make people express their thoughts and desires to wide masses of audience and to the whole world. It is better to become "blind" then to become "speechless" as this would break down one form of vital...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Kate (Helen's mother) realizes this only about one page into Act One.  Kate is simply talking to her little baby after the doctor leaves, complaining about doctors and sickness and cures.  Suddenly, Kate stops and moves her finger before Helen's eyes.  When they are unresponsive, she moves them quicker.  Then she begins saying Helen's name, snapping her fingers, and yelling "Captain!" (in other words getting her husband to come).  Thus,...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[After moving in with the Kellers, Annie experienced open conflict with Captain Keller, but she was able to forge a better relationship with Kate Keller, Helen's mother. Kate was very protective of Helen, but she was hopeful that Annie could succeed and was interested in knowing why Annie kept spelling letters into Helen's hand. After Annie explained the principle behind how she was trying to teach Helen language, Kate asked Annie to teach her...]]></description>
