Patty Duke

The Miracle Worker is a play during the 1960’s written by Will Gibson and revolves around Annie Sullivan and the struggles she must go through while having to teach Helen Keller the art of language. As the story progresses, several different types of conflicts are introduced to us through Annie. Examples of this would include man vs. man and man vs. himself. Helen Keller, as a growing six year old girl without the ability to see, her or talk is also having a difficult time with adjusting to discipline from Sullivan. There are several different major conflicts presented throughout the story. The cultural conflict between the Northern and Southern United States in The Miracle Worker impacts gender roles and etiquette, and this conflict is reflected in the interactions of Mr. Keller and Annie Sullivan. The gender roles had been part of the story ever since the first few interactions between Mr. Keller and Annie Sullivan. An example of this would be when there are heavy objects for the women to carry, usually the men would come and carry them.

On page 36, Mr. Keller strongly does not allow Sullivan to get down from the ladder herself after Helen locks her into a room. Despite her persistent efforts, “Captain Keller, I’m perfectly able to go down a ladder under my own-” (Gibson…

Poems happen to be words that mean more than they look. May they express a message, describe someone’s point of view of his/her life or anything, poems are able to do so much with so little.

“Checking Out Me History” both express anger through a first person perspective, in the form of a dramatic monologue, although the poems offer two different portrayals of anger. In Browning’s poem, the reader is introduced to a seemingly expressive and biased rant from the Duke about his past Duchess, speaking to an envoy. ‘My’, the possessive pronoun, implies he sees women as possessions.

With this the impression is created that…
