The Miracle Worker

A miracle is an improbable or extraordinary event, development, or accomplishment that brings very welcome consequences, according to Dictionary.com. From this, many can infer that it is impossible to purchase a miracle seeing that they are so unlikely. A few dollars should not be able to expedite the process of receiving miracles.

process and cover some of their medical bills. Jesus may have been able to physically heal the deaf man within a matter of seconds because of the power invested in him from his father, but we are not capable of doing so.

Canada is seen as the multi cultural country.Also with the controversy about the entrance of refugees recently this could easily be Canada. Moreover, the elements of irony were delightful.For instance, the part when Kee the refugee that is having the miracle child reveals that she is pregnant to Theo the protagonist;she was placed in a farm surrounded by cows as a form of lactation and motherhood.Another form of irony was the presentation of the blimp of the pig.this represented the expression…
