Captain Keller Character Analysis

780 Words4 Pages

I believe that throughout the Miracle worker Captain Keller, James Keller and Kate keller begin to have a different view on annie Sullivan during the course of the play, though james doesn’t really show it. Captain Keller was not really pleased with annie in the beginning of the play but later he learns to realizes that annie is the only person who can help helen 's ability to learn. Captain keller’s initial displeasement with annie was first shown when kate keller informed Captain keller that annie is partially blind and she is suppose to teach helen as stated on page 29 in the miracle worker. This further proves that Captain keller didn 't really approve of annie when she first started to work for the kellers. And though Captain keller didn’t really like approve of annie at first he soon realized that annie is the only person who can teach helen. Captain keller even says it himself when he is speaking to annie in the cabin, on page 91 keller says “We are more than satisfied, you’ve done more than we ever thought possible, taught her constructive things to do , to behave like -even look like-a human child ,so manageable, contented, cleaner”this is a big change for keller because near the beginning keller seemed to dislike annie but know he seems to have some respect and admiration for her. This clearly shows that the Captain began to have a different view on annie as a person since the beginning of the play. James keller doesn’t really show a difference in his view

  • What Are The Challenges Faced By Hellen Keller

    304 Words  | 2 Pages

    Hellen Keller overcame her disabilities to become a great author and a lead example to all people with disabilities to show that nothing is impossible. Having no way to communicate or see my surroundings is impossible to imagine and is a great obstacle to overcome especially more than 100 years ago. I would imagine that my life would be completely different with two major disabilities such as Hellen Keller and would be very difficult without a great teacher like Anne Sullivan. I would feel trapped if I were to lose my ability to use language later in life and would not know what to do. I would not be able to talk, see, read or write and that leaves me with no form of communication.

    The story “Real Work” by Rick Braggs, told of a man who had learned some hard lessons early on in his life. He described that it might be hard, hot and you might get dirty, but it was worth it. The author showed us with his comparison and contrast of his childhood experiences working with his uncle, that he experienced things at the time, that possibly made little sense. The examples of some of the work he did, was really tough. The fraternity he mentioned made me picture someone who had to push their body to extremes for their paycheck.

The closest movie theater was a 25-minute drive to Southlake, Texas, and there were not many restaurants or other recreational areas.

  • The Importance Of Adversity In Harry Potter Novels

    Author C.S Lewis once stated that “Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny,” seemingly explaining that those who experience adversity prosper in difficult situations. It is what we experience for the worst that changes us for the better. Roman poet Horace asserts this claim, saying that adversity plays into an individual’s character. He claims that talent arises from adversity and becomes prosperous in normally dormant situations. I believe this claim to be true as it can be seen in numerous historical events and works of literature alike.
