Product Description:
NO ONE COULD REACH HER
Twelve-year-old Helen Keller lived in a prison of silence and darkness. Born deaf, blind, and mute, with no way to express herself or comprehend those around her, she flew into primal rages against anyone who tried to help her, fighting tooth and nail with a strength born of furious, unknowing desperation.
Then Annie Sullivan came. Half-blind herself, but possessing an almost fanatical determination, she would begin a frightening and incredibly moving struggle to tame the wild girl no one could reach, and bring Helen into the world at last....

An inspiring story, but a difficult book to trudge through. I never have enjoyed reading the scripts for modern plays - it's so much better to watch them being performed. I'm not sure that either of the Hollywood films has really captured the essence of the story, but watching them is certainly more enjoyable than reading this book. The only way we could get my daughter through it (for a 6th grade assignment) was by reading it out aloud and giving the characters ridiculous accents (for example, Captain Keller became a pirate). Only get this book from the library, and even then, only if you have an assignment to do !

I chose this book "The miracle worker" because I knew it was going to be about the adventure of Helen Keller and the way she learned to communicate with her hands because she was blind and deaf. My feelings about the story after I read it was that nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it you can accomplish anything. Yes, this book was what I thought it would be. I felt the same way about the book after I read it. My feelings didn't change because it turned out the way that I expected.
This story is about a teacher who had one of the same problems as the child she was teaching so she knew what her student was going through. The teacher and the child become the worst of enemies but then realize how much they really care about each other. They go through rough times but at the end everything falls into place. It is a true story of Helen Keller and Annie. The parents go through a difficult time watching the teacher, Annie, teach Helen as if she were a regular child. They think that the teacher is not a very good teacher. In the beginning, they want Annie to leave but later on they see that Annie is going to be the one who gets through to Helen.
Two reasons why I like this book is because it shows that anything is possible if you try hard enough and that you can get through to the most stubborn person in the world.
I think that this book is for the age of twelve years old and up. I chose twelve years old and up because you need to be able to understand what you're reading. Twelve year olds also have a good variety of vocabulary. So I suggest that you read this book because it will give you a great feeling inside!
I would give this book a five out of five rating because it is a very good book!!!
This book is about a girl who finds herself with the help of a teacher, everyone should read this book and I promise you that you will not waste your time!!!

This is a very good book about the truth of a little who is in bad shape and then made it throuth with help. And parents who are willing to give for their little girl who is having a hard time and can't see or hear and speak.
