The Play : Read the excerpt from The Miracle Worker by William Gibson.
ANAGNOS: Deaf, blind, mute—who knows? She is like a little safe, locked, that no one can open. Perhaps there is a treasure inside.
ANNIE: Maybe it’s empty, too?
ANAGNOS: Possible. I should warn you, she is much given to tantrums.
ANNIE: Means something is inside. Well, so am I, if I believe all I hear. Maybe you should warn them.
ANAGNOS: [FROWNS]: Annie. I wrote them no word of your history. You will find yourself among strangers now, who know nothing of it.
Next, read the excerpt from The Story of My Life by Helen Keller.
Dr. Bell advised my father to write to Mr. Anagnos, director of the Perkins Institution in Boston, the scene of Dr. Howe's great labours for the blind, and ask him if he had a teacher competent to begin my education. This my father did at once, and in a few weeks there came a kind letter from Mr. Anagnos with the comforting assurance that a teacher had been found. This was in the summer of 1886. But Miss Sullivan did not arrive until the following March.

a)The reader gets background on how Annie came to be Helen’s teacher.

b)The reader experiences Helen’s feelings of frustration in a description of her tantrums.

c)The reader gets background information that Helen might not have known about or experienced.

d)The reader experiences Miss Sullivan coming to teach Helen from Helen’s point of view.

Explanation:

Helen spent a big part of her life apart from everyone, totally isolated because of her limitation, being blind, deaf and mute, made it impossible for her to be aware of many events that are included in the narrative, it was until she learned to communicate with signs language and Braille language that she became aware of her surroundings.

The correct answer is C: The reader gets background information that Helen might not have known about or experienced.

• Based on the excerpts, the point of view in The Miracle Worker is different than the point of view in The Story of My Life because the readers gets more information which Helen did not know about.

• Helen spent a lot of time isolated from others, because they could not understand her and she couldn’t understand them. This was because of her being deaf, blind and mute and the people around her did not know how to communicate with her effectively.

• Because of this limitation, it was impossible for her to have known about a lot of things going around in her surroundings and therefore, she could not have known about the event explained in the excerpt given above or any other detail about how Annie Sullivan came to become her teacher, who changed her life.

• We get to know more Annie Sullivan as well, about her personal life, which is not mentioned in The Story of My Life. Annie expressed her opinions honestly and here, she is lighthearted and joking about her own shortcomings as seen in the above mentioned passage.

• It wasn’t until Helen learned to communicate with sign language and subsequently Braille that she started to understand the people around her and her surroundings in general.

The rest of the answers are not the best description about the differences in the point of view about the two books.
