Reading Jornal


About the book


The book I chose to do a reading journal on is "The Miracle Worker " the Helen Keller story. This book was written ( I think in the 30's) by William Gibson. The book is about Helen Keller a seven year old girl who is mute, death, and blind. She is in dyer need of help, she is crazy and out of control, Helen's parents Captain Keller and his wife Kate Keller cant
control her either. They find themselves helpless because the can not help her own daughter. But one day Kate calls an institution the Perkins Institute. She explains to the person in charge what her daughter is going through. The institution chose Anne Sullivan for the job. She has experience in the field and later she explains that she was in asylum. When Anne arrives to the Keller's house she right away starts helping Helen for a many weeks she try's helping her sometimes the days go great Helen eventually knew how to use a spoon and some days it went horribly when Helen hit Anne with a doll and knocks her tooth out. Eventually in the end Anne helps Helen reaches to her heart and Helen learns a lot in the end.

My thoughts about the book

Well over all this book is a classic I really enjoyed reading this book. I often find books like this rather boring but This book had a lot of meaning to it. To me this book was about knowledge and how you can expand that knowledge to find your self. This book is quite amazing and I reccomend it to anyone who reads this blog.
