The play "The Miracle Worker" is about a young girl named Helen Keller who is left blind and deaf after a childhood illness. Her parents Mr. and Mrs. Keller brought her to see many doctors hoping to get some kind of answer to help Helen, despite their effort they were left hopeless. The hiring of Annie Sullivan was their last hope in trying to teach Helen before putting her in an institution. Annie Sullivan was a young teacher who recently graduated from Perkins Institute for the Blind. Upon her arrival to the Keller home, Captain Keller was skeptical that Annie would be able to do anything to help Helen as it would be a miracle if she could. While the Kellers didn't agree with all of Annie methods in teaching Helen, as they saw it as cruel and unnecessary, they were surprised by the progress Annie was making with Helen. Through perseverance, persistence and hard work Annie was able to not only teach Helen words and language, but a whole new world.
