ANNIE: Maybe after a million and one words.
Next, read the excerpt from The Story of My Life by Helen Keller
When I had played with it a little while, Miss Sullivan slowly spelled into my hand the word "d-o-HL" I was at once
interested in this finger play and tried to imitate it. When I finally succeeded in making the letters correctly I was flushed
with childish pleasure and pride. Running downstairs to my mother I held up my hand and made the letters for doll. I did
not know that I was spelling a word or even that words existed; I was simply making my fingers go in monkey-like
imitation. In the days that followed I learned to spell in this uncomprehending way a great many words, among them pin,
hat, cup and a few verbs like sit, stand and walk. But my teacher had been with me several weeks before I understood
that everything has a name.
Based on the excerpts, how is the point of view in the play The Miracle Worker different from the point of view in the
memoir The Story of My Life?
Only the play shows Helen having difficulty learning that things have names.
Only the memoir shows Helen's thoughts about her lessons.
Only the memoir shows Annie's thoughts about Helen's behavior.
Only the play shows Helen's feelings about her mother.
