SOURCE 1: From a meeting of upper managers at a company: Unfortunately, we're going to have to fire an employee. I think the
choice is pretty clear. The average writer on our team writes 500 words
an hour, but Jean only writes 200 words an hour. We need to send a
message that this kind of laziness won't be tolerated. Furthermore, she
insists on working 40 hours a week, which forces us to give her
benefits.
SOURCE 2: From an evaluation written by Jean's supervisor: Unlike the
average writer in our company who writes 500 words an hour, Jean
writes slowly and methodically. While her output is lower, her attention

big help to our department that I would like to keep her on a 40-hour-a-
week schedule so that we can be sure to meet our new productivity
goals

there are two central themes in  the miracle worker: that the human spirit can triumph over even the most daunting of disabilities and that a dedicated teacher can transform the lives of those with whom he or she comes into contact. these inspirational themes have long been personified in the widely known true-life relationship between helen keller and annie sullivan, but  the miracle worker  also dramatizes collateral issues that extend beyond the particular case. underlying helen’s process of learning basic principles of what annie terms “obedience” (decorum, etiquette, and hygiene), there are more universal lessons of self-governance—the inculcation of self-restraint instead of willfulness, the development of self-discipline instead of self-indulgence. only when these lessons have been mastered can helen begin to acquire language—which, annie says, “is to the mind more than light is to the eye.”
