''The Miracle Worker''

One of the best books that I read in my whole life is ‘’The Miracle Worker. ’’ This is a book that shows us how perseverance can change a person and how to be stronger in life. Honestly I don’t remember who wrote but I know that the book is based on a true story.
            The book is about Helen Keller, how she suffer in her life. She was blind, deaf and mute, but even with disabilities she earn a bachelor of arts degree. When Helen Keller was a child she had a teacher. The teacher’s name was Anne Sullivan. She taught Helen the way that a person has to be. Anne Sullivan taught her the deafblind language, even when the family of Helen Keller opposed the way that Anne Sullivan was trying to teach and educate Helen. No matter what the family of  Helen thought , Sullivan was determinated to educate Helen. Years later Helen earn a degree and was available to communicate to other people by the deafblind language.
            The first time that I read this book was in Englisn class in high school two years ago. I think Anne Sullivan did a good job with Helen because it very difficult to teach a person that is deaf, blind and mute, but Anne Sullivan did it. Anne was patient, perserving and a strong woman. ‘’The Miracle Worker’’ is a good book because it demostrates that even with problems, difficults or with disabilities we can fight to have a good life. Also , tbe book shows us that no matter how difficult life can be we should never give up . Anne Sullivan was astubborn person, years later she was happy because that was a good decision, Helen could almost have a normal life .
            When I think about it now , I feel  that I can  persevere and solve  my problems. While i was reading the book i felt sad but  at  the end  of the book my feelings were completely different , i felt happy.
I recommended this book to all kinds of people  no matter if they are young or older, this book could change personality or the way to see the life.
