How can you help someone who is mentally handicapped?

And not only that, Helen is physically handicapped as well. Sure, heartwarming, interesting, whatever. Only problem is, how do you develop good in someone who has a GENETIC disease? (Based on her behavior, I'd say she has Sanfillipo's). Anne Sullivan isn't realistic either.

the miricle worker

i thought this was a great hartfelt drama of the 19th century and could use a little remodling for a new age type person. thats all i have to say about this P.O.S. book.ILTM! oh yeah, highjinx too!!

Truthful, Powerful and Challenging

I started loving this story 30 years ago. The Truth in it is stronger than ever! I understand why children love it. There are healthy standards, it is full of hope for the future, in spite of the difficulties that lurk all around. This story is an excellent symbol to all of us who are, in any way, disabled. Be it blindness, deafness, poverty, abuse survivor, depression, you name it. When we have been allowed to be strong-willed and determined to do things our own way, even if it totally grosses out and/or destroys everyone around us, especially those we love. Anti-social behavior can be as deadly to the person exhibiting the behavior as walking in the street and ignoring the traffic! The symbolism of how the Truth enters one's mind when the person is ready to learn, applies to every person on earth. This is so beautifully presented by the teacher's determination and the student's grasping and taking hold of the knowledge. Thus, proving Helen's intellegence and desire. Desire to live a fuller life then before meeting her match in Anne Sullivan.

She met someone that wouldn't patronize her, but would give her the tools she needed to live, long after her exhausted family went on to meet their maker.

This is one of my favorite books because it makes me look at myself. What do I do that is selfish and bothersome to those around me that I can give up? And are there tools out there that can help me contribute to the world around me?

It was a good book

I enjoyed this book because the book has really good charecters in it it and they are really active.And the book is also very funny because the charecters like helen do very funny things, like helen eats off of other peoples plate and she is always mad happy or sad or she is always hitting people. It is also funny when Helen tries to show people when she is happy or sad because she is handycap it makes it look funny. The book and the movie is almost word for word.There are a lot of charecters in the book so sometimes it is hard to keep track of who is talking and who is doing what. But it is a good book and i think some people will like it better than other people would.
