what did helen keler's mother learned in the miracle worker?

Question

i watched the movie and i cant figure out what her mother learned in the movie..i dont know its kinda unclear..

Answer 1

Helen Keller, as did her mother, finally understood there is an existence and purpose to language. Helen had lost her sight and hearing at age 1 1/2 due to an illness, and grew up primarily as a "feral", or wild, child. Anne Sullivan was a teacher who knew a system of sign language that could help Helen, and was brought in to do just that. At first, Helen would just mimic Anne ( by signing the same words into Anne's hand over and over like Anne had done to her) until one day at a water pump. Anne signed the word "water" into Helen's palm, and then splashed some of the liquid on her hand from the pump. Helen then makes the intellectual connection between the signed word and the actual thing, and then allegedly whispered the word "wa-wa"----baby talk for water. Her mother admitted that "wa-wa" had been Helen's first, pre-illness, word but up to that moment, she also had not understood there is a purpose to language.
Author Mark Twain was an admirer of both Helen and Anne, and had called Sullivan a "miracle worker" when he met them several years before. Though his finances weren't that well-off, he helped fund Helen's education at Radcliffe College

Answer 2

Wow, what has occurred to our education kit. Helen Keller grew to develop into quite female who grew to develop into deaf and blind yet chanced directly to communicate after all by ability of her practice Anne Sullivan.

Answer 3

Yeah i know!I love that movie and it couldnt figure it out either!I think it might be *No matter how different you may be you can always learn*.

Answer 4

I think it's that "No matter what we are all capable of learning. Whether we be blind, deaf, or mute we can still function with whatever we have to function with." Something along those lines...
