Claire and her family continued down the street when "a short, rough man grabbed at my bundle [but I] would not
let it go. I called for Father and almost lost my bundle
except that another man took hold of [the man) and
dragged him away. When I turned, I could not find
Father or Mother or my sister or brothers. I ran down the
sidewalk after them, calling their names and searching
everywhere for a familiar face."

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.”
