Read the excerpt from The Miracle Worker by William Gibson. KATE: [TOO QUICKLY] What did she spell? ANNIE: I spelled card. She spelled cake! (She takes in KATE’S quickness and shakes her head, gently.) No, it’s only a finger game to her, Mrs. Keller. What she has to learn first is that things have names. KATE: And when will she learn? ANNIE: Maybe after a million and one words. Next, read the excerpt from The Story of My Life by Helen Keller. When I had played with it a little while, Miss Sullivan slowly spelled into my hand the word "d-o-l-l." I was at once interested in this finger play and tried to imitate it. When I finally succeeded in making the letters correctly I was flushed with childish pleasure and pride. Running downstairs to my mother I held up my hand and made the letters for doll. I did not know that I was spelling a word or even that words existed; I was simply making my fingers go in monkey-like imitation. In the days that followed I learned to spell in this uncomprehending way a great many words, among them pin, hat, cup and a few verbs like sit, stand and walk. But my teacher had been with me several weeks before I understood that everything has a name. Based on the excerpts, how is the point of view in the play The Miracle Worker different from the point of view in the memoir The Story of My Life? Only the play shows Helen having difficulty learning that things have names. Only the memoir shows Helen’s thoughts about her lessons. Only the memoir shows Annie’s thoughts about Helen’s behavior. Only the play shows Helen’s feelings about her mother.

Which excerpt from the war of the worldseffectively reveals how the author relates the climax of the narrative through the narrator's thoughts? the war of the worldsall this had happened with such swiftness that i had stood motionless, dumbfounded and dazzled by the flashes of light. had that death swept through a full circle, it must inevitably have slain me in my surprise. but it passed and spared me, and left the night about me suddenly dark and unfamiliar.and then, with a renewed horror, i saw a round, black object bobbing up and down on the edge of the pit. it was the head of the shopman who had fallen in, but showing as a little black object against the hot western sun.at that time it was quite clear in my own mind that the thing had come from the planet mars, but i judged it improbable that it contained any living creature. i thought the unscrewing might be automatic.my mind ran fancifully on the possibilities of its containing manuscript, on the difficulties in translation that might arise, whether we should find coins and models in it, and so forth. yet it was a little too large for assurance on this idea. i felt an impatience to see it opened.
