Reaction

I can say that the mo&ie entitled Miracle Worker9

ser&es as a memento that there are thins we "elie&ed to "e impossi"le, "ut "ecame possi"le

"ecause we e+erted sufficient perse&erance into it. I

salute the passion and commitment of $nnie

%ulli&an to tutor a deaf, mute and "lind child in the

person of !elen Keller. $nnie %ulli&an is 7ust one

out of many teachers out there who ha&e i&en their

life to "ecome catalyst for well :rounded

de&elopment of the differently a"le children.

-urin the moments I watched the mo&ie, I really

asked myself if it is still possi"le for a person to

learn if he;she has multiple sensory impairmentssuch as the defects of the siht, hearin, and

speakin. I definitely reali<ed that e&en if the senses

were impaired and not the mind, there would still "e

a possi"ility to learn the same way like those with

normal sensory functionin if there is acolla"orati&e support from the community, home,

and school. I aree what $nnie %ulli&an said,

anuae is more important to the mind than liht



is to the eye9. This mo&ie is the most that captured

my heart as well my mind. It was touchin mo&ie I

ne&er watched any mo&ie that captured myattention, e+citement, e&ery time I watched the

scenes. What $nnie %ulli&an showed in the mo&ie

is e+ample of a teacher who has i&en their life to

"ecome catalyst for well :rounded de&elopment of

the differently a"le children. I salute $nnie for her

determination to teach !elen and she understandshow difficult it is for !elen to do thins and to cope

with the defects she has.

$fter I watched the mo&ie, I thouht it was created

story "y director until I saw the picture of true

!elen and her teacher $nnie %ulli&an it was True tolife story. It was &ery nice mo&ie I will ne&er foret

this mo&ie "ecause it tauht me much a ood

lesson.

ConclusionRecommen!ation

The central issue of the Miracle Worker was Miss%ulli&an teachin !elen a sin lanuae. When she

tauht !elen for the first time, it was difficult for

her "ut she still pursues to teach !elen. $fter weeks



of practices, !elen successfully learned &ery much,

can now communicate and the time passed "y she

also successfully raduated from collee.I recommend all students and teachers to watch this

mo&ie The Miracle Worker9 "ecause it tells the

relationship "etween the student and teacher.

$ sym"iotic relationship is a relationship "etween

two entities which is mutually "eneficial for the participants of the relationship. $s we o"ser&e,

!elen Keller learned a lot from $nnie %ulli&an and

the latter also learned a lot from the former. If I

relate it to the real life teachin situations that I

soon to "e e+perienced, I can say that the mo&ie is a

"i help especially in tellin that the teacher :student relationship creates a more effecti&e

teachin stratey if there is a i&e and take9 or

sym"iotic connection9 wherein the teacher is open

to learn from the student and the student is also

willin to learn from the teacher.

Reaction

The con&entional play entitled /ew =orker in

Tondo9 was performed "y the students in different

courses of $22 2ollee Taui.When the play started in the first scene it was

confusin part "ecause you cannot imaine what the

story all a"out. It was nice how the students played



"y their respecti&e role "ut ?uite ood "ecause there

&oice is too low we cannot here from the audience.


I suest make it serious they must know how to

capture the attention of the audience throuh their

clear messae in order to understand what are they

sayin. They must practice their &oice a little "itlouder so that the audience can understand what the

story is all a"out.

@ne thin that made me interestin when secret

lo&e of the characters in the story is re&ealed. $nd

the two pairs end up in each others arms. Kikay is "ack to her old self simple and kind. Most of all,

the Bilipino &alue learned "y the protaonist which

is Athere is no place like homeA, is a lesson on lo&e

of country and its culture.



Why Women Wash the Dishes

The story of Why Women Wash -ishes is "ased

on a couple who fiht o&er washin of dishes. They

decide for endin up this ?uarrel and decide that

whoe&er speaks first will wash the dishes. In this

condition, the wife loses and the hus"and wins.

Cast of Characters:

Ka ugong : hus"and of ka maldan

Ka mal!ang : wife of ka uon

Reaction

The students who played the story Why Women

wash the dishes9 act perfect "y the "est actors and

actress on role of ka uon, ka maldan, neih"ors,

and specially who played the role of !uo he did

the "est act in the scene. $nother thin, the

characters were funny and it emphasi<es sense ofhumor. The story made me interestin and it has

happy endin. )&ery scene, I lauhed so hih

"ecause how they act the role it felt me happy until

the end of the story.




The story made interestin "ecause the reason that

why they should arue to themsel&es in terms of the

dishes. In reality, washin dishes was 7ust a minor

pro"lem of a hus"and and wife. Bault : findins,

countin each contri"utions and complaints are one

the reason why two couple arue results intoseparation, if not properly settled. It has a moral

lesson that a couple should understand it doesn3t

important how many your work the matter your

helpin each other as a couple.

The students played perfect as their respecti&e roleo&erall impact on their stae play %$TI%BI)-.
