The Ceremony of Ones has the advantages of providing children to couples who are interested and who for some reason are unable to have biological children or have had to deal with the death of their biological children. This allows children to be adopted by a couple who want them and who will promote a happy and pleasant home, where the child is protected and well taken care of. The disadvantage of this ceremony is the contempt that children with disabilities receive, as they are prevented from having the chance to be delivered to a couple who can take care of them, because these children are discarded to other places, regardless of their needs and feelings .
According to this excerpt from The Miracle Worker, it is narrated that Annie talks about a place (presumably a school) that taught her how to spell, helped her grow and taught her what help is.
The word that best describes Annie in this excerpt is that she is GRATEFUL.
