Question

Compare the memoir and the play. Which three statements about the comparison are true?

Answer 1

Answer:

• Only the memoir shows that Helen treats her doll roughly because she feels frustrated.  
• The play and the memoir both show Helen treating her doll poorly.  
• Only the memoir explains why Helen and Annie are frustrated with each other.

Explanation:

This is based on Helen Keller's memoir and play. One difference between the memoir and the play is that even though both the memoir and the play show that Helen treated her doll badly, only the memoir explains that she did so because she felt frustrated when she could not understand the reading exercise that Anne was teaching her.

It was also only the memoir that showed that Helen and Anne were frustrated with one another as a result of misunderstandings as Anne was attempting to teach her.
