Read this excerpt from The Miracle Worker.

ANAGNOS: So. You are no longer our pupil, we throw you into the world, a teacher. If the child can be taught. No one expects you to work miracles, even for twenty five dollars a month. Now, in this envelope a loan, for the railroad, which you will repay me when you have a bank account. But in this box, a gift. With love.

Answer 2

1

Step-by-step explanation:

Anagnos is explaining to Annie what will be expected of her as a teacher and is saying that as long as a child can be taught, she should be expected to do her best to instruct it. The money that he gives her is a loan to help her before she gets her first paycheck, and the gift is a legitimate sign of the affection that Anagnos has for Annie. He does not expect any payment for the ring.
