Answer:
Gibson presents the theme in The Miracle Worker by the father who said that Helen can't learn anything and that if she was taught some discipline, then that was the only thing she was able to learn. Later in the story, Helen learned how to read and write. The father thought that this would never happen. The prejudice of the father could ruin Helen's life because if Anne had agreed with the father that Hellen was not capable of learning to read and write.
If we judge books by their covers, then we would not like many books, but if we were to read them, then we would soon learn to love them. The same thing happens in life, if we judge people by their appearance, then we would not like many people, but if we get past their appearance and learn more about them and get to know them, then we would learn that the way they look does not matter, we would learn to enjoy their company. Judging people by their appearance would mean that you would not make friends and would end up lonely. We can live happy lives and have people there to support us when we need them if we stop our prejudiced ways. Never, and I mean NEVER, judge a book by its cover.
We can clearly see that prejudice against people is a very serious and possibly dangerous problem. The three main reasons that are in this text are: (1) how Gibson has shown the theme in The Miracle Worker, (2) what the message is that Gibson is trying to show us through this theme, (3) and how prejudice can change and affect our every day lives. Judging one another's skin color (whether they are black, white, or even mixed) is one of the main problems of prejudice.
