ANNIE: I wanted to teach her what language is. I wanted to teach her yes.

KELLER: You will have time.

ANNIE: I don’t know how. I know without it to do nothing but obey is—no gift, obedience without understanding is a—blindness, too. Is that all I’ve wished on her?

Answer:

She is not satisfied with what she has taught Helen.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a story about how Annie taught Hellen Keller, the first deaf-blind person who graduated from Univerisity, how to talk, understand, and give meaning to words. Helen`s family didn`t have faith that Helen will ever live as an average person, and on the contrary, she did so much more than that. The main reason for the beginning of it was having Annie beside her and Annie`s unbreakable will to really teach this little girl basic stuff about life and everything beyond that.

In the given excerpt, Annie gives us an impression of a person who has strict rules about her efficiency. Helen`s family might be satisfied with the fact that Annie taught Helen to clean herself, dress, etc, but Annie knows that is not what is really important for a person to grow. She wants to open the doors of the whole world of knowledge for Helen, not just basics. Helen`s family kinda spoiled her, but she was just a child and children need discipline to physically grow and that was how Annie tried to educate Helen and she succeeded in it.
