Anne Sullivan

 Anne Sullivan

Anne Sullivan was the tutor of Helen Keller who taught her how to read in Braille and use a manual alphabet when Keller was born deaf and blind. Keller had difficulty being understood until Anne Sullivan helped her from the Perkins Institute of the Blind. Sullivan had been trained by the Institute and kept encouraging Keller. 

Sullivan did not give up on Keller who was able to persist in her vocation. Sullivan persevered with patience and determination knowing that she was making a positive difference in Keller's life. Keller and Sullivan were able to communicate due to Sullivan's instruction. 

Keller was able to persist and thrive cherishing education and learning. Due to the support of Anne Sullivan, Keller was able to be a spokeswoman for the American Foundation of the Blind. Keller would fight for the rights of the blind, individuals with physical disabilities, preach pacifism, and the importance of civil liberties. 

Anne Sullivan and Helen Keller were able to accomplish so much good and serve as inspiration to know that positivity is better than negativity and envy. Sullivan encouraged Keller, and Keller was able to have a positive life. We are able to acknowledge and appreciate that genuine empathy is important in life. Discouragements and envy are not needed.

 The Creators, Directors, and Producers of the Wizard of Oz

(Yesterday I found out that Garland may have been a dude from her later photographs. This would describe how even before the Honeymooners in the 1950s, there were trasvestites in Hollywood. Despite the finding, the film still describes how there are envious witches and sycophants who hate positive people. We are reminded to hate sin and not the individual. However we do need to avoid homosexuals and socialists.) The character of Dorothy described the need to be positive and encouraging. 

The Wizard of Oz was an amazing film because it described the truth of how envy exists. Dorothy was envied by two witches in the Wizard of Oz and stalked by the flying monkeys (The witches were not beautiful, rode on brooms, made poisoned potions, were green from envy, and were maddened by bitterness. This describes the truth of how idolatry leads to bitterness and a decrease of beauty. This is in stark contrast to the lies of post-modernism that say that witches are "benevolent", "positive", "empathetic", and "beautiful" while they envy, insult, cause unnecessary strife, and hate others). It is interesting how much truth the Wizard of Oz spoke about how envy exists and how it is possible to persevere despite opposition. Dorothy is hated and envied by two witches yet persists with enthusiasm and encouragement.

Dorothy meets a lion without courage, a tin man without a brain, and a scarecrow without a spine. Dorothy befriends the lion, tin man, and scarecrow who improve along the journey to discover that it is possible to improve and get better. Dorothy encourages the lion who gains confidence and courage, the tin man who understands the importance of thinking, and the scarecrow gets a backbone. The beautiful story tells us that it is possible to persevere when we decide to have courage, use our brain, and stand up for what we believe in. 

The Wizard of Oz is an American film that was made in 1939 yet has been cherished by Americans and individuals of all countries. The Wizard of Oz describes that it is possible to persist with courage and motivation. While the Wizard of Oz did not win the Academy Award in 1939 due to fierce competition with Gone With the Wind (another amazing film with a strong protagonist and that stated truth about how unnecessary racism and war is), it did win an Academy Award for Best Song, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". Everything about the character of Dorothy was amazing and describes the importance of positivity and encouragement instead of using negativity and envy to bring people down.
