There was, as Squealer was never tired of explaining, endless work in the supervision and
organisation of the farm. Much of this work was of a kind that the other animals were too
ignorant to understand. For example, Squealer told them that the pigs had to expend enormous
labours every day upon mysterious things called 'files,' 'reports,' 'minutes,' and 'memoranda."
These were large sheets of paper which had to be closely covered with writing, and as soon as
they were so covered, they were burnt in the furnace. This was of the highest importance for
the welfare of the farm, Squealer said.

there are two central themes in  the miracle worker: that the human spirit can triumph over even the most daunting of disabilities and that a dedicated teacher can transform the lives of those with whom he or she comes into contact. these inspirational themes have long been personified in the widely known true-life relationship between helen keller and annie sullivan, but  the miracle worker  also dramatizes collateral issues that extend beyond the particular case. underlying helen’s process of learning basic principles of what annie terms “obedience” (decorum, etiquette, and hygiene), there are more universal lessons of self-governance—the inculcation of self-restraint instead of willfulness, the development of self-discipline instead of self-indulgence. only when these lessons have been mastered can helen begin to acquire language—which, annie says, “is to the mind more than light is to the eye.”

it is the first choice bc it obviously says "home"
