To provide evidence of the possible difficulties the narrator and his father encounter in Dragonwings, the film would need to include images of

A more diverse population, including Chinese immigrants.

Explanation:

Dragonwings is basically a work of historical fiction which combined Chinese folklore that deals with dragons, real historical events such as the immigration of the Chinese to California, the great earthquake that occurred in 1906, and also the story of a father and son that wanted to fly a plane.

In summary, the answer to the question will be that: the film would need to include images of a more diverse population which includes Chinese immigrants.

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.”
