I already know the definition; i don't know where to find it in the play.

Did you read this at all??
"xposition
The introductory material which gives the setting, creates the tone, presents the characters, and presents other facts necessary to understanding the story."
Would that be scene one of the play??
And yes, I did read it

Of course, I'd be happy to help you find the exposition of the play "The Miracle Worker"! Exposition is the part of a story that provides background information, introduces the characters, and sets up the main conflict. To locate the exposition, you'll need to identify the key elements within the play that establish these details.
"The Miracle Worker" is a famous play written by William Gibson, based on the extraordinary true story of Helen Keller and her teacher, Annie Sullivan. Here's how you can identify the exposition:
1. Setting: Pay attention to the opening scenes to establish the time and place where the story takes place. In "The Miracle Worker," the story is set in Tuscumbia, Alabama, in the late 1880s.
2. Characters: The main characters in the play are Helen Keller, Annie Sullivan, Helen's parents (Captain Keller and Kate Keller), and other supporting characters. Look for their introductions and initial interactions with each other.
3. Background information: The exposition may provide details about Helen Keller's condition as a blind and deaf child, her isolation from the world around her, and the desperate need for someone to teach her to communicate.
4. Initial conflict: Look for the first hint of the main conflict that will drive the story forward. In "The Miracle Worker," the initial conflict arises when Annie Sullivan arrives to teach Helen and faces resistance from both Helen and her family.
By analyzing these elements in the play, you should be able to pinpoint the pivotal scene or scenes that establish the exposition and set up the main conflict. It's worth noting that different adaptations or performances may present the exposition in slightly different ways, so it's essential to pay attention to the specific version you are studying or watching.
