Helen Keller
1. I thought it was a well written narrative but its just a lot to comprehend because its hard to imagine both not being able to see and not being able to hear.
2. I thought it was very interesting the way Helen learned new words and their meanings. I cant imagine trying to learn anything if i was deaf and blind.
3. I was suprised that Helen was able to learn words and relate them to feelings and objects.
4. It did not change my outlook on Helen Keller only because ive heard her amazing story and have still never been able to completely understand what it takes to do what she did while being blind and deaf.
5. Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog, when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness shut you in, and the great ship, tense and anxious, groped her way toward the shore with plummet and sounding-line, and you waited with beating heart for something to happen?
In the still, dark world in which I lived there was no strong sentiment or tenderness.
As the cool stream gushed over one hand she spelled into the other the word water, first slowly, then rapidly.
6. It's a lot different when you have a first hand experience and are able to account for vivid details of what happened. When someone else is telling the story that element of detail is eliminated.
