THE STRUGGLES HELEN KELLER OVERCAME
Helen Keller is a remarkable woman. She was put through so much in her life and overcame obstacles that some might not understand. Reading her books and hearing the stories about how she slept and night and tossed and turned, it will give you a different perspective. Her life was filled with silence and darkness until Anne came along. Their friendship grew and grew; Anne helped Helen through her darkest hours and Helen did the same in return. Helen Keller had such a huge impact on others at such a young age. By the age of 10, she had ships named after her. She wrote books, gave lectures, and spoke to 25 different nations. Her books were translated into 50 different languages (Stuckey). Her actions …show more content…
Helen was difficult to handle at the time because she had a lot of frustration and was very spoiled. Anne knew how to get under Helen’s skin, and Helen knew how to get on Anne’s last nerves. After a few hard days of work, nothing was working and Anne was trying her hardest to stay positive. Anne decided to try and use communication through sign language in the middle of Helen’s palm. Helen was becoming more frustrated because she didn’t understand what Anne was trying to teach her. Helen understood what Anne was doing when she put water in her hand (Fenney) and spelt out the word W-A-T-E-R. Her learning process was rapid and Anne saw something great in Helen. Helen was learning so much at a young age that by the time she was three years old, she had learned the alphabet and learned how to read braille. When she was 5 years old she was able to determine which clothes were hers. She was learning things at a remarkable pace and she was wanting to learn more, so she did just that. Anne challenged Helen since the age of six and then Helen was sent to Baltimore. When she was ten years old she wanted to learn how to speak. Helen decided when she was at the age of eleven to send a piece to the Perkins Institute that she had wrote. It ended up being published into their schools newsletter. Later that year, she attended the Boston Perkins Institute where she met a deaf-blind girl. The young girl helped Helen learn how to read lips and she was able to distinguish accents. Helen Keller had been a very strong headed woman. She believed in speaking up for herself, and at the age of thirteen she created committees in her own home town church. She was changing the lives and hearts of the people around
