Blindness is a strict term meaning to be unable to see even with glasses (Dahl). Blindness is a condition that someone can get or be born with (Dahl). There are two types of blindness that someone get from physically hurting someone's eyes, one is called “temporary blindness” and the other is called “permanent blindness” (Dahl). Temporary blindness is a scratch or small cut on the eye that inflicts pain but goes away if treated correctly (Dahl). Permanent blindness is if the small scrape gets infected, or if someone damages their eye so badly that it is impossible to fix. The other way to get it is to get it is from There genes (Dahl).

When he had arrived, his father gave him a present, it was a walking cane that his father had carved. At the school he learned how to read and write plus he made a few friends. One day there was a guest at the school his name was Robert Johnson, and he was a General in the United States military (Freedman 14). Mr. Johnson had created a way for soldiers to talk at night without making a sound. It was called sonography many of the soldiers could not figure it out, neither could the children at the school, they thought it was to hard but Louis wanted to learn it so he did
