Interpretation In Favor Of Books The Story of My Life

When she was 19 months old, Helen Keller (1880–1968) suffered a severe illness that left her blind and deaf. Not long after, she also became mute. Her tenacious struggle to overcome these handicaps-with the help of her inspired teacher, Anne Sullivan-is one of the great stories of human courage and dedication. In this classic autobiography, first published in 1903, Miss Keller recounts the first 22 years of her life, including the magical moment at the water pump when, recognizing the connection between the word "water" and the cold liquid flowing over her hand, she realized that objects had names. Subsequent experiences were equally noteworthy: her joy at eventually learning to speak, her friendships with Oliver Wendell Holmes, Edward Everett Hale and other notables, her education at Radcliffe (from which she graduated cum laude), and-underlying all-her extraordinary relationship with Miss Sullivan, who showed a remarkable genius for communicating with her eager and quick-to-learn pupil.

Crit About Books The Story of My Life

When I learned about Helen Keller, the impression I was given of her was that her life was ~so miserable~ until she was graciously granted a teacher who showed her the world and how to communicate. This book posits Helen's life as that of a blessing, one where she had moments of hardship, but she still felt guided by an excitement for life and experiencing new things rather than being revolted by them.This book was so fascinating because it painted a different picture of a historical figure I

The Story of My Life, Helen Keller The Story of My Life, first published in 1903, is Helen Keller's autobiography detailing her early life, especially her experiences with Anne Sullivan. Portions of it were adapted by William Gibson for a 1957 Playhouse 90 production, a 1959 Broadway play, a 1962 Hollywood feature film, and Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Black featuring Amitabh Bachchan in the role of Anne Sullivan. The book is dedicated to inventor Alexander Graham Bell. The dedication reads, "TO

I have always held Helen Keller in high regard. How can you not, really? She is a remarkable woman. I did a report on her in grade school, and though I forgot many facts of her life over the years, what I learned of her perseverance and strength of spirit left a lasting impression on me.Helen Keller's spirit certainly shines in this short but beautifully written memoir, which Helen wrote when she was just 22 (and, worth noting, attending Radcliffe College).I think most know that Helen lost her

To All My Goodreads Friends and to Others Who Have Enjoyed My ReviewsI wish to thank you all!!I have been struggling with vision loss for some time, more in the last year. While I believe I can still write reviews and post them, so I am told, I have been struggling in the last two months with reading other peoples reviews, and so I really dont feel as though I can just go through and like a review without reading it first. The last week has been the hardest for me.I have glaucoma and myopic

One of the most inspiring people in the world would be Helen Keller. Born blind and deaf and lucky to have survived, she soon was able to fluently communicate and rise over her disabilities. It wasn't easy considering that the people of the century she lived in were often ignorant, but she proved to be a very talented individual. Her story is amazing and an interesting read, too.

2.5 StarsWhen I think of Helen Keller, I think of the movie The Miracle Worker- Anne Sullivan helping Helen achieve understanding and independence. It was brutal to watch at times- how much patience and energy was involved.This book glossed over any struggle she had. Miss Sullivan arrived and presto she was learning. It was like it occurred overnight, which I know it did not.She writes of her love of nature, of books and of learning. What was disconcerting was the way she wrote about the world-
