Question

a teacher canplay significant role in the life of a student. explain with reference to mrs sullivan

Answer 1

According to the above written expression,  Miss Sullivan indeed played a very significant and pivotal role in Helen’s life. To express her gratitude, she paid homage to her great teacher, who was no ordinary teacher. The world is full of ordinary teachers who just teach shallowly. Miss Sullivan touched the depths of Helen's soul and brought light to her darkened world. 

The day she arrived at Helen's house, Helen called that day the most important day of her life. Helen compared the arrival of her teacher to the shining of 'light of love' in her darkened life. Miss Sullivan took unprecedented pains to teach Helen manual alphabet. Since Helen was suffering from hearing as well as visual disabilities, Miss Sullivan really had to work very hard to teach Helen the alphabet. In the 7 chapter, Helen praises Miss Sullivan in the following words: "Thus I learned from life itself. At the beginning I was only a mass of possibilities. It was my teacher who unfolded and developed them. When she came, everything about me breathed of love and joy and was full of meaning." It was Miss Sullivan's genius, her sympathy, her loving tact which made the first years of Helen's education so beautiful. Miss Sullivan made learning easy and fun-filled for Helen.
