Question

anne sullivan was as remarkable as her student. elaborate

Answer 1

Helen Keller not only discusses her awakening into the world of communication, but also of the remarkable tenacity, wit, compassion, and intelligence of her teacher, Anne Sullivan. It is due to Anne's stubborn determination not to give up on Helen that Helen says she was able to finally have a break through. Many teachers had come and gone prior to Annie and so, figured Helen, so would Annie. This was not the case. The student could also talk about how the Colonel tried to dismiss her on many occasions because Annie was outspoken about the way that the family addressed and treated Helen. Standing up to someone in that position over her shows her great dedication to her student. Lastly, Annie Sullivan was daring to enter a field that was primarily held only by men.Giving a thanks for this useful answer..

Answer 2

Anne Sullivan had lost her sight at a very young age. Hence, she had no skill of reading, writing or sewing or to do any other work. Therefore she had to choose the profession of being a housemaid. She was unsuccessful at this job too. She got to know about the Perkins school for the blind in Boston and took admission in it. She began her studies on October 7, 1880. She worked hard and learned many things from school. Many of the eye operations were also conducted which brought some sight back to her. She graduated at the age of 20 years in June 1886. She remarked before leaving the school that "Fellow-graduates: duty bids us go forth into active life. Let us go cheerfully, hopefully, and earnestly, and set ourselves to find our special part. When we have found it, willingly and faithfully perform it; for every obstacle we overcome, every success we achieve tends to bring man closer to God and make life more as He would have it."
