Before October 1893 what was Helen pattern of studying different subjects?How did this pattern undergo a change later on?
Answers
Before October 1893, Hellen studied all the subjects herself without a definite plan. She read histories of different countries. She tried mastering over French without any aid as she knew a little bit about the language. She gave a considerable time for improving her speech. She would read aloud to Miss Sullivan and recited passages. After October 1893, when she recovered from fatigue and excitement of her visit to World's Fair, she had lessons on special subjects at fix hours. Now she had a proper plan for her lessons.
Explanation:
Halen had some problem with abstract concepts, as there was nothing to touch and feel. One day, Halen strings bead in a pattern of two of one kind and three of another subsequently. Whenever she made any mistake, Miss Sullivan corrected it. In the later period, Miss Sullivan touched her forehead and spelt out in Halen’s hand. Helen often found it difficult to find the right word or idiom to respond. In such situations, her teacher would provide her with the new words and urge her to use them for conversation.
