HERE IS YOUR ANSWER HOPE IT HELPS YOU!

When Keller was 19 months old, she contracted an illness that left her blind and deaf.She was imprisoned in a dark, silent world, and no one in her family could reach her. Kellers parents hired 20-year-old Anne Sullivan to perform the seemingly hopeless task of educating Keller. Sullivan was the perfect person for the job. Visually impaired herself, Sullivan was empathetic, patient, resourceful, and persevering.

Sullivan first tried to teach Keller basic language skills by using her finger to spell words on Kellers hand, but Keller did not understand that each object had a different name. A break through occurred on April 5, 1887. Sullivan led Keller to a water pump and splashed water on one of Kellers hands while spelling the word water on the other hand.

Both Annie Sullivan and Helen Keller were nurturing maternal figures; the former filled that role for the latter, who in turn succeeded that position for the blind and deaf. Although Sullivan is not related to Helen Keller by blood, the former became her students closest family, companion, and friend throughout the Helens life. The care and understanding that the lost and temperamental Helen needed were provided by Annie Sullivan, who was able to accept her student as no other family member did before her appearance, because Annie suffered under similar circumstances as a child and could identify with her pupil. She did not have to face the disappointment and guilt that Mrs. Keller had to endure and, consequently, could help Helen as an unfortunate individual extending her assistance to a fellow sufferer. Annie was able to overlook Helens handicaps and tantrums and saw beyond these outward qualities a frightened and isolated child, who was imprisoned in a void of darkness and emptiness where no light or sound ever entered, desperately trying to break free from her bonds. Her attempts to bring liberation and light to this frightened child proved to be successful.
