Question

can u pls give a character sketch of martha washington?(the story of my life)

Answer 1

Martha Washington was a little coloured girl. She was the daughter of a cook who worked for the Keller family. Martha Washington and Helen were childhood companions who played, did mischief and enjoyed life together. Martha understood Helen's sign language and would do just as Helen wished her to do. Helen would usually take delight in dominating her in child's play. Both of them would spend a great time in the kitchen. They would knead dough balls, help in making ice-cream, grind coffee, and sometimes quarrel over cake-bowl. Once Helen and Martha secretly carried off the woodpile cake which the cook had just frosted, and ate every bit of it. Helen fell quite ill afterwards. Feeding the hens and turkeys were their favourite pastime. Sometimes they would indulge in mischief on each other too. Once Helen cut Martha's hair; and Martha was about to cut Helen's hair when Helen's mother saved her. Martha was a wonderful companion in Helen's early childhood.
