WORDS:200
NOVEL:THE STORY OF MY LIFE​

Answer 1

Alexander Graham Bell ('Graham' pronounced /ˈɡreɪ.əm/) (March 3, 1847 – August 2, 1922)[3] was a Scottish-born[N 2] scientist, inventor, engineer, and innovator who is credited with inventing and patenting the first practical telephone. He also founded the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T) in 1885.Bell's father, grandfather, and brother had all been associated with work on elocution and speech and both his mother and wife were deaf, profoundly influencing Bell's life's work.[8] His research on hearing and speech further led him to experiment with hearing devices which eventually culminated in Bell being awarded the first U.S. patent for the telephone in 1876.[N 3] Bell considered his invention an intrusion on his real work as a scientist and refused to have a telephone in his study.[9][N 4]

Many other inventions marked Bell's later life, including groundbreaking work in optical telecommunications, hydrofoils, and aeronautics. Although Bell was not one of the 33 founders[11] of the National Geographic Society, he had a strong influence on the magazine while serving as the second president from January 7, 1898, until 1903.

Answer 2

Alexander Graham Bell was a person of great wisdom and kindness. He understood Helen's likes and dislikes and stayed by her side in all tough situations. Bell advised Helen's parents to send her to attend speech classes at the Horace Mann School for the Deaf in Boston. And his advice had definitely given the fruit of a strong base to Helen in her career. Again it was on Dr.Bell's advice that Helen's father wrote Mr.Anagnos  and found Miss Anne Sullivan, a dedicated, understanding and caring teacher, to teach Helen. One of the most memorable times of Helen's life has always been the World Fair. Helen had learnt many things in this fair, thanks to Dr.Bell. He patiently taught the working of every single exhibit and helped in developing Helen's interest towards machines and technology. This was especially in the case of him explaining the way in which diamonds are mined to Helen.  Helen notes that Dr.Bell was a humorous person and a poet with an unlimited love for children, especially for the deaf. No wonder Helen has dedicated her book to Dr.Alexander Graham Bell. The dedication reads, "TO ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL; Who has taught the deaf to speak and enabled the listening ear to hear speech from the Atlantic to the Rockies, I DEDICATE This Story of My Life."
