Miss
Sullivan was an extraordinary teacher. She touched the depths of Helen's soul and
brought light to her darkened world. She was a teacher at Perkins Institute. Mr. Anagnos offered her a teaching job to teach Helen. She was partially blind and had undergone treatment for the same. This was the reason she could understand Helen's needs so well.
The day she arrived at Helen's house, Helen called that day the most important
day of her life. Helen compared the arrival of her teacher to the shining of
'light of love' in her darkened life.
Miss Sullivan took unprecedented pains to
teach Helen manual alphabet. Since Helen was suffering from hearing as well as
visual disabilities, Miss Sullivan really had to work very hard to teach Helen
the alphabet. Initially Helen did not accept all her explanations, techniques
and methodology, but after Miss Sullivan won Helen’s confidence, Helen had
complete faith in her. Miss Sullivan understood Helen thoroughly. She
knew how to make things clear to her. Whether it was teaching her the
difference between ‘w-a-t-e-r’ and ‘m-u-g’ or teaching her the word ‘d-o-l-l’
for both the dolls, Miss Sullivan knew the methodology.
In
the 7 chapter, Helen praises Miss Sullivan in the following words: "Thus I
learned from life itself. At the beginning I was only a mass of possibilities.
It was my teacher who unfolded and developed them. When she came, everything
about me breathed of love and joy and was full of meaning." It was Miss
Sullivan's genius, her sympathy, her loving tact which made the first years of
Helen's education so beautiful. Miss Sullivan made learning easy and fun-filled
for Helen.
Miss
Sullivan stood by Helen during her challenges and ordeals. When the dark clouds
of Frost King incident darkened her already dark world, she stood by her as
light; at Cambridge school, she worked very hard to help Helen cope up with the
stress of the academics. Even at Radcliffe college she tried to lessen Helen’s
hardships.
