GRAHAM BELL
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."

KATE ADAMS KELLER

Helen had contracted an illness which closed her eyes and ears and plunged her into the unconsciousness of a new-born child. It was called an acute congestion of the stomach and brain. It was from this period that Helen remembered the tenderness with which her mother tried to soothe her in her wailing hours of fret and pain. She tried to placate her child as Helen woke from sleep and turned her eyes to find her vision getting dimmer. Her mother succeeded in making Helen understand a good deal about different kinds of everyday things and Helen always knew when she wished her to bring something. Helen owed to her all the loving wisdom that was bright and good. Helen was extremely attached to her mother, she was also jealous of her sister because she thought of her as an intruder between mother and daughter. Kate was someone whom Helen admired and loved deeply, Helen revered her mother.
