charactersketch of Helen keller's father
Answers
Helen remembers Captain Keller as a loving father who takes great pleasure in pleasing his daughter. He is proud of his garden and grows the best grapes, berries, watermelons and strawberries and Helen is always the first to taste the sweet, ripe grapes. He knows that Helen also loves the garden, "the paradise of my childhood" (ch 2) and relsihes leading her through the garden.
He is also an accomplished hunter and a gracious host to regular guests. As a newspaper editor, Helen, as a blind and deaf girl, is often perplexed by his work as, even when she puts his glasses on, she can still not conclude what he might be doing and only years later can she understand his occupation. He also tells Helen, after she has learnt the manual alphabet, thus setting "my spirit free," anecdotes which Helen recalls at "opportune moments," (ch 2) thus bringing her father much delight.
A breakthrough for the family, after being "grieved and perplexed (ch 3) comes when Helen's father takes her to see a Dr Chisolm who then refers them to Dr Alexander Graham Bell and he is the first step towards "the door through which I should pass from darkness into light." (ch 3)

here's ur answer...
Mr. Arthur H. Keller, Helen’s father was a captain in the Confederate Army. Kate Adams, Helen’s mother was his second wife and many years younger to him. He was a perfect gentleman who was devoted to his family. He was a renowned hunter and shot. He was known for his hospitality. He loved gardening and the watermelons and strawberries raised by him were in great demand. Often he would narrate stories to Helen which she liked considerably. The news of his sudden death after a short illness in i896 left her dazed and forlorn.
Her father was also very much concerned about her. When he heard about an eminent oculist who had been successful in many hopeless cases, he at once decided to take Helen to Chisholm in Baltimore. He examined little Helen and expressed Helen's blindness could not be treated. He advised Helen's father to meet Dr. Graham Bell in Washington. Helen's father immediately took her to Dr. Bell. Dr. Bell referred him to Mr. Anagnos, who promised to arrange a special teacher for Helen. So Helen's parents left no stone unturned to provide the best of facilities for their disabled daughter.
Helen's parents were perfect role models of love, care, affection, and responsibilities. They didn't consider Helen as a burden on them. They were rather more worried about her education and well-being. They made every effort to find the ways and means to have Helen treated and educated.
