hey there buddy....
here's your answer....
the character sketch of helen Keller .. follows

Helen Keller's life is a study in courage, the power of the will, the intellect, intuition, and a sense of humor. Once she discovered the key to understanding what Miss Anne Sullivan was doing by spelling into her hand, Helen came out of her dark confusion and demonstrated an insatiable hunger for knowledge. She faced every challenge with courage, striving always to learn and to experience the world around her.

A perspicacious learner, Helen responded quickly to all that was taught to her. She became attuned to muscular changes in her teacher's hand or her mother's hand when she held them. When Helen felt these changes, she would ask, 'What is wrong? What bothers you? What do you see?" And so, the astute Helen learned to interpret the muscular movements and changes in her beloved ones' hands. She greatly enjoyed learning from Miss Sullivan, who often took her outdoors. She observes in her autobiography, ‘‘It was my teacher’s genius, her quick sympathy, her loving tact which made the first years of my education so beautiful.’’

In 1890, Helen learned to talk, but she had difficulty with the tone and volume of her voice. While she made some progress, Helen's voice never acquired a natural sound. Nevertheless, speaking was quite an achievement for Helen. Another accomplishment that Helen felt she had made was the publishing of a short story in the Perkins School newsletter. Unfortunately, Helen confused her memory of something that she had once read with her imagination. This unfortunate circumstance cost Helen the friendship of Mr. Anagnos, the director of the Perkins Institution.

A monumental time in Helen Keller's history is her enrollment at Radcliffe College. Miss Sullivan was crucial to Helen's success because there were no books in braille. Indeed, Miss Sullivan was so often the bridge between enlightenment and darkness. In 1894 Helen attended the Wright-Humason School for the Deaf, where she studied for two years. In 1896, Keller then enrolled in the Cambridge School for Young Ladies in preparation for her entrance into Radcliffe College, but there were some there who thought Helen was pushing herself. So, Helen dropped out. She was, nevertheless, able to pass the entrance exam for Radcliffe and went on to graduate despite all the hurdles placed before her when there were no books printed in braille.
