Question

Describe Helen keller's stay at the Perkins institute for blind in Boston?

Answer 1

Helen’s stay at Perkins Institute in May 1888 was full of joy and learning important lesson of life. No sooner had she reached there than she began making friends with the blind children of the institute. She felt so happy interacting with them as all of them knew manual alphabet. She felt as if she was in her own world.  Helen felt pain in her heart for the poor and deprived children as she interacted and played with them at the Perkins Institute. She forgot all her personal pain in the pleasure of their companionship.

Answer 2

When Helen reached the Perkins Institution, she started making friends with the little blind children. As they knew manual alphabet, Helen got really excited to communicate with them in her own language. She seemed that she was in her own country. Though she was informed about the blind children, but her own experience made it feel really different. She found out that one after the other child is deprived of the same precious gift. It was unique as she seemed happy and contented and so she lost all sense of pain in the pleasure of their company. One day spent with the blind children made her thoroughly feel at home.
