Describe Helen Keller’s journey to Baltimore.

 

Helen was taken to Baltimore in order to show her to an eminent oculist. the journey was very pleasant. Helen made many friends in the journey. one lade gave her a box of shells which kept her busy for a long time. the conductor gave her his punching machine to play with. she amused herself for hours. by making funny little holes in bits of cardboard. Helen's aunt made her a big doll out of towels. it was a shapeless doll. the absence of eyes struck her the most. then suddenly she found her aunt's cape from which she pulled off 2 beads. these beads were sewn on the doll. Helen was overjoyed. so during the whole trip she didn't have a fit of temper.he first Christmas the little girl could remember was the one in 1887. It would shine in her memory until adulthood. She was awestruck the first time she realized that trees grew in parlors each December, their limbs laden with fruits and treats, waiting for children to pick them.

On Christmas Eve, the girl went to a party with other children in town and was overjoyed by the feeling of excitement brought on by chaos and lights. The children made a game of forming symbols in the girls hand, and she was happy they wanted to play with her. She had recently learned that Christmas was about giving, a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. The understanding that shone in her eyes evoked the emotion of her parents.

Her mother wept and gave thanks. Her father, a stoic man, was left speechless, the emotion obvious on his face.

For six previous Christmases, the girl had been unaware that there was a special day set aside to enjoy giving to others. Dec. 25 had been like every other day in her life: dark, silent days in which the only goal was to fulfill her wants and needs for food, shelter, comfort and sleep. She knew nothing else
