Question

describe helen’s long process of learning.

Answer 1

Helen's entry into the world of learning was facilitated by the unravelling of the mystery of language. As Helen learned the key to language, she felt eager to learn to use it. In the light of Helen's disability, language was more of a difficulty than a means to communicate. Children who could hear acquired language without any particular effort, the words falling from others' lips would be caught by them avidly. But for a deaf child they had to slowly and carefully acquire it and that was a painful process. Regardless of the difficulties, the result was wonderful and from gradually naming an object they advanced step by step to acquiring the full use of language. It was a long and arduous journey that Helen had to traverse from uttering her first stammered syllable to the sweep of thought in a line of Shakespeare. Initially when her teacher told her about a new thing, Helen asked very few questions as her ideas were vague and vocabulary inarticulate. But as her knowledge of things grew, she learned more and more words, her field of inquiry broadened and she would return again and again to the same subject, eager for further information. Sometimes a new word revived an image that some earlier experience had engraved on her mind.
