Question

Describe the passionate outburst of helen when she was handed ragged doll by her aunt and by her new teacher

Answer 1

Helen's aunt gave her a doll made out of towels. It was a shapeless thing which had no nose, mouth, ears or eyes. The absence of the eyes struck Helen more than the other defects. She repeatedly pointed this out to everybody but it seemed that nobody could provide the doll with eyes. So she bent down and found her aunt's cape which was trimmed with large beads. She pulled out two beads and indicated that she wanted her to sew them for the eyes of the doll. After it was done she was extremely happy.

When Miss Sullivan first came and gave Helen a doll and tried to teach her by spelling the word on her hand Helen could not understand. She was so angry that she broke the doll.
