The Story of My Life by Helen Keller, Helen reveals details of some of the most memorable events in the first twenty two years of her life having been left blind and deaf after an illness when she was nineteen months old. She lifts "the veil that clings about my childhood like a golden mist." Many of her stories show a real fighting spirit as she struggles to understand her "silent, dayless life." Even from a young age, she learns "from life itself" which allows her to take each experience and learn from it rather than dwell on it. She takes solace in the garden "the paradise of my childhood" where she often goes after a temper tantrum. She admits that, due to her frustrations, her tantrums become so frequent that they "occur daily, sometimes hourly."
It can be viewed from the following incidents
(A) Once she pour water on her apron and spread it out to dry before the fire was flickering on the sitting room hearth the apron did not dry quickly so she drew nearer and threw it right over the hot ashes the fire leaped into life and encircled her she made a terrified noise that brought Vini her nurse except her hands and hairs she was not burned
(B) One morning she locked he mother in the pantry where she was obliged to remain three hrs there as the servants were in the detached part of the house she kept pounding one the while the Helen sat on the porch steps and laughed with a glee this was the most naughty prank she convinced
(C) After her teacher Miss Sullivan came to her she locked her in the room . she went upstairs she locked the door where her teacher was sitting and hide the under the wardrobe in the hall she could not be induced where the key was her father obliged to get a ladder and take miss Sullivan out through out the window much to my delight
