Give a brief sketch of the narrator's family from Helen Keller's The Story of My Life.
Answers
Helen's father who is most loving and indulgent is descended from casper keller from Switzerland who settled in America-Maryland.
Grandmother on the keller side was the grand-daughter of a colonial governor and her father himself Aruthur H Keller a captain in the Confederate army.
Helen's mother is considerable years younger than her husband and is in fact his second wife. She is descndded from the Adam's although her mother's intention was for it to be Everett.
Helen has siblings from her father's first marriage but they receive little mention. Her younger sister Mildred becomes her firm friend but not before Helen is returned to my human heritage. Helen sees Mildred as more of an interference than a person taking her mother's time and effort.
