1.The irreparable loss
of sight and hearing was compensated by Providence by providing Helen Keller the company of
pristine nature. Natural beauty was abundant around her house. The Keller
homestead was quite near a rose- bower. Its old fashioned garden was the
paradise of her childhood. Before Miss Sullivan's arrival, this garden was the
place where Helen went to find comfort and hide her hot face in the cool leaves
and grass. Helen felt extremely happy in that garden of flowers, wandering
happily from spot to spot. She could recognize each vine and plant by touching
them. The clematis, drooping Jessamine, butterfly lilies were her constant
companions. But she liked the roses the most. She adored the fragrance of
these roses. 2. Helen's parents felt helpless with their inability to help her come out of her disabilities. Helen wanted to communicate; she felt extremely frustrated; they wanted to arrange for her education; but they lived a long way from any school for the blind or the deaf; nor anyone would come to such an out-of-the-way place as Tuscumbia. 3. Whenever Helen had a tantrum of frustration on account of being unable to express herself, she would go into her mother's arms where she would forget the cause of her tempest. 4. The first ray of hope came from Dickens' "American Notes." She read his account of Laura Bridgeman who was deaf and blind, yet had been educated. The second ray of hope came when her father heard about an eminent oculist who had been successful in many hopeless cases. So her parents at once decided to take Helen to Chisholm in Baltimore.
