Question

HELEN KELLER 1) Attempt a charactor sketch of Gilman?

Answer 1

Mr Arthur Gilman, the principle of Cambridge school of young Ladies, was a thoughtful person and a kind teacher. Helen met him when she joined Cambridge while preparing to gain admission into Radcliffe. He helped Helen in many ways. He not only taught her but also interpreted texts for her. He was her mentor and her guide. He generously made concessions to allow Helen’s sister Mildred to study in Cambridge. He read texts with her like Shakespeare’s ‘As you like it’. He constantly stoked Helen’s interest in studies and kept her motivated throughout her course. But their friendship fell apart due to the difference of opinion with Miss Sullivan.
