hey can anyone telll me frost king incident
Answers
Helen had written a book called "autumn leaves". When she read this out to her friends and amily,they asked her if she wrote it be herself. This took her by shock,as she had never imagined that it wasnt her own as it came so naturally to her. She was suggested to change the title into " The Frost King. "
She copied the story and sent it to her dear friend, Mr.Anagnos for his birthday, who was greatly impressed by the story. Mr.Anagnos then published the story in one of the Perkins institution report. Then , Helen was accused of copying the story from Miss Margaret t. canby's "the frost fairies."
Everybody looked at her with suspicion,except her dear friends. Anagnos believed her for a while and then switched sides. this made her all the more sad. Apparently Mrs Hopkins had read many books to Helen when Miss Sullivan was on vacation and the frost fairies was probably one of them.
Answer:
helen had written a story called the frostk ing which she had sent to mr. anagnos of the perkins institution for the blind. the latter was delighted with it and published the story in one of the institiutional reports.however it was discovered that a story similar to her frost king called frost fairies had already been published by miss margaret T.canby had appeared before helen was born,in a book called birdie and his friends.the two stories were so much like in thought and language that it was evident that miss canby's story had been read to helen and that her story was a case of plagiarism.a court of investigation was constituted that consisted of eight people ,four blind,four people with vision and votes were cast to arrive at a decision .Mr.Anagnos who had supported helen,initially changed his track and voted against her.the incident scared helen in such a way for a long time ,she could not produce any creative work.She became excessively scrupulous about every thing tat she wrote and the thought that wherever she wrote was not her original work,tormented her misss sullivan had to console her and allay her fears in every possible way in order to restore the confidence that helen had lost.Eventually,Helen resumed her writing,after being urged on by her teacher
