how are friends according to Helen the greatest blessing?
Answers
i found something that might be helpful-
HELEN EXPLAINED THAT SOME OF THEM WERE FAMOUS AND SOME WERE NOT. SHE MENTIONED THAT SHE "DISLIKE PEOPLE WHO TRY TO TALK DOWN TO HER UNDERSTANDING." HELEN THEN WENT ON TO DESCRIBE SOME OF THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PEOPLE WHO SHE CALLED FRIENDS OR HAD MET. SHE SHARED HER THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS ABOUT GOD. MANY OF THOSE BELIEFS WERE INFLUENCED BY BISHOP BROOKS. HE TAUGHT HER THAT "GOD IS LOVE."
DESCRIPTIONS OF SPECIFIC FRIENDS OF HELEN MADE UP THE REST OF THE CHAPTER. ONE NOTABLE PERSON WHO WAS A DEAR FRIEND OF HELEN KELLER'S WAS ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL. HE TOLD HER ABOUT HIS EXPERIMENTS AND THEY EVEN FLEW KITES TOGETHER. SHE VISITED HIM AT HIS HOME IN CAPE BRETON, NOVA SCOTIA. HELEN ALSO WENT ON THE DESCRIBE THE PEOPLE SHE MET IN NEW YORK CITY. SHE ENDED THE CHAPTER AND THE BOOK BY STATING:
"... IT IS MY THAT MY FRIENDS HAVE MADE THE STORY OF MY LIFE."
