How did Helen pacify herself whenever she was sad or furious
Answers
There were only two sources of refuge that Helen went to for peace and solace from sadness and anger. The first was her mother, Mrs. Kate Adams Keller who was an extremely caring mother. Towards Helen, she was more caring and responsible. 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.
The second place of comfort for Helen was the garden at Keller homestead. It was completely covered with vines, climbing roses and honeysuckles. 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.
