Question

I felt approaching footsteps. I stretched out my hand as I supposed it was my mother
Someone took it, and I was caught up and held close in the arms of her who had come to reveal all
things to me, and, more than all things else, to love me.
The morning after my teacher came she led me into her room and gave me a doll. The
little blind children at Perkins Institution had sent it and Laura Bridgman had dressed it, but I did not
know this until afterward. When I played with it a little while, Miss Sullivan slowly spelled into my
hand the word "d-o-1-1." I was at once interested in this finger play and tried to imitate it. When I
finally succeeded in making the letters correctly I was flushed with childish pleasure and pride.
Running downstairs to my mother I held up my hand and made the letters for doll. I did not know
that I was spelling a word or even thal words existed, I was simply making my fingers go in monkey-
like imitation. In the days that followed I learned to spell in this uncomprehending way a great many
words, among them pin, hat, cup, and a few verbs like sit, stand and walk. But my teacher had been
with me several weeks before I understood that everything has a name.
One day, while I was playing with my new doll, Miss Sullivan put my big rag doll into my
lap also, spelled 'd-o-I-I and tried to make me understand that 'd-o-I-I applied to both. Earlier in the
day we had a tussle over the words 'm-u-g' and 'w-a-t-e-r'. Miss Sullivan had tried to impress it upon
me that 'm-u-g'is mug and that'w-a-t-e-r'is water, but I persisted in confounding the two. In despair
she had dropped the subject for the time, only to renew it at the first opportunity. I became impatient
at her repeated attempts and, seizing the new doll, I dashed it upon the floor. I was keenly delighted
when I felt the fragments of the broken doll at my feet. Neither sorrow nor regret followed my
passionate outburst. I had not loved the doll. In the still, dark world in which I lived there was no
strong sentiment or tenderness. I felt my teacher sweep the fragments to one side of the hearth,
and I had a sense of satisfaction that the cause of my discomfort was removed. She brought me my
hat, and I knew I was going out into the warm sunshine. This thought, if a wordless sensation may
be called a thought, made me hop and skip with pleasure.
