InThe Story of My Lifeby Helen Keller, Helen reveals details of some of the mostmemorable events in the first twenty two years of her life having been left blind and deaf after an illness when she was nineteen months old. She lifts "the veil that clings about my childhood like a golden mist." (Ch 1) Many of her stories show a real fighting spirit as she struggles to understand her "silent, dayless life." (ch2)Even from a young age, she learns "from life itself" (ch 7) which allows her to take each experience and learn from it rather than dwell on it. She takes solace in the garden "the paradise of my childhood" (ch 1) where she often goes after a temper tantrum. She admits that, due to her frustrations, her tantrums become so frequent that they "occur daily, sometimes hourly." (ch 3)In providing a character sketch of Helen Keller's fight to succeed, an event that portrays this is the unfortunate "Frost King" incident. Helen sends her friend from The Perkins' Institute, Mr Anagnos, a story she has written. it is agift for his birthday. Although Helen never recalls it, a similar story must have been read to herpreviously to the extent that her apparent "own" story is a plagiarised version of it. This has a profound effect on Helen and, as she remembers,"the winter of 1892 was darkened by the one cloud in my childhood's bright sky."(ch 14) Helen is devastated, embarrassed, confused and disillusioned and admits that "No child ever drank deeper of cup of bitterness." (Ch 14) She is only eleven and receives the support of her family although she loses Mr Anagnos' trust and friendship. This has such a devastating effect on her that she doubts whether, had she been older, she could have coped. She believes "it would have broken my spirit beyond repairing."(ch 14)Despite receiving assurances from the author of the original story,Helen is "tortured by the fear that what I write is not my own" and will remain cautious and aware every time she writes in the future. The very fact that she does go on to write and lecture are testament to her indomitable spirit. The fact that she could have so easily have excluded this incident fromThe Story of My Life" is further evidence of her purpose as she recognizesits contribution to her "life and education."

Helen Adams Keller was an American author, political activist and lecturer. She was the first deaf-blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree from Harvard. She set an example for thousands of deaf and blind persons to conquer their handicaps and attain miraculous achievements.

Helen Keller was born on June 27, 1880 at a plantation called Ivy Green in Tuscumbia. It was in Alabama state of the United States of America. Her father Captain Arthur H. Keller was a former officer of the Confederate Army. Her mother, Kate Adams Keller, was a cousin of Robert E. Lee. The Keller family originated from Switzerland. Helen Keller was not born blind and deaf. A mysterious disease left her deaf and blind.

The advent of Anne Sullivan was the greatest moment in the life of Helen Keller. The desire to express herself grew in her. Before the arrival of Miss Sullivan she used to communicate through few signs. Helen was a great fighter. She started learning to spell simple words lode ‘‘d-o-l-l’’, ‘‘pin’’, ‘‘hat’’ and few verbs like ‘‘sit’’, ‘‘stand’’ and ‘‘walk’’. She was thrilled when the mystery of language was revealed to her. She realised that everything had a name and each name gave birth to a thought. Through a slow and often painful process she progressed from learning to read to acquiring the skill of speaking. It was Miss Sullivan’s genius and Helen’s untiring devotion and patience that brought miraculous results.

Nothing could stop the deaf and blind girl from earning a bachelor degree from Harvard. But she had to wage a long struggle to get admission in Radcliffe College. She surprised the world when she became the first blind and deaf person to earn a bachelor degree. Helen Keller had a passion for reading. She loved ancient Greeks, Homer, Virgil, Shakespeare, Dickens. She was equally comfortable in French and German literature. Her pleasures and amusements were many and varied. She loved swimming, rowing, sailing and walking leisurely in the countryside. She loved visiting places. Her visits to Washington, Niagara and the World’s Fair broadened her knowledge and vision. Helen was fortunate to have the company of many great persons like Alexander Graham Bell, Mark Twain, Father Brooks and many others who shaped and made the story of her life.
