Answer 1

Character sketch of Helen KellerHelen Keller  is considered as one of the heroic figures who had overcome extreme hardship in order to achieve her life time goals and aims of life. Though she found herself completely drowned is silence and darkness she began to learn to read and write mainly due to her persistence and perseverance. It is because of the  support of her teacher and her  parents. She always craved (longed ) to communicate with the world around and get connected to them. She loved the outdoors and longed to experience it .By the brilliant use of words and concepts  she could not only understand the physical world  but also the world of concepts, ideas and emotions.In The Story of My Life by Helen Keller, Helen reveals details of some of the most memorable 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. 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 a gift for his birthday. Although Helen never recalls it, a similar story must have been read to her previously 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 from The Story of My Life" is further evidence of her purpose as she recognizes its contribution to her "life and education."She is a lover of nature  which is seen from her love for flora and fauna   and also her visit to the Niagara falls and exploring her garden all the time.She derived pleasure and inspiration in the company of woods ,nature ,theatres, actors, crops, animals people, historical and geographical facts. she developed a deep desire to compete with the hearing and the seeing .reading alone her pleasure but she enjoyed out door sports like swimming, canoeing, rowing and sailing. Spending time in the company of friends, their children and actors  gave her utmost delight .the poor dwellings in the country side touched her the most. Museums and art stores  inspired her by way of touch to learn the various actions feelings, sentiments, beauty and emotionsHer handicap never robbed her of her happiness- she had a sixth sense – a soul sense that sees, hears ,feels and all in one.
