Question

Q. Describe Helen's parents as role model for other parents ?

Answer 1

Helen's parents are perfect role models of love, care, affection, and responsibilities. They didn't consider Helen as a burden on them. They were rather more worried about her education and well being. They made every effort to find if Helen could be treated medically.  Her mother was very much concerned regarding Helen's education. She was always requesting her husband to arrange for her education. It was she who saw the hope of the possibility of Helen's education while reading the account of Laura Bridgman. She wanted Helen to be educated like her. She also felt very sad on knowing that Dr Howe, who had taught Laura Bridgman, had died. She was always in search of finding out ways to make life of Helen more comfortable.

 Her father was also very much concerned about her. When he heard about an eminent oculist who had been successful in many hopeless cases. He at once decided to take Helen to Chisholm in Baltimore. He examined little Helen and expressed Helen's blindness could not be treated. He advised Helen's father to meet Dr. Graham Bell in Washington. Helen's father immediately took her to Dr. Bell. Dr. Bell referred him to Mr Anagnos, who promised him to arrange a special teacher for Helen. So Helen's parents left no stone unturned to provide the best of facilities for their disabled daughter.
