Questions to ask Anne sullivan about helen keller's life
Answers
Anne Sullivan's role in Helen Keller's life was her dedicated caretaker, teacher, defender, and life-long friend. Everywhere that Helen went she was accompanied by Anne, whom she called "Teacher." Anne taught Helen how to communicate using sign language, and this had a transformative impact on the young girl, as it gave her complete access to the world and human connection.
Without Anne Sullivan, Helen Keller would have been walled into a dark, hopeless world. Miss Sullivan was Helen's lifeline.
It was the stalwart and persistent Miss Sullivan who managed to figuratively and literally lead Helen to water. Water was the object which allowed Helen to make the connection between the spelling of the word water into the palm of her hand and the object named. The expression "water is life" also applies to Helen's mental connection with the signing and the object. It was then that her fruitful life began. Because she understood that Anne was spelling the word for the substance spilling from the pump, Helen then was able to leave her self-contained life and go out into the world, where she could interact with others and learn.
