Chapter 1
Helen Keller was born on June 27, 1880 in Tuscumbia, a little town of northern Alabama. The family on her father’s side descended from Casper Keller, a native of Switzerland, who settled in Maryland. Her grandfather, Caspar Keller’s son, also acquired large tracts of land in Alabama and finally settled there.The house was covered with vines, climbing roses and honeysuckles.
Chapter 2-
In the initial months after her illness, Helen either sat in her mother’s lap or cling to her dress when she went about doing her household chores. She touched every object and observed every motion thus enabling her to understand the outer world. She started communicating using signs.
Chapter 3-
With the passage of time, Helen started feeling uncomfortable and inadequate with her sign language. She often underwent outbursts of passion and generally broke down in tears and physical exhaustion. Her parents were deeply grieved to see her in such condition and had lost all hope of getting her taught as they lived in out of the way place as Tuscumbia. But Dickens’ ‘American Notes’ brought a ray of hope. Her mother read about the story of Laura Bridgman who was deaf and blind yet had been educated. But Dr. Howe, who had discovered the ways to teach such children had been dead many years.
Chapter 4-
The day Miss Sullivan arrived was the most important day in Helen’s life. It was March 3,1887 and Helen was around seven years old. On that day, she could feel that something important was going to happen as there was a lot of to and fro in the house. Then Miss Anne Manefield Sullivan arrived who gave her a doll. The children at the Perkins Institution had sent it for her. When she had played with it a little while, Miss Sullivan slowly spelled the world ‘d-o- 1-T which Helen tried to imitate. Later, she learned to spell pin, cup, sit, stand, walk, mug, water, etc. Miss Sullivan taught her the word ‘water’ in a different way.
Chapter 5-
The arrival of Miss Sullivan filled Helen’s life with confidence and joy. She kept on teaching her something or the other. Her next chapter was nature. She took her to the fields, to the banks of Tennesse River to learn about nature. Helen started enjoying the world she lived in. Miss Sullivan made her feel beauty in the woods, blades of grass, birds, flowers, in fact almost everything.
Chapter 6-
After learning a few words, Helen was eager to learn how to use them. She knew her vocabulary was insufficient but as she learned more and more words, her field of enquiry widened. She was always eager to know something more. One such word was ‘love’, she wanted to know the meaning of this word. Miss Sullivan tried to teach her the meaning by kissing her, by gently holding her but somehow she didn’t understand it. But one day suddenly when the sun shone after brief showers, she felt the meaning of love.
Chapter 7-
The next step in Helen’s education was learning to read. For this purpose, her teacher gave her slips of cardboard which had raised letters printed on them and each printed word stood for something like an object, act or a quality. There was a frame also in which she could arrange the words in little sentences. Helen started arranging words like ‘doll-is-on-bed’, ‘girl-is-in-wardrobe’, etc. After that she took the book ‘Reader for Beginners’ and looked for the words she knew. Thus she began to read also.
Chapter 8
Helen kept on climbing the steps of learning under the expert guidance of Miss Sullivan until Christmas approached. It was her first Christmas with Miss Sullivan. Both of them prepared surprises for all others. Helen’s greatest amusement and happiness lay in the mystery that surrounded the gifts which she was to receive. Her curiosity was further aroused by her friends. She kept on playing the guessing game with Miss Sullivan.
Chapter 9
In May, 1888, Helen visited Boston with Miss Sullivan. The journey to Boston was very different from her journey to Baltimore which she had made two years before. She sat quietly beside Miss Sullivan who told her about everything that she saw out of the car-window. She told her about the beautiful Tennessee River, the great cotton-fields, the hills, woods, laughing negroes-in fact each and everything. Helen took her rag doll Nancy also to Boston. On the way, she forced Nancy, the doll, to eat remains of mud pies which covered her with dust. She was carried away to give a bath at the Perkins Institution which left her in a heap of cotton
Chapter 10
The Perkins Institution used to close for the summer. It was almost time for the summer vacation and it was decided that Helen and her teacher would spend their vacation at Brewstar, on cape cod with Mrs. Sophia Hopkins-a matron at the same institution. Helen was delighted when she heard about her vacation. Actually, she had planned to make her wish come true and her wish was to touch the mighty sea and feel it roar. On reaching there, she was helped into the bathing suit.

Chapter-1
Helen was born on 27th June, 1880 in Tuscumbia, a
little town of northern Alabama in USA. Nineteen months after her birth, Helen
fell ill which left her with visual and hearing disabilities.
Chapter 2
Helen could not communicate with anyone except her own sign
language until she became seven years old. Helen’s disabilities often annoyed her and she
lost her temper quite often. She would often kick her nurse Ella. Martha
Washington, the coloured girl was her childhood companion. Together they had
lots of fun doing mischief and pranks. Helen got herself in many precarious
situations owing to her inability to see and hear. Helen felt jealous of her
sister Mildred and even threw her once out of her cradle.
Chapter 3
Helen’s parents had an intense wish to educate their
disabled daughter. Helen’s mother came to know about Laura Bridgeman who had
similar disabilities as Helen and who had been successfully taught. Helen’s
father took Helen to Baltimore to see an eye-specialist with the hope of
getting Helen treated. She enjoyed the trip and behaved herself throughout the
journey. Dr. Chisholm expressed his inability to treat Helen. However, he
suggested the family to meet Dr. Graham Bell who could help them. The family
met Alexander Graham Bell who recommended the Kellers hire a teacher to help
their special daughter.
Chapter 4
Anne Sullivan, a young teacher with her own vision problems,
arrived at the Keller home in early March of 1887.She started teaching Helen
manual alphabet to which Helen did not respond encouragingly. Nothing clicked
until a few weeks after her arrival when she tried to teach Helen the
difference between “mug” and “water.”
Chapter 5
After Helen understood that things had names- and she could
learn those names from her teacher’s finger-spelling- her vocabulary grew. Then,
during the summer of 1887, she learned about the power of nature when a storm
came upon her while she was outside…on her own.
Chapter 6
Once she recognized things and actions had names, Helen
needed to comprehend abstract subjects. Trying to solve a problem, she felt her
teacher’s hand on her forehead while Miss Sullivan emphatically spelled “THINK.”
“In a flash,” Helen recognized that’s what she was doing- thinking.
Chapter 7
In her early days of learning, Helen worked outside with
Anne. It seemed like play since she had not yet commenced formal lessons. Helen
began to put words together in sentences, like “doll is on the bed.” The first
book she actually read was “Reader for Beginners.”
Chapter 8
At the age of seven, Helen Keller experienced her first real
Christmas. She gave, as well as received, presents. She was even invited to
participate with the local school children on Christmas Eve. Excited about what
was to come, she was the first to awake on Christmas morning.
Chapter 9
Helen visited the Perkins
Institute for the Blind in May of 1888. For the first time in her life, she met
the other children who used the manual alphabet. It was, she said, like coming
home to her own country, she toured places around Boston and especially loved Plymouth
Rock (because she could touch it).
Chapter 10
After his visit to Boston, Helen
and her teacher took a Cape-Cod holiday during which the child first
experienced the ocean. When a wave pulled her underwater, she was very
frightened. Also puzzled, she asked Anne Sullivan: “Who put salt in the water?
