Answer 2

The arrival of Anne Sullivan, the very next morning, brought a turning point in Helen’s life. It was an eventful day when she stood on the porch, dunjb, expectant. She guessed vaguely from her mother’s signs and from the hurrying to and fro in the house that something unusual was about to happen. So she went to the door and waited on the steps.The arrival of Anne Sullivan coincided with the coming of spring. Her arrival has a symbolic significance. The image of Sullivan’s arrival is being used to represent the arrival of spring, in order to reveal her importance in Helen’s life. With the arrival of Sullivan, little Helen’s fingers lingered almost unconsciously on the familiar leaves and blossoms which had just come forth to greet the sweet southern spring. What happens with the arrival spring? New foliage springs up, there is a wonderful thrill in the nature. So, Sullivan is the ‘Morning Cuckoo’ of the spring, and her arrival sounds much like the melodious song of the cuckoo. The tender leaves grow up and flowers blossoms in spring, which is symbloic of Sullivan’s arrival. Hence, the arrival of Anne Sullivan which coincides with the advent of Spring, is metaphorically cited in the story.
