Answer 1

Helen Adam Keller was born in Tuscumbia, Alabama on June 27, 1880. During the Civil War, Keller’s father, Arthur H. Keller had been a captain in the Confederate Army. Keller’s ancestral family owned a large plot with a homestead and a neighboring outhouse. The homestead was called “Ivy Green” because it was an old-fashioned house, covered with English ivy. Helen was quite fond of this house and the family garden. Although Helen enjoyed the fruits of springtime, February turned things bleak. The doctor diagnosed her with “acute congestion of the stomach and brain”. Helen became unconscious, leaving her family in a flurry of emotions and panic. Then, as suddenly as the illness enveloped her, Keller recovered from the fever. However, no one could tell at the time that Helen Keller would be without sight and hearing henceforth.Progressing slowly, she learned that shaking head meant “no”, and a nod meant “yes”, a pull and push meant “come” and “go”. Helen’s mother helped her understand the world around her. However, the learning process was frustrating. Although Helen learned to communicate in her own way, she could not grapple the differences between her and individuals who could speak, at first. When she moved her mouth, she could not elicit the same effect as her counterparts, which frustrated Helen.
