Question

What kind of illness caught Helen? What kind of experience was it for child

Answer 1

Helen Keller contracted an unknown disease that doctors described as congestion of the brain and stomach. This can either mean it was Scarlet Fever or Meningitis which resulted in Helen becoming deaf and blind. It can be inferred that a childs experience with this disease included much suffering and pain, and, although being deaf and blind with no knowledge of the world around her would be difficult, her tutor came and helped her experience that.
