Question

What was revealed to the narrator at the well-house? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Miss Sullivan took Helen to well-house to teach her the difference between the words "m-u-g" and "w-a-t-e-r." As they reached it, someone was drawing water. The teacher placed Helen’s hand under the stream of water gushing from the spout. As soon the cool stream of water touched Helen’s one hand and Miss Sullivan spelled into her other hand the word water, the young student instantly and instinctively realized the cool liquid falling on her hand was water. Thus, the mystery of language was revealed to Helen. Helen was so elated to learn this mystery. She expresses her joy with the following words: ‘That living word awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, joy, set it free!’
