Question

when helen keller described her aunt's doll why do you think the absence of eyes only struck her first than anything else in the missing senses?

Answer 1

Some of the events she describes seem far less noteworthy but Helen includes them because for them to have created a memory indicates that they have a deeper meaning. One such recollection is the towel doll that Hellen's aunt makes for her before her momentous visit to Baltimore and onward to Washington where she is introduced to Dr Alexander Graham Bell, who will become the facilitator who provides 'the door through which I should pass from darkness into light.'
