★HELEN KELLER ★
Helen Keller was born in 1880, in Tuscumbia. Her born is like every single child in every family. She brought happiness to the whole family. Everyone was full of curious and surprise about her. She said “the beginning of my life was simple and much likes every other little life. I came I saw I conquered as the first baby in the family always does.” Because of a high fever, when she was 2, then it completely changed her whole life. Her mom figure out that her eye ball did not even move when she swarmed the hand in front of her face. Later Helen did not even pay attention when her mom was calling her. Then her mom knew her daughter was blind and deaf. Like other mothers, Helen’s mother cannot even believe it and get herself out of the truth. Anyway they have to adaptation it. Since that, little Helen’s world from color to black, from noisy to quite. By the time past, Helen’s became cannot talk as short as the time past. It seriously drove her family to death. Maybe Helen did not what happen to herself. She just felt lost. She would hang on to her mother’s skirt to get around.
Helen tried to let everyone knows what she want even she cannot see or hear. When she wanted bread, she acted out the cutting of slices and buttering them. Pinching a tiny bit of skin on her had meant “small”, spreading her fingers wide and bringing her hands together meant “larger”. If it was ice-cream she wanted, she shivered and made the motion of turning the handle of the ice-cream freezer. I was always wondering how she could know if it is a stranger, she explored the unknown face, the dress and everything.
Of course, she probably made a mess at home, too. Because she cannot really say what she wants she cannot hear anything even anything happened or she was not be able to move. She locked her mom in a room for all day by accident. Her mom was knocking on the door for the whole time, but she could not hear that, and she did not even know that she did lock her mom in the room. Her mom just can wait until someone came home after their work.
When Helen was 7 year old, her family brought her a family teacher named Annie Sullivan. She was a nice lady and she almost blind when she was a little baby, too. So she can totally understand how Helen felt and it made Annie understand Helen more.
She taught her everything, she taught her letters, she wrote every each letter in her hand all the time and tried to let her understand and let her to remember all the letters. She still taught her use her hand to touch stuff and feel it, And tell her what it is right way. Like the word “water”, Annie let her feel water and then write it in her hand, meant that this is water, the things like cold and don’t stay in your hand. Of course she had to teach Helen again and again. Because Helen could not really understand Annie like a normal person. In that time, Helen learned sign language, learned to read and wrote in Braille, While, Helen was trying to understand other people talking, too. She was taught to read the speech of others with her fingers by placing her middle finger on the nose, her forefinger on the lips, and her thumb on the throat of that other person, she could follow what was said. She did that to herself, she tried really hard, because she could not even really talk. She practiced it all the time. Finally, she talked, and she talked like how people talked, she only used her hands , that helped her from don not know how to talk to talk like a person .
Annie was still trying to let her near the natural more, so she let Helen roll on the grass, jump in the farm , seed the farm, even she let her eat in the tree. Let her feel the real natural life. Let her breath the different air, touch different stuff. Annie brought her to touch little pig and play with her in the lake. Annie tried her best to let her to overcome her blind and deaf.
