Answer 2

Here is the answer for your question




Helen breaks her doll in frustration when Anne Sullivan is trying to teach her language. At this point in her education, Helen understands words that are finger-spelled into her palm, but she cannot grasp that a single word can refer to more than one object. In particular, she can’t understand that the word “doll” might refer to all dolls, not just one. Her teacher repeatedly tries to make Helen understand this; eventually, in a fit of temper, Helen throws her doll onto the floor and breaks it. She writes that she "was keenly delighted when I felt the fragments of the broken doll at my feet.” Later, when Anne is successful in making Helen understand that “everything has a name,” by holding her hand under a stream of water and spelling the word “water” into her palm, Helen realizes what she has done in breaking the doll: “for the first time I felt repentance and sorrow.”
