Helen was leading a darkened life, literally as well as metaphorically. Owing to her blindness and deafness, her two windows of the most important senses were closed, shutting the light of knowledge and beauty outside her. Her inside was in utter darkness. Like a ship lost in fog, Helen's soul was crying,"Light! Give me light!" And in response to her cries, God sent Miss Sullivan into her life, whose light of love shone on Helen, and her darkness was gone forever. Miss Sullivan taught Helen so much of love and dedication, that Helen's shut windows of the senses of vision and hearing were compensated for. Miss Sullivan taught her the secret of language. Then there was no turning back. Helen devoured books with ever increasing passion and enthusiasm. The words became light in her once darkened world.
