Question

write a character sketch of alexander grahambell -(from the novel - helen keller )

Answer 1

Dr. Alexander Graham Bell was an inventor and a teacher of the deaf. Helen met him for the first time in Washington in the year 1886. This meeting was not only the beginning of a long friendship between Dr. Bell and Helen but it also proved to be the foundation of Helens education and life. In fact, Helen has dedicated her autobiographyThe Story of My Lifeto him. Helen mentions his sympathetic and tender nature that made her love him from her first visit itself. It was on his suggestion that Helens father wrote to Mr. Anagnos and subsequently found Miss Sullivan as a teacher.

Helen and Miss Sullivan were accompanied by Dr. Bell on their visit to the Worlds Fair in 1893. Helen also visited him at his home and laboratory. He appears to be a wonderful and patient teacher who could instil enthusiasm and interest in his students through his delightful explanations. Helen notes that Dr. Bell was a humourous person and a poet as well. Another endearing quality of Dr. Bell was his love for children, particularly the deaf.

Answer 2

Dr. Graham Bell was a famous American innovator. He was a remarkable person and had always been very kind and helpful to Helen and Miss Sullivan. It was he who introduced Mr. Anagnos to her parents, and Miss Sullivan who came to teach her at her home. Whenever Helen was in difficulty, Dr. Bell extended a helping hand to her.
He showed and explained many of his experiments to Helen. Helen felt indebted to him and acknowledged her indebtedness to him, quoting that he brought her from darkness to light, from isolation to friendship, knowledge and love.
Helen visited the World Fair with him; and he told her how autophones and other inventions made communication easier in the world. He described each object in the electrical world to her with utmost interest. Helen spent many days in his laboratory listening to his experiments. These experiences matured Helen and she felt that she had taken a great leap from the world of fairy tales to the real practical world.
Besides being caring and kind, he was humorous and poetic also. He was very fond of children. He did a lot to improve the life of the disabled. Dr. Bell remained as a sustaining influence in Helen’s life. In spite of being a great man of high status, he was very modest, noble and sympathetic.
