Chapter-1
Helen was born on 27th June, 1880 in Tuscumbia, a little town of northern Alabama in USA. Nineteen months after her birth, Helen fell ill which left her with visual and hearing disabilities.
Chapter 2
Helen could not communicate with anyone except her own sign language until she became seven years old. Helen’s disabilities often annoyed her and she lost her temper quite often. She would often kick her nurse Ella. Martha Washington, the coloured girl was her childhood companion. Together they had lots of fun doing mischief and pranks. Helen got herself in many precarious situations owing to her inability to see and hear. Helen felt jealous of her sister Mildred and even threw her once out of her cradle.
Chapter 3
Helen’s parents had an intense wish to educate their disabled daughter. Helen’s mother came to know about Laura Bridgeman who had similar disabilities as Helen and who had been successfully taught. Helen’s father took Helen to Baltimore to see an eye-specialist with the hope of getting Helen treated. She enjoyed the trip and behaved herself throughout the journey. Dr. Chisholm expressed his inability to treat Helen. However, he suggested the family to meet Dr. Graham Bell who could help them. The family met Alexander Graham Bell who recommended the Kellers hire a teacher to help their special daughter.
Chapter 4
Anne Sullivan, a young teacher with her own vision problems, arrived at the Keller home in early March of 1887.She started teaching Helen manual alphabet to which Helen did not respond encouragingly. Nothing clicked until a few weeks after her arrival when she tried to teach Helen the difference between “mug” and “water.”
Chapter 5
After Helen understood that things had names- and she could learn those names from her teacher’s finger-spelling- her vocabulary grew. Then, during the summer of 1887, she learned about the power of nature when a storm came upon her while she was outside…on her own.
Chapter 6
Once she recognized things and actions had names, Helen needed to comprehend abstract subjects. Trying to solve a problem, she felt her teacher’s hand on her forehead while Miss Sullivan emphatically spelled “THINK.” “In a flash,” Helen recognized that’s what she was doing- thinking.
Chapter 7
In her early days of learning, Helen worked outside with Anne. It seemed like play since she had not yet commenced formal lessons. Helen began to put words together in sentences, like “doll is on the bed.” The first book she actually read was “Reader for Beginners.”
Chapter 8
At the age of seven, Helen Keller experienced her first real Christmas. She gave, as well as received, presents. She was even invited to participate with the local school children on Christmas Eve. Excited about what was to come, she was the first to awake on Christmas morning.
Chapter 9
Helen visited the Perkins Institute for the Blind in May of 1888. For the first time in her life, she met the other children who used the manual alphabet. It was, she said, like coming home to her own country, she toured places around Boston and especially loved Plymouth Rock (because she could touch it).
Chapter 10
After his visit to Boston, Helen and her teacher took a Cape-Cod holiday during which the child first experienced the ocean. When a wave pulled her underwater, she was very frightened. Also puzzled, she asked Anne Sullivan: “Who put salt in the water?”
