Write the character sketch of mildred Keller
Answers
Mildred Keller was Helen's younger sister. Helen did not like her when she was very young. Once, when Mildred was just a newly born baby, Helen found her sleeping peacefully in the cradle which was meant for Nancy, the doll. Helen grew angry, and overturned it. Mildred might have died if Helen's mother had not caught her as she fell.
But as Mildred and Helen grew together, they loved each other very much. Both of them would play and move around the house holding each other's hand. Later on when Helen faced many challenges while learning to speak, at times, she got so much discouraged that she would want to quit learning the speech. But the thought of conversing with Mildred filled her with strength and energy, and she would practice more. Thus, we see Mildred was Helen's heart.
The character of Mildred Keller is the opposite of Helen and in this contrast the agony and shortcoming that Helen had to bridge have detailed better.
She was a simple girl with all normal physical advantage and that often induced jealousy in Helen’s mind.
Later she worked as the eye and ear of her elder sister Helen and they grew up together as a reciprocation to each other.
It is due to Mildred that Helen saved from the train accident.
