Helen Keller has inspired many with her book, The Story of My Life, which traces her life up to the age of only 22 years of age but which gives readers such insight into her struggles and ample motivation to always strive for the best, despite times when their lives may seem "silent, aimless, dayless," such as Helen herself admits of her own life. In this book, Helen Keller does not shy away from the unpleasantness of events as she could so easily have done, romanticizing her life and her efforts. Instead, as her intention was to inspire others to overcome their own difficulties, she includes events that could have changed her life and her direction and the people who ensured that she succeeded. Helen credits those who influenced her life, some famous and others that make her feel that "all is well." Bishop Brooks is one of these people.
It is a huge struggle for Helen to ensure she meets and exceeds expectations and Bishop Brooks is someone who is steadfast in his belief in and acceptance of Helen. In Helen, a girl so vastly different from himself in beliefs and age, he recognizes an indomitable spirit and he sees that, although Helen is suffering, she is able to teach others how to humble themselves and rise above challenges which seem insurmountable. He understands that, unwittingly, she reveals something that he has been trying to teach his congregation for years: that goodness and hope do exist in the darkest and most unlikely of places. The famous hymn O Little Town of Bethlehem was written by Bishop Brooks; the second verse, although never attributed to his friendship with Helen, speaks of "How silently, how silently, The Wondrous gift is given..." He was always astounded by Helen's ability to reach others without really saying a word.
The fact that Bishop Brooks never judges Helen and trusts her and never questions her relationship with God which, by her own admittance, is not a traditional one but is somewhat unresolved, ensures that Helen and Bishop Brooks remain lifelong friends. He teaches Helen, even from a young age, that "wrong shall not triumph." Even after he dies, Helen knows that there is "no creed or system more soul-satisfying than Bishop Brooks's creed of love."

Bishop Brooks was a friend of Helen who taught her about God and religion. Helen recounts her first meeting with Bishop Brooks who taught her no dogma or creed but impressed two main ideas on her mind—fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. He had preached to her only one universal religion—the religion of love. After Bishops death, Helen read the Bible and many other philosophical texts like SwedenborgsHeaven and Hell. But she valued Brooks teachings above all others.
Mr. Michael Anagnos was the director of the Perkins Institution for the Blind in Boston during Helens formative years. He was the one who had found Miss Sullivan as a teacher and companion for Helen.
Mr Ananogus
After Helen had joined the Perkins Institution, he became a good friend of hers. Helen dedicated things she wrote to him during those years. However, a breach in their friendship came with The Frost King episode. After Helen was accused of plagiarism for her story, he terminated their friendship. Even though he had known her for years, he failed to understand that Helen had not intentionally copied the story in order to please him. Later, however, after the publication ofThe Story of My Life,Mr. Anagnos wrote to the editor claiming that he had been a supporter of Helen during her investigation and trial. The friendship, however, was never restored.
Nonetheless, during the times when they were close friends, he had helped Helen in all possible ways, encouraging her and providing her with books in raised prints.
