This will give you an overall view
of the book. At first Helen was a very happy little girl. But then she got very
ill and when she got better, she was blind and deaf. Many doctors checked her but
each one said the same thing there was no hope. Helen learned her own signs. A
nod meant yes. A pull meant come. A push meant go away. pretty soon she knew
more than 60 hand movements. She was doing very well. But then one day she got
mad and she kept getting madder every day. Then Mr. Keller called Perkins
Institute (school for the blind).
A teacher came to teach Helen, her name was
Annie Sullivan. Annie Sullivan and Helen went away so Annie could teach her.
Helen was learning well. She started to teach Helen to read. Helen wanted to
learn to talk. The teacher hesitated she was not so certain that Helen could
learn. When Helen learned to talk everyone was so amazed; she even got a boat
named after her. Helen went to collage and graduated. After that she went to speak
lectures all over the world, to talk about the deaf. Annie died on October 19,
1939 Helen got a new teacher Polly Thomson. Then Helen died on June 1, 1968. I
hope this gave you a good overview of her story.
