Review of Helen Keller book

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.

Chili Cornbread

This is one of my favorite meals. It doesn’t have a lot of ingredients or steps, so if you just follow the recipe I think you will find it is quite easy to make. It is quite deliciously made too. It is sort of like a chili with corn bread sandwich. Fit in to a square pan or a pan of whatever size you please to have it in. I hope you will like this dish as much as I do.  

Ingredients    

·      One package of Chili cornbread

·      One egg

·      Two cans of chili

·      1/3 cup of milk

Steps

·      Mix the eggs and milk together and add the cornbread mix.

·      Open the two cans of chili and dump them into a square baking dish, spread it evenly.

·      Spread cornbread batter over the whole top of the dish.

·      Bake in the oven on 400 degrees for eighteen minuets.
