Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The story is an autobiography in which Hellen Keller tells people about the experiences she has had being blind and deaf and the difficulties she has faced

Keller's purpose was to show the fundamental humanity of people with disabilities and part of that is explaining her internal life as a child who could not see or hear. There is a kind of otherness to her mature writing which seems to her childhood as if her writing self was a kind of abled guide and almost a separate person from her disabled self.

she explains as much as at the beginning of her book when she speaks of her childhood that her description of her childhood, her relationships with Martha Washington, and the pranks she played on her mother.

Helen keller often shares how she worked hard to become a part of the regular world, and to be able to communicate with people effectively. Even as she got older she continued to try to learn new skills to make it easier to function. despite being blind and deaf, she worked to learn French and German. she went to college and studied multiple subjects alongside seeing and hearing students.
