"As soon as I could spell a few words my teacher gave me slips of cardboard on which printed words were in raised letters. I quickly learned that each printed word stood for an object, an act, or a quality. I had a frame in which I could arrange the words in little sentences; but before I ever put sentences in the frame I used to make them in objects. I found the slips of paper which represented, for example, ""doll,"" ""is,"" ""on,"" ""bed"" and placed each name on its object; then I put my doll on the bed with the words is, on, bed arranged beside the doll, thus making a sentence of the words, and at the same time carrying out the idea of the sentence with the things themselves."

Answer 1

The passage from "The Story of My Life" is narrated from Helen Keller's perspective as she learns to associate words with objects through touch.

Step-by-step explanation:

The excerpt from "The Story of My Life" by Helen Keller is written from Helen Keller's perspective, a young girl who is learning language while being blind. Keller describes how she used physical objects, like her doll and paper slips with raised letters, to understand and construct sentences, signifying a profound milestone in her journey of language acquisition. These experiences highlight the transformative power of literacy and language in Keller's life, particularly how finger spelling and word association with objects enabled her to overcome the barriers posed by her blindness and deafness.
