Question

In preparation for a group discussion, read about when Helen Keller first met Anne Sullivan.

I felt approaching footsteps, I stretched out my hand as I supposed to my mother. Some one took it, and I was caught up and held close in the arms of her who had come to reveal all things to me, and, more than all things else, to love me.

The morning after my teacher came she led me into her room and gave me a doll. The little blind children at the Perkins Institution had sent it and Laura Bridgman had dressed it; but I did not know this until afterward. When I had played with it a little while, Miss Sullivan slowly spelled into my hand the word “d-o-l-l.” I was at once interested in this finger play and tried to imitate it. When I finally succeeded in making the letters correctly I was flushed with childish pleasure and pride . . .

But my teacher had been with me several weeks before I understood that everything has a name.

—The Story of My Life,
Helen Keller

In a group discussion, a participant says, “Helen Keller would never have learned had it not been for Anne Sullivan.” How would you respond to share your viewpoint? Write three sentences.

Answer 1

I find Helen Keller's story impressive because she demonstrates what people are capable of accomplishing. The way Helen Keller grasped words and yearned for more communication is an inspiration.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helped.

Answer 2

Answer: I agree that Anne Sullivan changed Helen Keller's life because no one before had been able to reach her. As a young girl, Helen was in the dark. Even though her parents loved her, I don't think they ever would have been able to teach her like Anne Sullivan.

Hopefully, this helps! :D
