1. I thought that in the narrative, Helen Keller gave a good description to what her world was like. Although I will never get the full sense of this, she did well on explaining what it is like.
2. The most interesting part to me is how when she finally realized that the words she had been spelling out actually represented the item that she was spelling. That transformation from not understanding to understanding i felt was most interesting.
3. I was surprised that she was able to take on this new spelling so well when she was both blind and deaf.
4. This did not change my outlook on Helen Keller. It did not change my outlook because I have seen a movie about her where all of this is described.

1.) The afternoon sun penetrated the mass of honeysuckle that covered the porch, and fell on my upturned face. My fingers lingered almost unconsciously on the familiar leaves and blossoms which had just come forth to greet the sweet southern spring.
2.) Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog, when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness shut you in, and the great ship, tense and anxious, groped her way toward the shore with plummet and sounding-line, and you waited with beating heart for something to happen?
3.) When I finally succeeded in making the letters correctly I was flushed with childish pleasure and pride. Running downstairs to my mother I held up my hand and made the letters for doll. I did not know that I was spelling a word or even that words existed; I was simply making my fingers go in monkey-like imitation.
6. A narrative is more engaging than a biography because a narrative is written by the actual person it is about. It is important to get a personal perspective because nobody can explain your feelings as well as you yourself can.
7. - Family trip
- Personal experience
- A hardship overcome
- Childhood memory
- A time when I was proud of myself
