The Brave, The Blind The Best!
A black and silent world:
Helen bringing hopes to
blind and deaf children.
When Helen Keller was 19
months old, a terrible brain fever
almost killed her. When that
sickness was over, she became
blind and deaf. Just imagine that
your ears are stuffed with cotton you can’t hear anything, even
when someone is shouting. A
blindfold covers your eyes. You
can’t see anything, either. Your
world is just going to be dark and
silent forever; that was Helen
Keller’s world.
Helen was young
Helen Keller and
Anne Sullivan
Helen Keller was born in
Tuscumbia Alabama, on June
27,1880. Helen Keller was a smart
baby; she learn how to speak early.
But, then one day a brain fever
came to her, after the brain fever
was over ;Helen Keller became
blind and deaf, she was really mad
when she knew that she wasn’t like
other people. Her parents were
trying to find a teacher that could
teach Helen .Her parents found a
teacher name Anne Sullivan. Anne
Sullivan had a hard time with Helen
Keller, sometimes with Helen, she
even have to fight back Helen.
Since Helen got older, she
understand what love is, so then
after that she became a nice and
gentle person.
Anne Sullivan told Helen’s parents
that Helen had to move away from
her home with her, because Helen
always depends on her parents.
She needs to try to live without her
parents. After Helen moved with
Anne Sullivan, she know how to
work by herself, she never depends
on anyone. So she became strong
after all. When she got older she
became an author. She publish her
first book on 1903, and it was
called The Story Of My Life. Helen
Keller went around the world to
encourage blind and deaf people
like her. She also raised many
millions dollar to help the blind.
Because she knew that they were
having a hard time like her. But
some people are deaf and blind,
they can’t learn how to speak
because they didn’t have the
money to learn how to speak like
Helen Keller. So she wants to help
them learned how to speak like her.
A Challenging Life
Water pump
A story:
Anne Sullivan saw a water pump then
she grab Helen hand and let she feel
the water and spelled it on her hand
with the Braille alphabetical order.
( This is what happened on that day)
One day, when Helen Keller was
playing at the backyard with Anne
Sullivan. When an idea start lighting
around Anne Sullivan head. She saw
a water pump! She thought that if
Helen Keller could feel it, then she
could start help Helen know how to
spell it in Braille letters. Then Helen
Keller knew that life make a lot more
sense and from now on she loved to
learn Braille letter.
The principal think that Helen Keller copied
a story from a book after he read the story
that Helen wrote in braille. One day, Anne
Sullivan told her a story that took more than
1 hour to write it on Helen hand in braille
(one by one). But the principal thinks that
she copied the story that is in the book.
Because Helen story is a bit the same with
the one Anne Sullivan had told her. Helen
can’t believe that the principal said that she
copied the story. Helen Keller really did
have a hard time, she was really sad. She
doesn’t want to go to school but she wants
to go home with her mom and dad. Then the
principal realized that Helen Keller did not
copied the story.
Learning
to
speak:
Helen Keller told Anne Sullivan
that she wants to learned how to
speak, so her teacher went and
find a teacher that could teach
Helen learned how to talk like
normal people. At first, Helen
thought that she can’t do it but
she was really surprise when she
knew that she could speak. She
told Anne Sullivan that she wants
to go home and surprise her mom
and dad, and she really did
surprise her mom and dad.
School For Girls:
Anne Sullivan found a school that was for
girls, because at that time girls don’t really
go to college. After Helen Keller knew how
to speak, she wanted to go to college. So
Anne Sullivan decided to let Helen Keller
learn that school. But Anne Sullivan had a
hard time explaining the math to Helen
Keller. Many students didn’t like Helen
Keller. They think that she is cheating on
her work!

Helen Keller’s Quotes
How was life before a deaf and blind
author?
“Alone we can do
so little; together we
can do so much.”
Life before Helen Keller was bad, because of the
way normal people treated the blind and deaf
people wasn’t fair. Normal people also think that
blind and deaf people can’t do anything but sit
there and making thing worst. Some son/ daughter,
think that their parent is blind, they don’t care! They
just think that blind and deaf people are really
annoying. They don’t want to take care for blind
and deaf people.

people that are blind and deaf like her. She was
friends with kings and queens all around the world.
She was a really famous author, after what Helen
Keller has done, normal people stop thinking that
blind and deaf people can’t do anything. Normal
people think that blind and deaf people like Helen
Keller can do what they want unless they don’t give
up!
A Test Without Anne Sullivan
One day, Anne Sullivan was about to come into the test room with Helen Keller, but
the principal wouldn’t let Anne Sullivan in. When it was time to take a test so that
they would let her go to college. Because he said that many students thinks that
Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan were cheating so that’s why Anne Sullivan can’t
come in. Anne Sullivan was trying really hard to persuade the principal to let her in.
But the principal said that Anne Sullivan may not come in but he will find a teacher
to help Helen Keller with the test. Anne Sullivan was really worried. Everyone was
having a hard time with the test! After a few days, Anne Sullivan found a mail inside
her mailbox. When she opened it she saw that Helen Keller had graduate that
school. Anne Sullivan was really proud about Helen, Helen was also really surprise
and happy at the same time.
