Annie Sullivan Philosophy

The terrible brain fever left her with being blind and deaf. Her mother discovered when she was blind when she was staring into the light and not blinking at all, and she discovered her being deaf by Helen not responding to the dinner bell that she rang every night. With Helen’s disabilities, she had trouble doing anything or learning anything. As the author states, “Helen seemed almost more wild animal than little girl.” (Garrett 27). So, Helen’s mom, Kate, researched for somebody that could teach her child, and she actually learn something. Finally, they found a teacher that was willing to teach Helen, her name was Anne

Anne took her out to a well and put Helen’s hands under running water, spelling out the word in sign language into her little hand. From that point on Helen was taught the words for everything and how to sign them herself. She became educated and attended lectures with Anne signing the words into her hand. Keller was a fast learner and, “at the end of their first year together Sullivan was spelling into Keller's nine-year-old hand the works of Homer, Shakespeare, and the Bible.” She eventually graduated a prestigious college with

Helen Keller was a social activist throughout the late 1800s and much of the 1900s for the deaf and blind. She went blind and deaf at a young age from a disease but learned how to communicate with the world. She went to Horace Mann School for the Deaf, Wright-Humason School for the Deaf, and Cambridge School for Young Ladies for college. On June 23, 1953, Keller gave a speech at the National University of Mexico to promote rights for the blind specifically. Helen Keller effectively convinces her audience blind people need equal rights through the use of repetition and emotional appeals.

Helen Keller was a deaf and blind author, lecturer, and political activist from the United States. Her teacher, Anne Sullivan, taught her how to communicate and eventually Keller became the first deaf and blind person to receive a Bachelor of Arts. She wrote many books and advocated for labor rights, socialism, woman’s suffrage, antimilitarism, and many other controversial topics.

Helen Keller was born with the ability to see and hear. At 19 months she had an illness that the doctors thought was Scarlet Fever, this resulted in Helen becoming deaf and blind. Five years later, her parents had hired a teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan. Keller learned to understand and communicate to the world around her. Helen Keller stood up against

Born June 27, 1880 a baby named Helen Keller, she was a normal baby until 19 months of age when she became not only blind but blind and deaf. Anne Sullivan came to help the little child. She taught sign language on helen’s fingers and helped the child to connect objects with her signing. Once that was accomplished then Anne taught her to speak, she could never speak the clearest but what mattered is she could speak. At the age of 16 she could then speak and sign. Being able to attend school and not only finished high school but then she was the first ever blind person to get a Bachelor of arts degree. Her proud parents were Kate Adams and Arthur H. Keller, her brothers were William Simpson, Phillips, and James Keller, and she had one sister

Annie Sullivan was more than just a teacher to Helen Keller. Annie was Helen's eyes an ears. Without Annie, Helen never would have learned that things have names, or been able to communicate with the outside world. Some people say that teaching Helen was impossible, as none had ever done it before. Annie was a very good teacher for Helen, as Annie was once blind herself, so she understands what it is like not being able to see. Annie uses three things to teach Helen how to communicate with everyone else. Annie has youth, persuasion, and patience.

Introduction This world is filled with people having a variety of roles in the daily life, while some are heroes who have significant influence over the world. Heroes are always regarded as models full of power, wisdom and strength, people look up to them and waiting for them to guide their way of life. The influence can be long lasting to several generations. But what makes a hero?

After a long search for teachers with the ability to help Keller, her parents found Anna Sullivan:“Sullivan went to Keller's home in Alabama...She began by teaching six year-old Helen finger spelling, starting with the word "doll,"...When Keller did cooperate, Sullivan could tell that she wasn't making the connection between the objects and the letters spelled”(“Helen”). When Sullivan first arrived she tried to teach Keller her first method of fluent communication, but not understanding what Sullivan tried teaching to her made the situation frustrating for both of them. Sullivan created a revolutionary new path in education, because no teacher had ever tried to educate a blind and deaf individual. Sullivan and Keller moved to a cottage on the plantation, so Keller could concentrate on learning: “Sullivan moved the lever to flush cool water over Keller's hand, she spelled out the word w-a-t-e-r on Helen's other hand”(“Helen”). Learning the word water through Sullivan’s exquisite guidance was the start to Keller’s extraordinary life, and the incredible relationship between teacher and student. Sullivan’s brilliant teaching methods allowed Keller to grow and become an incredible epic hero.

To help Helen out with her everyday life she had a teacher named Ms. Sullivan. Ms. Sullivan was a very kind and understanding teacher that helped Helen learn how to know what everyday objects are. Keller overcame her obstacle by having a mentor to help her. On page.506 in paragraph.5 the text states “I left the Well-house eager to learn. Everything had a name, and each name gave birth to a new thought.”

Helen Keller continued to encourage people through her speeches and appearances, while giving numerous people inspiration. One of her great appearances was when she spoke out before Congress about improving the welfare of blind people. She was extremely brave to speak up to millions of people even though she had poorer communication skills compared to an average person. Even though she struggled severely to build up her social skills with the help of her educator, Anne Sullivan, she had the courage to share her progress with the whole world. Helen Keller had also wanted to make sure that the disadvantaged would get the help they needed showing her devotion towards helping people that are in her same

Have you ever wondered what it is like to be blind and deaf? It would make you trapped in your own head, helpless, hopeless, but could anyone like that be able to get a college degree and learn many languages? Helen Adams Keller Did. Helen came into the world on June 27,1880, in Tuscumbia, a small rural town in northwest Alabama. Struck by an illness that Helen left her blind and deaf only 19 months old. The syndrome may have been rubella, scarlet fever, or meningitis, but no one knows for sure. Helen couldn't communicate well frustrating her. By the time Helen aged, seven years, her parents finally got her guidance and instruction. Helen's parents took her to a specialist, and they were eventually connected with Annie Sullivan. Anne a graduate

words that Sullivan was trying to teach her. She would throw tantrums because of her confusion and frustration. Sullivan finally started to earn Helen’s trust so she could move on with her education. The next year, Anne Sullivan brought Helen to the Perkins School for the Blind. Helen seemed really happy there. (Biography.com)

Her frustration was heavy, but after much persistence, and at least one broken porcelain doll, Helen learned that the fingers moving in her right hand, spelling “w-a-t-e-r”, corresponded to the cool liquid running through her left (Keller, 1905, Chapter 3). Suddenly, everything had a name! Helen would go on, with the help of Sullivan, to attend the Perkins Institute, the Wright-Humason School for the Deaf, and the Horace Mann School for the Deaf before attending Radcliffe College starting in 1900 (Keller, 1905, Chapter

Born in Tuscumbia, Alabama, at only nineteen months old, the diagnosis for a sick Helen was Scarlet Fever. Due to this, she had lost the ability to hear, see and speak which had a huge impact in her life (History.comStaff). As she grew older and wanted to learn, her parents had applied for a teacher for the blind. Anne Mansfied Sullivan had been her teacher for not only school, but also to help her find a way through life and learn how to communicate (History.comStaff). Eventually, with the help of Sullivan, Helen Keller was able to effectively graduate cum laude from a school for the blind in 1904 (History.comStaff). Although she had lost the majority of her main senses, Keller still had the ability to live as normal as possible with many
