Helen Keller Communication

In both the text The Story of My Life by Helen Keller and the video “How Helen Keller Learned to Talk” by Fox Movietone news there are differences between how Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan are depicted in many different ways, such as in education and behavior. The passage depicted Helen Keller as an impatient girl who had little patience for learning manners and learning how to communicate with others. The video however showed that Helen Keller as an adult has matured and grown up to become this intelligent woman, who can speak, and do things that she wasn’t able to do before alone. Ever since Helen Keller’s been 6 years and 8 months old, Anne Sullivan has been her teacher. At first, the relationship between the two is that Anne is the

Being a deaf and blind person can be really hard for you and the people around you. That is how life was for Helen Keller after she got sick at 19 months old. Everything was fine for her until she got ill, which caused her to be deaf and blind permanently. Learning was very hard for her because no one knew how to teach her and she was technically spoiled.

Yin and Yang is a popular symbol that shows that to reach greatness, one must have balance. But to have balance, one must know that there is good in the bad and the bad in the good. Everyone has or eventually will come face to face with something that will bring hardships into their lives. When faced with adversity, one must learn to live with it to overcome it. This may take time, or it may be instant. By allowing people to help you, keeping a positive attitude, and accepting who you are, people can overcome obstacles they are facing.

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

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.

The positive impact words had on the three people's lives is mind blowing; and these three short essays can prove it. Helen Keller was born in 1880 she was blind and deaf. She couldn't communicate any issue's she had with people because she didn't know how to. When she was seven her parents got a special teacher for her condition.

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

After pulling Keller away from her family to better educate her, Anne started to teach Keller to communicate with things outside the world. During a lesson Anne finger spelled the word “water” on one of Keller's hands as she put water on one of her students other hands. Keller finally learned how to connect sign language with objects around her. Because of Anne's help Keller learned nearly 600 words. Keller also learned how to multiply and read braille within a matter of months. Anne left Tewksbury to go to Perkin's school for blind people in 1880, and did surgery to help improve her limited vision. Sullivan experienced great challenges while at perkins. Anne had never been to school before and she lacked social grace. Anne was humiliated by her own ignorance and had a short temper. Anne was tremendously bright and advanced

Helen's achievements were achieved only through her obstacles that she went through while learning. Helen Keller got a teacher, Annie Sullivan, who taught her many things. Annie, Helen's teacher, came to Tuscumbia on March 3, 1887 (Feeny). After six months of working together, Helen had learned the manual alphabet, could read brittle and raised type, and was writing letters (Feeny). Within six months Helen learned many things from Annie and they continue to work together throughout their lifetimes. Helen went to college and became a writer. She went to Radcliffe college because Harvard did not accept women. She was the first deaf-blind person who went through college (Feeny). Annie Sullivan was always by her side except when she took the tests (Feeny). Helen Keller finished college with the help of Annie. Helen was accused of plagiarism. She was accused because she wrote a book just like a book that was read to her three years prior (Feeny). After that, sometimes people often wondered if she was just restating things that she heard over the years (Feeny). At 11 years old Helen Keller was accused of plagiarism because she wrote a similar story that was read to before. Even though Helen Keller had many amazing accomplishments, she also had many obstacles she had to overcome in order to accomplish

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.

Helen Keller has taught the entire nation that it is possible to overcome obstacles and obtain goals. At the age of nineteen months, she was stricken by an illness called “brain fever”, that left her blind and deaf. It is evident that Keller lived a strenuous life, but along the way she managed to establish the American Civil Liberties Union and received many honors in recognition of her accomplishments. The fact that a blind and deaf woman accomplished so many achievements over the course of her lifetime and is known as one of the most memorable women alive, simply amazes me. Although our lives do not necessarily alline, I hope to be as successful as Helen Keller was and overcome any obstacles that come my way.

Beginning at birth, intelligence is being developed in the mind of a young one. Unlike normal infants, Helen Keller began learning and understanding language at approximately six years old, thanks to Anne Sullivan. The nonfiction drama dubbed The Miracle Worker by William Gibson depicts the visually impaired Anne Sullivan teaching her blind and deaf pupil Helen Keller not only language, but obedience. During this journey to teach a disabled six-and-a-half year old, Sullivan faces adversity from the Keller family, from rivalry based on the Civil War and opinions on how Helen should be nurtured. Furthermore, Sullivan believes that obedience is the key to knowledge.

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

The potency and inspiration of the less-than fortunate never ceases to amaze me. Against physical conditions that would enslave even the strongest of women, Helen Keller challenged her multiple disabilities and became an educated young women in spite of them. Blind and deaf at two, Helen Keller's story of bravery and fortitude and her remarkable relationship with her beloved teacher Ann Sullivan, is a delicate lesson in the ability of the extraordinary few to triumph over adversity.

In addition, she became aggressive so people thought that she is disrespectful and that she just wants attention. Helen has four siblings, one sister, and three step brothers. Her father’s name is Arthur H. Keller, and her mother’s name is Kate Adams Keller. She was a perfectly gifted little girl, she started speaking when she was just six months old. Then she started walking at the age of one. Until she was one year and a half when a disease struck her, which was called Brain Fever, which made her deaf and blind. But till this day no one knows what the disease actually is. Afterward, her mom went to search for answers. So she went to see Anne Sullivan. Meanwhile Helen’s mom was looking for answers to the disease, Helen created 60 signs to communicate with to Martha Washington. But at the age of seven she started kicking and screaming when angry, and giggling uncontrollably when happy. She became aggressive and the only way to calm her down was by giving her a sweet. In 1887, Sullivan went to Helen Keller’s house in Alabama and instantly began by teaching Helen finger spelling, starting with the word "doll," to help Helen understand the gift of a doll she had bought her as a gift. Helen was started
