Hellen Keller’s “Three Days to See” exhibits that sight of the world is taken for granted. For example, she states “We should live each day with a gentleness, a vigor, and a keenness of appreciation…” (Keller 211). Keller describes what she would do if she was given eye sight for three days. During these three days, Keller structures her time around her loved ones, the city, art, and nature. Keller’s impaired vision allows her to use extensive imagery to remind the sighted of how ungrateful they

To begin with, the text, “Flowers for Algernon,” by Daniel Keys, shows an abundant amount of examples when it comes to asking others for guidance-- or lack thereof. The story follows a man named Charlie, a mentally impaired 37-year old who has decided to undergo a newly tested surgery, performed by two neurosurgeons, Dr. Strauss and Dr. Nemur, that will theoretically increase his intelligence. The surgery has already been tested on other animals, like Algernon the mouse. Although the surgery initially

Lawrence Sullivan “Sul” Ross (1918) is a life-size bronze sculpture created by Pompeo Coppini and is currently on display at Texas A&M University. This sculpture features the life-size figure of a very distinguished gentleman, standing diligently on top of a stair-like pedestal. The man is facing outwards with a composed expression as though readying himself for action against a great undertaking, evoking a sense of respect from the viewer who is unable to see this challenge just yet.

As humans, it is only natural to take countless things for granted as we live our daily lives. There is beauty that surrounds us like the majestic Rocky Mountains, the crisp blue skies, birds sweetly singing in the early morning, or even the simple sound of someone’s loving voice. People are born with the ability to see and hear the everyday activities going on around them but for some less fortunate, these abilities are not a characteristic they possess. Living as a deaf or blind person in today’s

He always had an interest in politics, because of his family background. His father Joseph Lewis Hogg was a representative for his district in the Eighth Texas Congress. Joseph also served as a state senator for the first Texas Legislature in 1846. James and his siblings were orphaned after the death of both parents. His first job was working

wanting to help people with the same disabilities. She not only had to create signs growing up so that her family could communicate with her, but she had to continue to do so until her “teacher” came along. Keller grew up with her “teacher” Anne Sullivan, who helped her learn to communicate even with the disabilities she had growing up. Helen was very independent in many ways. Such as not being able to see or hear but still getting things down in her mind on what is going on around her or who is

that involves Helen walking around taking food off of her family members plates. The family does nothing to stop Helen. They allow her to take whatever she wants so that they can continue in conversation. This is appalling to Helen’s teacher, Anne Sullivan. When Helen tries to take something off of her plate she reacts and cannot believe the family allows this. This scene displays how Helen’s life has been thus far. It shows that because of her condition, her family never made her mind any manners

Also, when Miss Sullivan came out to help Helen with learning, there was one important event that had happened between Keller and Miss Sullivan.
