Rounds out the body of Keller/Sullivan literature One of the reasons that this book is significant is because of personal clues that it reveals.For example, Annie had a ferocious temper - even with Helen.She was a perfectionist who pushed Helen to do or try to do many very difficult things. She wanted Helen to speak like a hearing person and pushed her to practice extensively.Helen tried, but because of her severe hearing loss, was never able to cultivate a voice that was as clear and "sweet" as Annie wanted it to be.Annie also was determined that Helen should be the best at everything she attempted including the best scholar at Radcliffe College.She forbade Helen to read books that were of questionable literary value.Helen, however, did not seem to suffer from these pressures in a lasting way - maybe due to her naturally accepting and gentle nature. Another reason that this book is important is that it shows how and what Helen thought about her life and Annie.Both Annie and Helen were very gifted in the use of language.This shared modality fostered and colored their communications and their vision of life.It became their means of earning a living in the forms of lectures and writing. Helen's writings about her "Teacher" show that she adored, respected, worried about and loved Annie.She mourned the fact that Annie did not receive more of the credit for Helen's success. This book makes clear, on the other hand, that the teacher had an extremely apt student.It was a partnership between two women who loved one another, who were both very bright, who had very different temperments, and who became a family. There are two other must reads for the Annie Sullivan/Helen Keller scholar.Both have more and better photos of Helen and Annie.One is "Anne Sullivan Macy" by Nella Braddy Henney.Braddy was a contemporary and friend of Helen and Annie.This book provides a very sympathetic version of their lives."Helen and Teacher" by Peter Lash is probably more objective.It shows them in a somewhat less heroic way.Together these two biographies provide a rather complete picture of Annie and Helen as they were. ...

Excellent
The dealf, blind, and mute girl.
Helen Keller I think all different kinds of people would like this book because people whoeverlikes biographies would like this book too.
A GOOD INTERMEDIATE BIOGRAPHY Helen became blind and deaf after an extended, unidentified illness she suffered at 1 1/2.Unable to see, hear or speak, Helen communicated by a series of rudimentary signs and showed great precocity in learning to fold clothing and recognizing her own.She was also unruly and given to fits of temper, which was understandable considering her lack of access to ready communication. When Helen was 3 months off 7, her now famous teacher, Annie Sullivan was hired to work with her.The redoubtable Ms. Sullivan taught Helen the manual alphabet and from her stellar progress at identifying familiar objects, taught her Braille as well.Helen's progress is nothing short of spectacular and she makes an impressive academic showing at the Perkins Institute for the Blind in Boston. I liked the fact that this book did not dwell on that now tired scene at the water pump when Helen learns after having "water" spelled onto her fingers that "all things have a name."Instead of gasping and losing speed after the now overworked water pump scene, this biography picks up speed and the reader is treated to following Helen's academic progress at Perkins and later as a Radcliffe alumna. This book glosses over Helen's radical socialism during her adulthood and also glosses over the challenges she and Annie faced as they matured together.It's a nice biography, but you do end up wanting more.

Editorial Review Amazon.com As a young girl Keller was obstinate, prone to fits of violence, and seething with rage at her inability to express herself. But at the age of 7 this wild child was transformed when, at the urging of Alexander Graham Bell, Anne Sullivan became her teacher, an event she declares "the most important day I remember in all my life." (Sullivan herself had once been blind, but partially recovered her sight after a series of operations.) In a memorable passage, Keller writes of the day "Teacher" led her to a stream and repeatedly spelled out the letters w-a-t-e-r on one of her hands while pouring water over the other. This method proved a revelation: "That living world awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, joy, set it free! There were barriers still, it is true, but barriers that could in time be swept away."And, indeed, most of them were. In her lovingly crafted and deeply perceptive autobiography, Keller's joyous spirit is most vividly expressed in her connection to nature: The idea of feeling rather than hearing a sound, or of admiring a flower's motion rather than its color, evokes a strong visceral sensation in the reader, giving The Story of My Life a subtle power and beauty. Keller's celebration of discovery becomes our own. In the end, this blind and deaf woman succeeds in sharpening our eyes and ears to the beauty of the world. --Shawn Carkonen Customer Reviews (65)
