Anne came to Helen's house as a tutor and companion on March 3, 1987. Since then, things have changed. Annie was only 20 years old and her eyes were highly myopic. But she is professionally trained and can teach children to see, listen and speak. She thinks that Helen shows all kinds of unruly behaviors just because she wants to express her thoughts and wishes.
Anne gave Helen a doll, and then spelled the letters of the doll in Helen's hand. She hopes Helen can associate dolls with letters. Helen soon learned the structure of letters in her hand and how to spell them. But she still doesn't understand the meaning of letters.
About four months later, Anne took Helen to the pump. When Anne put Helen's hand into the drawn water, she spelled the word "water" on Helen's other hand. "Suddenly, the secret of language was revealed to me," Helen wrote later. Anne worked miracles in this simple way. Helen later liked to touch everything around her and asked to know their names.
Helen quickly mastered the alphabet, read Braille and write. /kloc-at the age of 0/0, she decided to learn to speak, which was of course difficult, but with Annie's help, she did it. She also announced to the whole family that she was going to college.

After treatment, he recovered part of his vision. He graduated from Boston Perkins School for the Blind.

People can't help asking, who is Helen Keller who can get so much attention from the United Nations? Let's take a look at the story of Helen Keller!
1880 On June 27th, a baby girl was born in Tuscumbia, Alabama, in the southern United States. This baby girl is Helen Keller. No one, including this young life itself, would have thought that bad luck would come so soon at this time.
Less than 19 months after Helen came into this world, an acute cerebral congestion disease attacked her. She has had a high fever for several days and is in a coma. When she woke up, the adults found that little Helen's eyes were burned blind and her ears were burned deaf. Since then, she has been living in darkness and silence. But how did Helen know? When she was five or six years old, she thought that everyone was as black as her, and that unknown whites communicated with people in language. She groped around the house all day, pushing East and Silas. Her sad and painful mother taught her to learn some simple gestures and let her communicate with everyone with them.
One day, Helen was sitting in her mother's arms, and her mother was talking to someone. Helen felt the * * * sound in her mother's chest and the airflow exhaled from her mouth. Curious Helen touched her mother's face with her little hand and felt her mother opening and closing her mouth. She suddenly realized that her mother was different from herself and was doing something with her mouth movements. She tried to touch someone else's mouth again, and their mouth was moving. So Helen also tried to move her mouth and made a gesture anxiously. Naturally, everyone can't understand what little Helen means at once. She was angry, kicking and screaming, scratching and bumping until her voice became hoarse. An incomprehensible mind is extremely painful, and pain sometimes turns into frightening cruelty. Helen began to hit people or destroy toys often and violently. Once, in a rage, she pushed her little sister out of the cradle. Slowly, friends stopped playing with her, and even the beagle at home felt the ferocity of her and always avoided her at a distance.
Parents love this unfortunate child deeply and fully understand Helen's inner pain. On the one hand, they tried their best to find a doctor to treat her, on the other hand, they repeatedly thought about her education. They decided to hire a tutor for her.
When Helen was almost seven years old, her teacher, a 20-year-old girl, Anne Sullivan came to her side. Sullivan was once blind, but after treatment, he recovered part of his vision. The graduates of Boston Perkins School for the Blind are enthusiastic, intelligent, knowledgeable and steady. That afternoon, Helen was playing alone in the yard. Suddenly, she felt someone coming towards her. She thought it was her dear mother and immediately greeted her with open arms as usual. Someone held Helen in his arms and gave her a doll. Helen quickly touched the stranger's face with her hand, and she felt the stranger's smile. Helen was overjoyed.
Helen's first lesson began with learning the word "doll". The teacher asked Helen to touch the doll with her hand, and then spelled "d-o-l-l" repeatedly in Helen's hand. Helen was amused and soon learned to spell "doll" and began to understand that everything in the world has its own name. In the same way, Sullivan taught Helen to spell words such as "cat" and "cake".
Soon, I met with difficulties in my study. Helen couldn't tell the difference between "cup" and "water" according to the method taught by the teacher. She was very upset. She began to get upset and tore the doll around her to pieces. Miss Sullivan silently put on Helen's hat and led her for a walk in the garden. When they passed the well, Miss Sullivan's eyes suddenly lit up. She put Helen's hand on the tap. A cool stream of water flows through Helen's hand. Sullivan spelled a word "water" on Helen's other hand. Helen suddenly realized that water is such a cool and wonderful thing. Her heart was filled with unprecedented joy. She had a premonition that her life would have a new beginning, so she returned to her room. Helen gratefully touched the teacher's hair and cheeks. Anne Sally taught Helen the word "teacher". Helen pointed at herself excitedly again, and Anne slowly spelled "Helen Keller" in Helen's hand. Helen knew her name for the first time in her life, and the person who taught her to spell words was called "teacher" in her hands. Holding the teacher's hand tightly, she flew to her mother's room, threw herself into her arms and gestured excitedly. The teacher spelled "Mom" on Helen's little hand again. Helen immediately understood the meaning of the word and gently stroked her mother's face over and over again. Mother cried with joy and Anne smiled with relief.
One morning, Helen picked some flowers from the garden and gave them to the teacher. The teacher held her in her arms and spelled "I love Helen" in her hand. Helen doesn't know what "love" means. The teacher held Helen tighter and pointed to her heart. Helen is still puzzled. The teacher explained, "Love is like a cloud in the sky. We can't touch it, but we can feel the coolness under the clouds and the rain falling from the clouds. All the flowers and dry land are in great need of rain. Love is also invisible, but we can all feel its warmth and sweetness. Without home, people will not feel happy and happy. Without love, life will lose its luster and meaning. " Helen understands the meaning of "love"
The understanding and feeling of love enhanced Helen's courage and confidence in life. Helen's enthusiasm for learning is higher, especially writing, which has almost become her entertainment and she enjoys it. In this way, it took Helen only three months to learn what others learned in a year.
/kloc-at the age of 0/0, Helen's need to learn to speak became stronger and stronger. Her parents invited Miss Salle from Horace School for the Deaf for her. Helen is deaf and dumb, and the normal way of learning to speak has been completely blocked. She must take a completely different path. When Miss Salle speaks, let Helen touch her trembling throat to find out her active mouth shape and the position of her tongue and teeth, so as to realize how to pronounce. This method of learning to speak entirely by touch is unimaginable to anyone, or it can be said that it is unimaginable to anyone. Recalling her study life, Helen said, "I must work hard day and night to make my partner, even my closest partner, understand me." I have to read some words or sentences aloud over and over again, sometimes for hours, until I think I read them correctly. I keep practicing, practicing, practicing ... "
Helen can finally say a complete sentence. She broke the rule that a deaf person must be dumb when he was a child. With strong perseverance and hard work, she made the "impossible" a reality. "I'm not stupid now! I am not stupid now! " This is Helen's new life declaration.

With the help of Anne, the first teacher, she learned five languages: English, French, German and Latin. She insists on reading a lot of books in Braille. She loves literature very much and has met many writers, poets, editors and actors, including Mark Twain. She hung the relief head of Homer in the study within easy reach to feel the firmness and persistence of this great poet who has gone through hardships.
1902 With the help of a literary critic and an English teacher, Helen finished her first novel, The Story of My Life. This autobiographical work, with its true touching and vivid writing, caused a great sensation as soon as it came out.
1In June, 904, Helen graduated from Radcliffe Women's College with honors, and participated in charity activities for the deaf and blind with her teacher Anne. Two years later, she was appointed chairman of the Massachusetts Committee for the Blind. Under her advocacy and influence, the United States government established the first national library for the blind in 19 13. 192 1 year, through her active activities, the American National NGO-American Foundation for the Blind was established. Through writing and speaking, she arouses the self-improvement consciousness of the disabled, stimulates their fighting spirit and enhances their confidence, courage and strength to overcome difficulties.

During the war, she went to more than 70 hospitals to express condolences to disabled soldiers, and her footprints were all over the world. Helen won the praise of the whole world.
Helen never puts down her pen. She has completed 65,438+04 works in her life, among which The Story of My Life, Song of the Stone Wall, out of the dark and Optimism have all exerted worldwide influence. Helen's last work was my teacher, Anne Sullivan Miley. This work reflects Helen's gratitude, respect and love for the enlightenment teacher who has been with her for 50 years, and it is also the ultimate proof of Helen's spirit and Helen's will. Helen collected notes and letters for this book for 20 years, but when three quarters of the manuscript was written, all the manuscripts and materials were buried in the sea of fire together. Helen silently and firmly accepted the baptism of this big fire and began another difficult journey. Four years later, the manuscript was finally completed. Helen once again made Anne proud and made mankind proud.
Helen's life has written a remarkable and immortal chapter for the history of human civilization. Helen's life is a resounding hymn of life.
Homer's epic is the main legacy of the Greeks from barbarism to civilization, and it is a norm and an unattainable model that reflects the single-year era of mankind. Her main author is a blind man.
Helen Keller analyzed what would I think if I stood at the end of my life and the spark of my life was about to go out? How? You will also sigh that life is short and fragile, and regret not cherishing it? Make good use of your eyes as if you would be blind tomorrow. Listen to the beauty of music, listen to the songs of birds, and listen to the powerful tunes of the orchestra, as if you will be deaf tomorrow. Touch whatever you want, as if your touch will decline tomorrow. Smell the fragrance of all the flowers and taste every mouthful, as if you can't smell or taste it tomorrow. People! Why do you always have to wait until you lose it before you regret it? Why are we always so greedy, seldom cherish what we have, but long for what we don't have! Perhaps, you always think that God has given us these beautiful things, even life, for granted. But have you ever thought, when one day, what you have, even your life, will be lost, what will you do, regret or give up on yourself? If so, it would be sad. Yes, I can't make the same mistakes as others. I would rather cherish 1968. /kloc-On the afternoon of June, 0, Helen Keller died in her sleep at the age of 87. Miss Keller is out. n……
