Because of eye diseases and other unpleasant events in life, Anne's temper was unbearable since she was a child, and her neighbors called her "an annoying child." When her parents were alive, she once burned her hand with a poker, and she dropped bread. Mother asked her to take care of her sleeping sister. She shook the cradle angrily and threw her sister to the ground. Her father scolded her while shaving. She broke all the bottles and jars in the mirror ... As she grew older, Anne's bad temper increased. After her parents died, she became more unruly when she went to her cousin's house. Later, Anne's sister also died. /kloc-Annie, 0/0, and Jimmy, 7 years old, were sent to Texaco poor hospital, a large general hospital that accommodated more than 900 elderly, weak and sick people, thousands of miles away from home in February 1876.
The nightmare has just begun. Conditions in the workhouse are very poor. She was "blind" when she registered in the workhouse-but she still knows some ways. Three months later, on May 30th, 1876, my brother Jimmy died of congenital tuberculoma of hip joint in the workhouse. For a long time, few people in this world cared about little Anne's sadness and loneliness until the appearance of her new father Barbara in the workhouse, who presided over Saturday prayers and Sunday mass ceremonies in the girls' dormitory.
One day, Father Barbara said, "Annie, you shouldn't stay here any longer. I want to take you away. "
Father Barbara has a friend who works as a doctor at the Catholic Charity Hospital in Luo County, Massachusetts. At that time, Anne's eyesight was already very poor. The priest must take Annie to see an eye disease first.
In this way, 1 1 year-old Anne left the workhouse and was hospitalized for eye diseases. Unfortunately, the operation failed, and Anne's eyesight was worse than before: only light was left, which was similar to blindness. Although several remedial operations were performed later, they all ended in failure, and the doctor announced that he had tried his best and could do nothing.
Annie must be discharged from the hospital. At this time, Father Barbara had been ordered by the missionary group to go abroad to preach. Blind Anne was sent back to the workhouse helplessly-a place she hated.
Anne's world was plunged into loneliness and darkness.
Most people in the workhouse are unfriendly to her. Because of Anne's bad temper, they even arranged Anne in the lowest floor of the building-a dark and damp basement. There are several small cells like cages, and Anne is kept in one of them. She scratched, bit, screamed and threw food at people. An old cleaner was very sympathetic to Anne. She baked some chocolate nut cakes and put them in front of Annie's cage. Afraid that Anne would hit someone with a cake, she walked away quickly. But instead of hitting anyone, Annie ate with relish. From then on, Anne and the woman worker became good friends and gradually attracted the attention of others. Only then did the doctors in the workhouse discover that Anne was almost completely blind.
Someone here inspired her to go to school, and she also longed for a promising life and a turn for the better. Later, due to the harsh conditions, the defendant came to the workhouse to investigate, and Anne followed closely behind the members of the investigation team and passed through the airflow they passed. I feel that when people opened the door and left, she called "Mr. Xiang Bang" (the person in charge of the investigation) and said that she was going to a school for the blind, so she was lucky enough to enter Perkins School for the blind for free. The time was 1880 10, when she was 14 years old.
103, Anne entered the campus of Perkins School for the Blind in a carriage.
When studying at Perkins School for the Blind, Anne was not docile. Because the teacher criticized her in public, she slammed the door; The headmaster enlightened her, but she refused to listen. Fortunately, teacher Mo Meili took her in, but she challenged the teacher many times, and the teacher's answer was silence. Later, Anne accepted Teacher Mo and made great progress. After a long training in a blind school, Anne grew up with the help of her teacher. When school is on holiday, Anne even wants to find a job within her power. Later, the school helped Anne find a job in tidying and cleaning hotels in the south of Boston. Anne often chats with the tenants when cleaning the room, so she has the opportunity to meet a tenant who enthusiastically recommends a doctor to treat her eye diseases-God once again brought Dr. Bradford to Anne. After two operations, Anne's vision has recovered! Although her eyesight is still blurred and she is "semi-blind", Anne is very satisfied! This year, Anne 16 years old.
At school, Annie often goes out to do things for everyone. Once, because she sneaked into the court to eavesdrop on her former workhouse, the principal thought she had insulted the reputation of the school and wanted to expel her. Fortunately, Mrs. Hobkin stood up to protect her and took the initiative to become her guardian (foster mother), so that she could continue her studies and return to Hobkin's house during the winter and summer vacations. Later, she became an excellent graduate and spoke on behalf of eight graduates. It was 1886, when she was 20 years old.
1886 Annie? Sullivan graduated from Perkins School for the Blind. She went back to Cape Cod for the summer vacation with her foster mother, Mrs. Hobkin. She is no longer carefree. After autumn, her foster mother continued to volunteer at Perkins School for the Blind. What should she do? She wants to go to the restaurant to wash dishes, but there are no female workers there; She wanted to sell books, but she was afraid to be called ... She was on pins and needles. At the end of August, she received a letter from Mr. Anders, the headmaster of Perkins School for the Blind-
Dear Annie:
How are you? I sent you a letter from Mr Keller. Please read it carefully. Mr Keller found a tutor for his deaf, dumb and blind little daughter Helen. Are you interested in applying? Please write and tell me.
Please say hello to Mrs. Hobkin!
I wish you happiness!
Your friend: Ananos.
It was this short letter that changed the fate of Anne and Helen.
Annie, read this letter? Sullivan felt very depressed. She doesn't like this job at all. But she had no choice. This is the only job she can earn a living. The next day she sat down and wrote back-
"Dear Mr. Anders, thank you for your cultivation and care. After careful consideration, I sincerely accept the position you offered ... "
The blind are special, the deaf are special, and the blind and deaf are even more special. Because this is a special education in special education, Anne has been preparing for half a year to study and study Sam? Dr. Zheng taught Lola who was blind, deaf and dumb, although it was an immature experience. 1March 3, 887 Annie? Sullivan came to Tus Gambia, a small town in Alabama, and met Helen who was 14 years younger than himself. Keller. This is the first student in Miss Sullivan's life and her only student.
Although Helen is a very quiet child, she is blind, deaf and dumb. What can I teach her as a teacher? How to teach? Besides, she is so unruly!
In order to teach Helen about all kinds of things and their corresponding English words, Anne took local materials-starting with teaching dolls. On the first night when Anne arrived, she gave Helen a doll. When Helen touched the doll with one hand, Anne slowly wrote the doll on Helen's other hand with her fingers. Helen felt Anne's handwriting and looked surprised. Then, like Annie, she wrote Annie's letter on her hand. She learns quickly, but she will soon get angry because no one has taught her self-discipline for seven years. She learned to stop studying, grabbed the doll and fell to the ground. She can do whatever she wants.
Because of Helen's emotional confrontation with the outside world, Anne's efforts to communicate with Helen are hard to work. The following is their first meal together:
Anne doesn't allow Helen to reach for the food she wants on the plate, which Helen used to do when she was with her family. Therefore, the first meal with Anne became a contest of will: as soon as Helen put her hand into the plate, Anne decisively pushed it away. Helen's family was very dissatisfied with this and left the restaurant. Annie locked the door and went on eating. Helen just kicked and made noise on the floor, pushing Annie's chair. Half an hour later, Helen looked for her parents around the table, but found no one there, which puzzled her. Finally, she had to sit down and start eating breakfast, but with her hands. Anne gave her a spoon, but it was thrown to the ground with a bang, and the contest of will began again.
Annie? Sullivan reacted strongly to Helen's behavior. In a letter to her family, she said: "The problem I want to solve is to regulate and control her behavior without hurting her heart. I can only do it bit by bit very slowly at first and try to win her love. "
Two weeks later, the first miracle happened. Anne took Helen to a cabin near her home so that they could live alone. On the first day when Helen left home, she was kicking and screaming almost all day. In the evening, Anne told her to sleep, but she wouldn't listen. The next morning, Helen not only didn't make trouble, but also was very calm. Two weeks later, she became a gentle child. She is willing to study. At this time, Anne was very happy to work. Helen learns quickly. Anne can guide her intellectual development. Anne and Helen spent all day together, writing down the names of everything she touched in her hands, but she didn't know what it meant. Slowly, she learned how to sew clothes and make things. Every day they go to the farm to visit animals or look for eggs in the chicken coop. Anne is busy writing letters in Helen's hand with her fingers anytime and anywhere. After seven days together, Helen's personality has undergone profound changes and the treatment has been effective. Annie wrote: My heart was singing happily this morning, and a miracle happened! Two weeks ago, this rough little life has turned into a gentle little girl.
Then one day, a month after Anne was born, when they were walking outside, an important thing happened. They heard someone pumping water by hand. Anne took Helen to the well room. Anne pressed the water, let it flow through Helen's hand again and again, and wrote water on Helen's other hand again and again. Repeatedly let Helen experience "water", Helen suddenly realized and fully understood the teacher's meaning.
Water awakened Helen's soul and gave her light, hope, happiness and freedom. On this day, she learned 30 words, such as "father", "mother", "sister" and "teacher". She learned more things this day than in the previous five weeks. By the end of April, I had learned more than 100 words, and by mid-May, I had learned nearly 400 words. Helen also learned to write. By June 10, Helen can write letters to the children in Perkins School for the Blind in Braille. From that day on, Helen went out to find something to study every day. Every new name will bring her new ideas. Everything she touches seems to be alive. One day, Helen remembered her broken doll. She searched everywhere for pieces of the doll and tried to assemble them into a complete original, but failed. She felt guilty when she realized that she had done something wrong. Miss Sullivan taught Helen many things: reading, writing and even using a typewriter. But the most important thing she taught Helen was how to think.
Since then, Anne has been with Helen for 50 years. With her care and love, she solved one obstacle after another on Helen's learning path. At the same time, Anne and John, a young lecturer at Harvard University? Ebit. John albert macy got married, but because Anne devoted herself to Helen's life, Messi finally left Anne.
19 16 At the end of the year, Teacher Sullivan fell ill. She and her assistant Thomas? Polly left Helen for Puerto Rico for the first time. But even during her recovery, she often wrote to Helen. This is also the only time she "left" in her lifetime after she met Helen. Until the age of 661October 20th, she passed away forever.
She left these last words:
Goodbye john macy, I will be with you soon. Goodbye, I love you.
I want to be loved, I am lonely. Later, Helen came into my life. I hope she loves me and I love her. Then Polly came. I love Polly. We are always so happy together, my Polly and my Helen.
Dear children, may we meet in harmony.
My Jimmy, I will put these flowers in front of you, don't take him away from me. I love him, so he is all to me. ...
Polly will take care of Helen. As time goes by, her speech will not be as wonderful as people think, but my guiding hand will not take out what should be taken out there.
Thank God I gave my life to keep Helen alive. May God help her to live without me after I leave.
She made a speech and took a curtain call to the most important person she met in her life. Affectionate loneliness and love, gently landing.
Helen became famous in one fell swoop and made a name for herself in the world. Anne's candle illuminates others, but she is blind because of excessive use of her eyes; She hides behind her back in obscurity and never complains. When a reporter wanted to write an article about her, she replied disdainfully, "My life is my own private affair, so I don't need everyone to disturb me." How great the spirit of being a ladder is! Is Helen Anne? Sullivan is the first and only student in Anne's life. She devoted all her energy to her. Helen couldn't have achieved great success without Anne's care. Helen is Anne's pride and a miracle in the history of world literature, and Anne is the creator of this miracle.
