Helen Keller

1. What did you think of this narrative?
-I thought it was really interesting how she was able to learn new things just by the spelling of the letters on her hand, and feeling the object.  It was very humbling.
2. What was most interesting or engaging about it?
-The most interesting part was to think about what I would do if i was in that situation and how I would react.

3. What surprised you?
-It suprised me that she was able to connect things together and eventually learned how to string words together without hearing.

4. Did this change your outlook on Helen Keller at all? Why or why not?
-No. we learned about Helen Keller in the years before so I already knew this story.

5. Copy and paste three examples of vivid detail and imagery that helped enhance the story
a) Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog, when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness shut you in, and the great ship, tense and anxious, groped her way toward the shore with plummet and sounding-line, and you waited with beating heart for something to happen?
b)I was like that ship before my education began, only I was without compass or sounding-line, and had no way of knowing how near the harbour was.
c)That living word 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.

6. How can a narrative be more engaging than something like a biography? Why is it important to get someone's personal perspective?
-A narrative is more engaging than a biography because a biography is mainly all facts harder to read.  A narrative has taken facts and put them into an interesting story.
