1. I thought this narrative was very interesting. I never knew how Helen started to learn, so this narrative gave me a good description on how she started to be able to put connections between words and objects.
2. The most interesting thing about this narrative was how she began to learn. It is remarkable that someone that can't hear or see can learn so many new things. It was important that Helen never gave up on what she was doing, so she always kept at it even though it was hard for her.
3. What surprised me was that she never gave up. If I was in that situation I would most likely get too frustrated to continue because I'm sure it is so hard to try to learn when you can't understand since she was blind and deaf.
4. I never really knew much about Helen Keller, so this narrative did change my look on her because I learned how dedicated she was to learning and that she didn't give up.
5. Imagery: "The afternoon sun penetrated the mass of honeysuckle that covered the porch, and fell on my upturned face."
"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?"
"As the cool stream gushed over one hand she spelled into the other the word water, first slowly, then rapidly."
6. A narrative can be more engaging than a biography because a narrative gives specific details with good descriptions, and a biography is just lighly talking about things that have happened in your life.
