Helen Keller- Andrea Reynolds

1. I thought this narrative was very interesting and describing; because i never knew some of these things about Helen Keller which i find amazing.

2.What i thought was interesting about this narrative is that Helen Keller was very passionate about the things she describe. In the narrative you did not see Helen Keller complain about being her being blind or death which i found appealing. She used a lot of describing words which i liked.

3. When Helen was learning words like mother, father,sister, and teacher was very suprising to me.

4. Yes this change my outlook on Helen Keller but for the better, because i did not know that Helen Keller was able to do all these things that she has done. She was able to learn words and find ways of communicating which would be a very hard thing to do.

5.We walked down the path to the well-house, attracted by the fragrance of the honeysuckle with which it was covered. Some one was drawing water and my teacher placed my hand under the spout. As the cool stream gushed over one hand she spelled into the other the word water, first slowly, then rapidly. I stood still, my whole attention fixed upon the motions of her fingers. Suddenly I felt a misty consciousness as of something forgotten--a thrill of returning thought; and somehow the mystery of language was revealed to me. I knew then that "w-a-t-e-r" meant the wonderful cool something that was flowing over my hand.One day, while I was playing with my new doll, Miss Sullivan put my big rag doll into my lap also, spelled "d-o-l-l" and tried to make me understand that "d-o-l-l" applied to both.

6. To make a biography more engaging you should add more describing words; so that the viewers and readers know what you are talking about and thatt they can visual.
