Summary:
Helen Keller was not born deaf, blind and mute and neither was Annie Sullivan. Ms. Sullivan had a very hard childhood full of struggles one right after another. She was poor, half blind and loss her entire family. Ms. Sullivan was a wild child so to speak until she was taken under the wing of Mrs. Hopkins who showed Annie unconditional love. With a new look on life Ms. Sullivan began a new life one with a calmness and determination. Within this new life Ms. Sullivan gave another person a new life and this person is none other than Helen Keller.
What I thought:
This book is amazing and I think it should be a must read for elementry students. It never really dawned on me that a person with disablities could teach another person with the same disablities. Today’s generation can learn a lot from Ms. Sullivan and Ms. Keller the main lesson they would learn is that no matter what struggles you are having in life there is no excuse to act a fool or use those struggles as an excuse as to why they act out.
Ending:
Ms. Sullivan was given a gift of unconditional love and an education. She took these two precious gifts and gave them to a little girl named Helen Keller. Who turned out to be an American author, political activist and a lecturer. Ms Keller was the first deaf and blind person to achieve a great accomplishment as earning her bachelor of arts degree.
