Today I'm here to talk about Helen Keller!!!.....ya not the MOST exciting but I am gonna make u luv it!
The reason like Helen Keller is one of the American Heros! The reason I appreciate her is,she was BLIND and DEATH(As in blind not,u know...dead) but still managed to speak the language we speak and learn 2 more languages(French and Greek). She's just a great inspiration. To me,Helen just makes me think I can do anything if I just tried - which is the COMPLETE opposite of me(sometimes) - and just put ur mind to it.
This girl Annie came to help Helen when Helen was 7,nobody at that time thought death and blind people could EVER speak(since u have to be able to hear whats ur saying to speak clearly). Well,Annie wanted to PROVE THEM WRONG(GO ANNIE,GO ANNIE)!!! Annie helped Helen read braile,speak,and she traveled around the world with Helen when she grew up. Helen died around her 88th b-day( D': HOW SAD!).
The way Annie taught Helen to speak sign language is first she lets Helen touch the stuff she is talking about,then do the sign in Helen's hand. AT first Helen did not know what it ment,but as time went by Helen got use to it. Helen was a very....well....not well mannered little girl since her parents pity her so they wouldnt have punished Helen for ANYTHING she did.Geez...wish my parents pity me.But I dont think I would like people pitying me :\ Anyways.......thats y Helen was a rude girl. But,Annie took care of that. Annie grew up to be authors of 13 books,traveled around the world with Annie. Annie helped translate sign language in conferences and stuff like that.
Ok,I think I've made my point. Helen was a great inspiration blah,blah,blaaahhhh. BTW! I forgot to add Helen grew up to be one of the Great American Heros. But I think Annie should of been the great american hero since SHE was the first person to teach a blind AND death person to read and write....o well! THE REST IS HISTORY!
