    Q1. Introduction: Who was Helen Keller?

    Helen Keller was born on June 27, 1880, in Alabama, USA. She became
    deaf and blind at two years of age due to some illness. Captain Arthur
    Keller and Kate Adams Keller were her parents.

    Helen lived in Tuscumbia, Alabama. She later worked as a famous author,


    speaker, and advocate for a better life for the disabled in the world.

     Helen first went to the Perkins School for the Blind in Boston, where
    she learned to communicate.

     She later attended the Wright-Humason School for the Deaf in New
    York to improve her speech.

     She also studied at The Cambridge School for Young Ladies to


    prepare for college.

     Helen graduated from Radcliffe College in 1904, becoming the first


    deaf-blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree.

    Q3. Personality: What character traits helped her succeed?

     Helen was determined, brave, and hardworking. She didn’t give up,
    even when things were tough.

    challenges and succeed.

    Q4. Books Helen Keller wrote:

     Helen's first book, The Story of My Life, talks about her early life and
    how she learned to communicate.

     She also wrote The World I Live In about her experiences as a deaf-
    blind person, and Out of the Dark about social issues.

     Helen wrote many other books and essays on different topics.

    Q5. Annie Sullivan:

     Annie Sullivan was Helen Keller's teacher and lifelong companion.


    She taught Helen how to communicate by spelling words into her
    hand.

     Annie helped Helen learn language, read books, and understand the
    world around her. Without Annie’s help, Helen might not have
    achieved all that she did.

    water pump and spelled "W-A-T-E-R" into her hand as water flowed
    over it.

     That moment was the breakthrough when Helen realized that the
    letters spelled into her hand represented the word "water." This
    helped her understand that everything had a name.
