Significance OfHelen Keller

1A Bit of Background InformationAs a child Helen was diagnosed with meningitis which caused her to become blind. She had a special teacher- Anne Sullivan taught Helen how to spell (As she was deaf as well as blind). As you probably guessed, life for her was hard. 2What Is This About?I would like to explain to you the significance of Helen Keller and how today society has learned from her to change the welfare and rights that the deaf and blind have.3Growing Her ReputationDuring Helen's college years attending Radcliffe College she achieved an unbelievable amount and her recognition started to bloom! She met John F. Kennedy to (president of the United States of America). Keller was even lucky to publish her own book called "The Story of My Life". She also published four other books in relation to herself. In 1918 Keller made her first Hollywood movie to dramatize the blind.

4The Last StrandSadly, in 1936 Helen's teacher Anne Sullivan died which obviously, caused an impact on her life. Time past, gradually, over time and her book, The Storey of My Life, was turned into a television drama that brought a tear to everyones eyes. The drama included all her achievments and break through but, suddenly, that came to a abrupt end when in 1961 she suffered from a series of strokes which lead to her death. 5Forever In Our Hearts1880-1968 R.I.P6
