 Helen Keller: Toward the Light February 14, 2006
I gave this book a five star rating because of its excellence of discribing the life of Hellen Keller from when she was born to finally when she died. This book discribes what she did when she was blind and deaf.
This book was about how smart Helen was when she was little although she was blind and deaf. Some important events were when a teacher named Annie taught her to read with her fingers.Her parents were in desperate of getting her a teacher so she can some what get to learn something and Annie ddi her job very well. Another one is when she also learned to spell by feeling the shape and texture of any object she got. The next on is when Helen knew enough words to spell she was capeable of asking questions. For example she asked "What do my mother, father and sister, and teacher look like?" She also learned how to count with wooden beads and straws. Lastly when Annie and Helen moved in together, because her family thet she had lived with had died, Helen and Annie stoped traveling to make their lecture trips which was caused by the the sad war news. When Annie, the teacher, had died Helen started recieving sympathy letters from strangers around the world. She soon started to give speaches and give help to the blind and the deaf.
I thought this was a great book so i hope you do if you read this book. Enjoy!

This isn''t the Hellen Keller I remember reading about as a child. I know the book is part of many school libraries, but I found the characters flat and dull. I want more detail. These were fascinating women.
