1. What did you think of this narrative?
I thought that this narrative was really interesting. I don't know much about Helen Keller's life, but this story gave me a little more insight on how difficult she had it.

2. What was most interesting or engaging about it?
I think that the most interesting thing about it is that she learned all these names for objects because of this one teacher. If this teacher  had never come to Helen Keller to teach her, her life would have been drastically changed and she wouldn't be a figure of hope and overcoming obsticels, today.

3. What surprised you?
I think the thing that most surprised me is that she didn't even know what water was. It's hard to comprehend what not knowing what water was or even looked like.

4. Did this change your outlook on Helen Keller at all? Why or why not?
I deffinantly have more respect for Helen Keller now because I know now the kind of hardships she went through. You would have to have a lot of patience and determination to learn every thing like she did.

5. Copy and paste three examples of vivid detail and imagery that helped enhance the story

1.  As we returned to the house every object which I touched seemed to quiver with life.
2. Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog, when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness shut you in, and the great ship, tense and anxious, groped her way toward the shore with plummet and sounding-line, and you waited with beating heart for something to happen?
3. My fingers lingered almost unconsciously on the familiar leaves and blossoms which had just come forth to greet the sweet southern spring.

6. How can a narrative be more engaging than something like a biography? Why is it important to get someone's personal perspective?
It can be more engaging to read a narative because it is coming from someones personal experience. It is important to get someone's personal perspective because they know exactly how they feel, whereas in a biography, the person wrighting about the other person has to make asumptions.
