Helen Keller detailed the events of her life from her birth to her early twenties in her autobiography, The Story of My Life. She detailed many important events in her life. The following are four very important ones:

- Helen Keller lost her sight and hearing when she was almost two years old. She had what doctors called "acute congestion of the stomach and brain." They thought that Helen might not live. She did live, but the sickness caused her to become deaf and blind.

- Annie Sullivan came to live with the Keller family. She became Helen's teacher and her constant companion. Miss Sullivan was a determined woman. She did not give up on Helen.

- After many attempts, Annie helped Helen to discover language. Helen had a breakthrough moment when Miss Sullivan held her hand under a waterspout. As the water poured over Helen's hand, Miss Sullivan spelled "w-a-t-e-r" into the girl's palm. Helen made the connection that those letters meant the cool liquid. After that, she began to learn how to communicate through fingerspelling. Helen later said that the word "water" "awakened [her] soul, gave it light, hope, joy, set it free!"

- Miss Sullivan taught Helen how to communicate and learn. Helen was able to go to school. She attended school beginning in 1894. Helen studied mathematics, literature, history, and many other subjects. She learned to write using a special typewriter. Helen also made attempts to learn how to speak. Helen even went to college.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

Buck did not cry out. he did not check himself, but drove in upon spitz, shoulder to shoulder, so hard that he missed the throat. they rolled over and over in the powdery snow. spitz gained his feet almost as though he had not been overthrown, slashing buck down the shoulder and leaping clear. twice his teeth clipped together, like the steel jaws of a trap, as he backed away for better footing, with lean and lifting lips that writhed and snarled. read this passage. explain what the conflict shows about buck and spitz.
