Helen Keller Narrative

1. What did you think of this narrative?
I enjoyed it because it showed the struggle that she had learning such basic things that we take for granted.
2. What was most interesting or engaging about it?

The way that her teacher taught helen words.
3. What surprised you?
It suprised me that helen was able to learn so fast.

4. Did this change your outlook on Helen Keller at all? Why or why not?
Not realy because i already knew a lot about her.
5. Copy and paste three examples of vivid detail and imagery that helped enhance the story

                 1 "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?"
                 2 "sun penetrated the mass of honeysuckle that covered the porch, and fell on my upturned face. "
                 3 "That living word awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, joy, set it free! There were barriers still, it is true, but barriers that could in time be swept away."
6. How can a narrative be more engaging than something like a biography? Why is it important to get someone's personal perspective?

A narrative gives the opinions of the person which alows you to feel what the person was feeling in the story.
7. Make a bulltted lists of some things you could write a narrative about

-skiing
-friends
-sports
-family storys
