Helen Keller (June 27, 1880 - June 1, 1968) was born in Tuscumbia, a small town in northern Alabama. She is an American female writer, educator, philanthropist, and social activist. Helen Keller, who graduated from Radcliffe College of Harvard University in the United States, was deaf-blind.
She suddenly suffered from acute cerebral congestive disease when she was one and a half years old. She suffered from high fever for days and fell into a coma. When she regained consciousness, her eyes were burned out, her ears were burned out, and she couldn't speak.
Due to the loss of hearing, she could not correct her pronunciation errors and her speech was slurred. For a disabled person, the world is dark and silent. Under such circumstances, it is simply impossible to learn to read, write, and speak without a strong memory. However, Helen Keller did not give in to fate. In order to pronounce it clearly, she tied a small rope to a metal rod, held it in her mouth, and held the other end in her hand. She practiced writing a word and pronouncing it with her hands and mouth. In order to prevent the written words from being crooked, she also made a wooden frame and assembled a pulley to practice writing. Of course, teacher Anne Sullivan also made a great contribution. She asked Helen to put her hand on hers. On the throat, Helen felt the vibration of the sound.
