Q1. What did you think of this narrative?
A1. Reading the narrative made me think of Helen as more of an intelligent human being rather than the blind/deaf girl everyone makes jokes about.Q2. What was most interesting or engaging about it?
A2. What I found most engaging abot this was thinking of how that moment with feeling the water at the well must have felt, learning that everything has a name and then wanting to know what that must have been like for her.Q3. What surprised you?
A3. The narrative wasn't surprising as much at it was interesting. Just about everyone has heard the story of Helen Keller, the blind and deaf girl, but to actually read about her life is very interesting. Without having any experience being blind or deaf, much less both of them together, you could say that eveything about this surprised me.Q4. Did this change your outlook on Helen Keller at all? Why or why not?
A4. This definitely changed my outlook on Helen Keller. It shows her as an actual person, not a crazy story of a disabled girl.Q5. Copy and paste three examples of vivid detail and imagery that helped enhance the story
A5. We walked down the path to the well-house, attracted by the fragrance of the honeysuckle with which it was covered.
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?
The afternoon sun penetrated the mass of honeysuckle that covered the porch, and fell on my upturned face.
Q6. How can a narrative be more engaging than something like a biography? Why is it important to get someone's personal perspective?
A6. A narrative is more engaging than a biography because with a narrative you get how that person felt at every moment of the event happening, their emotion. With a biography you only see the event itself but are left guessing at how this directly effected the person.Q7. Make a bulltted lists of some things you could write a narrative about
-First time riding my motorcycle
-The 3 times i took my drivers test
-First time meeting my girlfriend
-Moving from Toledo to Worthington
-Skiing at Holiday Valley
