1. What did you think of this narrative?
I thought it was sad but had a joyful feeling to it at the same time
2. What was most interesting or engaging about it?
Imagining being in her position and having everybody spell things out in your hand
3. What surprised you?
How happy one could be while being blind and deaf
4. Did this change your outlook on Helen Keller at all? Why or why not?
No, I have already seen short clips and stories about Helen Keller and they all say basically the same thing as this narrative.
5. Copy and paste three examples of vivid detail and imagery that helped enhance the story
The afternoon sun penetrated the mass of honeysuckle that covered the porch, and fell on my upturned face.
I did not know that I was spelling a word or even that words existed; I was simply making my fingers go in monkey-like imitation.
In the still, dark world in which I lived there was no strong sentiment or tenderness.
6. How can a narrative be more engaging than something like a biography? Why is it important to get someone's personal perspective?
It gives specific insights to how one feels about a situation, there is a lot more raw emotion if you get someone's personal perspective.
7. Make a bulltted lists of some things you could write a narrative about
-Learning to ride my bike
-Learning how to drive manual transmission
-Experiences w/friends
-Learning to box
-Game winning goal senior night
-Change in work ethic after fractures in my back
