When asked if she was afraid to die, Keller responded, “Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there's a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see.” Rest in Heavenly Peace
Awfully eloquent for a person who never saw or heard language at any point in their life to come up with or express. I don't find the story believable at all unless 99.99% of her "quotes" were just Sullivan's.
@@hendo337 She could use a typewriter and a pen to communicate in written English, how is sight or hearing even relevant? What does "eloquence" have to do with being blind or deaf? Helen Keller wrote nearly half of her books in the decades after Anne Sullivan's death. Her political views and writing style did not change as she switched between multiple different caretakers in her life. You're simply fundamentally close-minded, incurious, and unintelligent to the point that comprehending another person's experiences are beyond your mental capacity. Theoretical physicists and mathematicians have come to understand four-dimensional space for goodness's sake, a blind deaf person learning to communicate isn't even surprising. Today, it's both common and expected.
ElleJ Bib Except she was lol. The word “dumb” originally was used to describe someone who did not speak, also known as a mute. It wasnt until later that “dumb” would come to describe a person of little intelligence.
I remember when she died. Its obviously impossible for those of us that are healthy and with our hearing & vision intact to know what people like Hellen Keller go through. I have a very sweet cousin that was born deaf. God bless ALL teachers for the deaf & blind, and of course God bless the deaf & blind as well.
Yes, she was an amazing woman. I wish she was still alive, I would have loved to have a chance to meet her. RIP, Helen Keller. BTW, 5 dislikes, shame on you.
She was a world wonder. Imagine the person inside of her that she couldn’t bring out until her epiphany. She was clearly intelligent her parents knew that because I think she started talking at six months or so. The woman she grew up to be and all because she finally realized a word meant a specific thing. One of the most inspirational and goosebump inducing stories of human history.
I love the story tho about how she had no perception of time so somtimes she would wake up at 3 am and sit at the dinner table screaming until she was fed.
@@ShaiLai I was toning down my response, before.. "Neuro-divergent" ppl sometimes have this, plus ppl who just have circadian rhythm disorders, for whatever reason. I have DPSD, or delayed phase sleep disorder-- means my internal clock is set about 4-6 hours later than most ppl's. Not sure why. Have had this condition my entire life. The jury is still out on whether I'm neuro-divergent, too. That being said, I know a lot of ADHD ppl; who sleep quite normally. No, I'm not a clinician: just read a lot and have so-called neuro-divergent friends and family : )
Certainly, Helen Keller overcame immense obstacles; but, I was always more impressed with Anne Sullivan. I believe Patty Duke, as a child, played Keller as a girl in one movie; and, as an adult, played Sullivan in a later movie.
You're right. I forgot about that. I still believe Sullivan was the wind beneath Keller's wings. Without Sullivan, Keller would have been institutionalized.
There are those that brings destruction to the world and there are those who brings HOPE to the world. Helen, what a journey that you had endured and the hope that you gave to the world, your legacy will never be forgotten.
This sounded like she was desperate for her to learn because at any moment, she would have to leave by her parents if she doesn’t learn. She did not want to give up on her.
I think it’s pretty cool that she kinda had the same old-timey accent as the people that she learned to speak from, even if it was just by feeling their mouths
I watched a video of a woman that is deaf that has a Brooklyn accent because growing up around there she picked up on how people moved their mouths when they spoke and she did the same thing
@@wingsofhope3789 Accents lie in the ears of the beholder. She didn't think she had an accent. If you're from a place and ppl speak that way all the time, is that an accent?
@avecxesar ASL as a language can be difficult, but finger-spelling (which I imagine she used), isn't that difficult for any age. If you know the alphabet, you can learn finger-spelling in a short time. However, I should have said congratulations to him/her for spelling "Helen Keller" in Sign (or probably finger spelling, in this case)!
For sure Helen Keller is a figure to admire and remember, but I think there has been little justice given to her teacher... I think she deserves just as much recognition! Pity we don’t even know her name...
Her first teacher was named Anne Sullivan. During her life she had a series of live in female companions who helped her with daily tasks , getting from place to place, and translating her speech.
Believe it or not, Helen Keller is one of my great ancestors from my father's side of the family! I just recently took interest in her. It also explains my name. Sullivan. I was named after Anne Sullivan because of that.
I just came from a Tik Tok that a dude was saying how Helen Keller wasn’t a real person. Like bruh, she was real! It was a miracle that she could do anything!
I cannot possibly imagine how you can ascibre meaning above the simple tangible concepts like "water" to someone who is deaf and blind, let alone a book full of grand ideas on humanities and inspirational quotes. Hell, I can't even write a full-length book. This is the most OP person I've ever seen, the most inexplicable story and the most inspirational character.
@@LS-ei7xk Because she was an infant when she went deaf/blind. A baby doesnt know what water is. So either she isnt fully deaf or blind (which I believe) or theyre lying.
@@niyanna NOT TRUE! Actually, she was 19 months old when she fell ill; by six months, she knew the word "water"; I believe that, because my daughter was six months old when she said "goggy" (for doggy). If you watch the movie, "The Miracle Worker", Helen was able to tap into that word buried deep in her subconscious, when she finally connected the finger- spelling of "water" to the concept of water. Why is that so hard to believe? The mind is an amazing thing. Lying has nothing to do with it.
From a linguistic point of view, I think this is brilliant! I don't know who came up with this system, the hand placement, but it's absolutely brilliant. Complete genius.
I’ve sometimes had anxiety attacks like this. Like the feeling of being alone in a dark empty chamber, cannot see, cannot hear. Rest In Peace Helen Keller.
Such a remarkable woman. She lived a full life, and lived the best she could and didn’t have excuses like so many of us do. She was determined and intelligent
Oh wow. I heard of Heller Heller but I knew little to nothing about her. I don't recall ever being taught about her which is a shame because she should be the symbol for how anyone can accomplish anything if they try hard enough. All I knew was she was deaf. I don't think I knew she was blind. I didn't know she was deaf and blind at a young age but still learnt to speak. That is incredible! Like I saw someone say in these comments, she deserves to be on a dollar bill.
In grade 1, I remember reading a scholastica book about Helen Keller. I think it may have also had braille on the back cover. I later became a speech therapist. Now I realise that that little book must have left a lasting impression on me. Now I think I will find out a bit more about her life. I only just made the connection after watching this short video.
She truly is a remarkable and inspirational figure. I hope her legacy continues to inspire us today. She beat the odds and learned to speak, this person can inspire those who are deaf to let their voices be heard, despite not being heard by themselves.
I love Helen Keller, dont get me wrong, but the Norwegian Ragnhild Kåta was actually Helens teachers inspiration. Ragnhild Kåtas teacher, Elias Hofgaard, actually came up with the idea of letting deafblind touch mouths and learn language through touch. Helen will always be an inspiration because of her many books and her work towards deafblind people's rights, but Ragnhild also deserves praise.
That's interesting! I knew about Laura Bridgman and Perkins Institute and all that, but not about Ragnhild Kata. Though now that you mention it, it's coming back to me, so perhaps I did read that, a long time ago. Thank you!
Literally the people in this comments section are so dumb. “HoW iS tHis PoSsiBle- She cAnt heAr???” So because she doesn’t know the English language- she can’t speak? How do you suspect bilingual people learn to speak? Or babies? Or how dogs learn to do tricks? Living beings can be taught to do things idk why that’s such a hard concept to grasp.
@@azkaranaufathal-qirafa4140 As the video showed she put her hand to other people's mouths, and felt the different vibrations that all the letter sounds make. Then she just tried to copy them, and was able to speak for herself. Pretty amazing really.
I don’t think I can imagine what it’s like not being able to see or hear anything! But Helen Keller sure did find her own ways to communicate her thoughts!
There’s no way she’s real I don’t mean to seem ableist but there’s physically no way she would know what life was. She was literally in a black void like how would she know what a word was. HOW ARE THE SCHOOLS JUST GOING TO TELL US SHE WROTE A BOOK.
The vibrators back then were steam-powered and quite cumbersome to use. Next came the gasoline-powered models, and then finally the handy electric appliances in use today.
For example, Sullivan would spell "water" into Keller’s hand while running water over her hand. This created a connection between the tactile sensation and the concept of water. over repetition and persistence hellen began to associate with whats being spelled in her hand with the objects in the outside world. Helen Keller would also touch peoples faces and their mouths to feel the vibrations and movement their mouth was making, and emulate that. humans can learn through associations, and touch
She was taught by her teacher Anne Sullivan. She learned how to read braille and fingerspell words. When she went to college, Anne Sullivan will fingerspell in Helen's hand while the professor is lecturing. Her teacher stayed with Helen Keller until the teacher's death. Watch the movie Miracle Worker or read her autobiography. She is a fascinating woman.
In fact Helen Keller was a radical socialist, an admirer and comrade of Eugene Debs, and her work on disability rights, women's and racial equality were all part of this wider struggle for a more just society on the basis of a more rational economic system. Plenty of biographies of her airbrush this out, including the one above. Google "Helen Keller politics" to find out more.
Funny how there's never been another deaf-blind person who could do the same thing. Funny how Helen Keller's political and religious views were The same as her teacher's. Is it not impossible she was taught to do a few things as a performance?
Other deaf blind ppl have been educated; perhaps, not to that degree. She did NOT have the same views as her teacher. Her teacher, Anne Sullivan was an atheist. Helen embraced the Swedenborgian faith.

You learn understand and speak a language before reading or writing.
She did read and write, braille
For example, Sullivan would spell "water" into Keller’s hand while running water over her hand. This created a connection between the tactile sensation and the concept of water. over repetition and persistence hellen began to associate with whats being spelled in her hand with the objects in the outside world. Helen Keller would also touch peoples faces and their mouths to feel the vibrations and movement their mouth was making, and emulate that. humans can learn through associations, and touch

She was taught by her teacher Anne Sullivan. She learned how to read braille and fingerspell words. When she went to college, Anne Sullivan will fingerspell in Helen's hand while the professor is lecturing. Her teacher stayed with Helen Keller until the teacher's death. Watch the movie Miracle Worker or read her autobiography. She is a fascinating woman.
Dominika Juliette bro it was just a joke no need to attack me bruv. I know she’s amazing chill. ♥️

how in any way was your comment a joke?
Watching this cause caseoh makes a great point
In fact Helen Keller was a radical socialist, an admirer and comrade of Eugene Debs, and her work on disability rights, women's and racial equality were all part of this wider struggle for a more just society on the basis of a more rational economic system. Plenty of biographies of her airbrush this out, including the one above. Google "Helen Keller politics" to find out more.
She would definitely have been a Bernie Sanders supporter, put it that way.
@@southwarkmomentum3311 Ah yes supporting the poor and disabled! What a crime!
Without Anne Sullivan, none of these would have happened. She didn't have to do it, but she chose it and did it all her life.
Funny how there's never been another deaf-blind person who could do the same thing. Funny how Helen Keller's political and religious views were The same as her teacher's. Is it not impossible she was taught to do a few things as a performance?
There are so many deaf blind people who learnt to speak! U live under a rock or in US
@@vloggermum LOL Helen Keller was born in Alabama USA.
Other deaf blind ppl have been educated; perhaps, not to that degree. She did NOT have the same views as her teacher. Her teacher, Anne Sullivan was an atheist. Helen embraced the Swedenborgian faith.
Helen Keller lived between 1880 and 1968 ( from Andhrapradesh)
