Similarities/Differences:
When I first started to research about Helen Keller, it seemed like I would never find anything that I had in common with her. She was strong-willed, deaf, blind and an activist. As I started to dig deeper however, I realized that we did have a few similarities. First of all, we are both animal lovers. As a child, Helen would love to play for hours with her dog, which at times was her only friend. After she learned how to use her hands to talk, she would spell out words in her dog’s paw to help her practice. Another thing is that I am not a quitter, and neither is Helen. She could have easily given up any time she started to struggle, but she didn’t. In my life I will seldom start something and then quit. I like to follow through with any activity I do. Helen Keller also became an author and adored writing numerous books, poems and speeches. While I am not an author, I have enjoyed writing stories since I was in grade school. As it turns out, Helen Keller and I shared a few similarities.

Greatest Person Poem:
Helen Keller you were inspiring.
You were an avid learner and a goal setter.
You were helpful, and you never stopped trying.
How I exclaimed with enthusiasm
When you discovered how to “speak” at the water pump.
Then you persevered through Radcliffe College and earned your bachelor’s degree.
Saying, “I am no different than anyone else!”

You were ambitious, Helen Keller.
You

    In “To Girls Who Are Going to College” by Helen Keller, Keller uses an overarching passionate tone that shifts from reminiscent to instructive in order to strengthen college women’s confidence. Through repetition of the word “you”, Keller comes across as sentimental, almost as if she is trying to recall her own memories in the eyes of the reader. By trying to reenact her memories in the form of writing, Keller succeeds in drawing the audience together to sympathize with college women. On the other hand, women visualize themselves through her memories and become reassured that everything will work out fine. Keller’s reflective tone…

    Loewen first started off by talking about Helen Keller and Woodrow Wilson, and the process to “heroification” which was quite corrupt. He stated that American History textbooks painted the picture of Keller and Wilson as “perfect creatures without conflicts or human interest” for their course of action to mold them into “heroes”. Loewen felt that Wilson and Keller, and whoever else was glorified, in textbooks led students to misinterpret who they really were.…

    Before chapter 1, the introduction gives plenty of background information and reasoning of the book. The author, James Loewen explains his logic. Loewen states the textbooks used in teaching high school American History are a wrong to students and the nation, the texts and courses seek to protect and inform the truth. Chapter 1’s main idea is “herofication”. He explains that American History textbooks the wrong doers seem like the perfect ones. He points out two 20th century heroes: Helen Keller and Woodrow Wilson, a so called “little person” and a famous president. Most remember the movie scene where blind and deaf Keller spells "water" on Anne Sullivan's hand and all accept the moral that anyone can be helped to reach their potential. Few college students know that Keller graduates college, studies how blindness is statistically intense in the lower class, and uses her fame to effect change. Keller becomes a radical socialist and supports progressive causes. Whether you agree with Keller's positions or not, Americans should know the radical she is. Millions will never know the real truth.…
