1) I thought this narrative was going to be something that i would not enjoy at frist. But as we got into it i came to the realization that this narrative was giving me a new perspective on what Helen went through. What many people go through today. I could sense the frustration she had because i know that i would have probably given up if i were her. She stuck with it even thought she did not see any hope and that is something that we all ought to do when things get tough. Stick with it and soon there will be light.
2) What interested me was when she compared herself to a ship in the fog. I imagined it myself.
3) It suprised me that Helen pushed through. At frist she did not understand but once she did it was like her attitude did a complete turn around.
4) This did change my views on Helen Keller. I still don't fully understand all that she went through but i did get a small feel for it. The analogies in the narrotive made it so that i could relate well.
5) 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? I became impatient at her repeated attempts and, seizing the new doll, I dashed it upon the floor. I was keenly delighted when I felt the fragments of the broken doll at my feet. I felt my way to the hearth and picked up the pieces. I tried vainly to put them together. Then my eyes filled with tears; for I realized what I had done, and for the first time I felt repentance and sorrow.
6) Analogies and things that many can relate to or imagine gets the reader engaded as well as keeps them interested, giving them a feel for how someone was feeling.
7) - things that i fear -things that are important to me - personal struggles -family struggles -when my grandma died -when i got stitches
I'm glad taht you ended up enjoying the narrative! I'm looking forward to the own tnarrative taht you will write!
