1. What did you think of this narrative? I think the narrative was well written because it was really descriptive. I can almost see myself in the stroy, watching all of this happening.
2. What was most interesting or engaging about it? It was something different, and that's what appealed to me the most. I can almost feel what the characters in the story was feeling.
3. What surprised you? I was not really surprised by anything
4. Did this change your outlook on Helen Keller at all? Why or why not? No because I heard of Helen Keller before so none of this was necessarily new to me.
5. Copy and paste three examples of vivid detail and imagery that helped enhance the storyWe walked down the path to the well-house, attracted by the fragrance of the honeysuckle with which it was covered. Some one was drawing water and my teacher placed my hand under the spout. As the cool stream gushed over one hand she spelled into the other the word water, first slowly, then rapidly. I stood still, my whole attention fixed upon the motions of her fingers. Suddenly I felt a misty consciousness as of something forgotten--a thrill of returning thought; and somehow the mystery of language was revealed to me. I knew then that "w-a-t-e-r" meant the wonderful cool something that was flowing over my hand. That living word awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, joy, set it free! There were barriers still, it is true, but barriers that could in time be swept away.
6. How can a narrative be more engaging than something like a biography? Why is it important to get someone's personal perspective? so you can understand their point of view when that particular event took place. biograpgy are kind of boring because it's just stating facts instead of appealing to your senses.
