She had no interest in the world. She was very unlucky then.2) How do you understand “light” in the first paragraph? On the one hand, She was blind and could see nothing. She didnt know what “light” was. On the other hand, “light” means “love”. She could feel this “love” through her mind eyes.3) What did Helen mean by saying “That living word awakened my soul, give it light, hope, joy and set it free!” in para 3?To her, the word “water” became a dividing line between the darkness and bright days. With this living word, she knew that life was full of love, hope, joy and freedom. She opened a door to life through this word.4) In para 4, Helen wrote “Everything had a name, and each name gave birth to a new thought.” Whats your understanding of “a new thought”?With the name of a thing, she cameto a new look at the thing.
