Hellen Keller wrote to inform people about her life.

I think she is very descriptive.

I also think Hellen is a great exaple for everyone. She shows us that you can accomplish something eventhough its hard.

I admire Hellen Keller because she learned to speak when she was deaf and blind.

Robinson
