A response to Helen Keller's Narrative

1. What did you think of this narrative?
     I thought that her narrative was rather interesting.
2. What was most interesting or engaging about it?
     The thing that was most interesting and engaging about her narrative was that it showed the spirit of discovery, and how revalations like those can affect an individual.
3. What surprised you?
     I was surprised by Helen Keller's superb ability to sense her surroundings, despite the lack of sight and hearing.
4. Did this change your outlook on Helen Keller at all? Why or why not?
     I now believe Helen Keller to be a much more literate and educated person than I previously thought.
5. Copy and paste three examples of vivid detail and imagery that helped enhance the story
    -In the still, dark world in which I lived there was no strong sentiment or tenderness.
    -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.
    -The afternoon sun penetrated the mass of honeysuckle that covered the porch, and fell on my upturned face.
6. How can a narrative be more engaging than something like a biography? Why is it important to get someone's personal perspective?
     I do believe that a narrative can be more engaging than something like a biography, due to the personal input and thought that is put into the writing. It is important to get someone's personal perspective because it adds feeling to the story that can be perceived by the reader, further putting them into the moment, and almost giving them the same sense of the surroundings that the writer experienced.
7. Make a bulleted lists of some things you could write a narrative about
    -The day at the Real World Design Challenge when I designed my own wing mathematically
    -When I got my wisdom teeth removed
    -My first day in high school
    -Discovering the world that is Latin Convention
