bobbo49 's review for:
The Story of My Life
by Helen Keller
The first part of the story was a great (if belated) revelation for me: abstract thought is not possible without concrete thought first. Christopher explained this to me as well: conceptualizing friendship or love or death is only possible if it is made contextual. Keller's discovery of language, and her ability to develop her brilliant mind without benefit of vision or hearing, are truly amazing and inspirational, even 100 years later.
Although the rest of Keller's story (written when she was at Radcliffe, and only beginning to think about the social injustices she spoke against in later life) is quite remarkable, including her connections to Alexander Graham Bell, Whitman, Twain and others, it is much more pedantic in the telling.
