A Quote

"Literature is my Utopia. Here I am not disenfranchised. No barrier of the senses shuts me out from the sweet, gracious discourses of my book friends. They talk to me without embarrassment or awkwardness."
- Helen Keller

This quote means that though she cannot see, nor here that she still reads, and that reading is something that she cherishes,and that she is finds it good to have something that is not timid or having it found awkward to talk to her due to her lack of sight and hearing.


"Never bend your head. Hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye."
- Helen Keller

In this quote she is saying that no matter what happens to you, no matter what the world throws at you, to always hold your head high and to never back away. Like wise, when she became blind and deaf at a young age, when she became older she was still able to live in the real world, to read, and go to collage, and make something of her life even though she was at a disadvantage.

Hi Sally!
Your quote and response is really descriptive. I really like how you added more than one quote. It's hard for me to give consructive feedback like this but...I'd say maybe add a picture. I really have no feedback. It's strong.
