Dear Helen Keller,
I'm glad to write to you again to tell you how your book has influenced me.
I read that you really brought your parents lots of 1 and they didn't know what to do! Then they found a great 2 for you—Ms. Sullivan. With great patience, she showed and taught you that there was a word to describe every object and idea. Because of Ms. Sullivan, you're now able to 3 and write by touch.
I also read that you love to ask questions. So now, I do the same thing as you do. It really helps me a lot to 4 . I am learning more now than I ever did before I lost my hearing. Maybe my mother is 5 when she says "every cloud has a silver lining." Even when something seems really bad, a 6 thing can come from it.
I have a best friend Anna Bailey in my city. When I lost my hearing, I 7 I would lose this friend. I thought she might want to play only with people who could hear. But I was wrong. Anna stayed 8 with me. She even helped me. She told me I would get used to being deaf. "It might take some time," she said. "But you'll find your feet. " She made me feel 9 .
When I first heard about you, I was really 10 and interested. Even though you are deaf and blind, you can do almost anything! You even went to college. You are like a hero to me. I hope that one day I can visit you.
Yours,
Amelia Grant
