Helen
Keller was born in Alabama (USA) in 1880. She was deaf, dumb and blind. Anne
Sullivan, a graduate from Perkins Institute for the Deaf, became her teacher
and governess and remained her companion for many years. In view of her work for the handicapped,

“Three
Days To See” is a fascinating account of what we can really see, perceive and
assimilate from the wonderful world around us. The writer, while making a
systematic plan of all nights, makes one realize how insensitive human beings
are to their senses.
We
are all gifted with many natural abilities like seeing, listening and hearing
but how far we are using these abilities properly? What are our perceives and
assimilations towards the world. These things are going to explain in this
lesson:
THE DAY ONE
She
wants to see the people who helped her with kindness and gentleness and
companionship.
Her
dear teacher Mrs. AnneSullivan Macy and wants to study teachers face who is the
evidence of sympathetic tenderness and patience. She likes to see in her teacher’s eyes which give strength of character which has enabled her to stand firm in the face of difficulties, and that compassion for all humanity which she has revealed to me so often.
She wants see all her dear friends and look long into their faces, imprinting upon her mind the outward evidences of the beauty.
She is going to give some rest to her eyes. And busy with viewing small simple things of her home. She wants to see the warm colours in the rugs under her feet, the pictures on the walls, the intimate trifles that transform a house into home.
She is going to read some printed colourful books which are helping to understand the human life and human spirit.
First day afternoon she wants to take long walk in the woods and intoxicate her eyes on the beauties of the world of nature, trying desperately to absorb the beauty of the nature permanently in her mind.
At night she is going to get interesting experience by seeing artificial light, which the genius of man has created to extend the power of his sight when Nature decrees darkness. She is not going to sleep because her mind is full of memories of the day. And waiting for the second day experience.
THE DAY TWO
With
the help of great museums like New York Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art
and the Museum of Natural History.In the second day she needs to know the past and present history and the great progress of human kind, how the man achieved the control on the world with his tiny stature and powerful brain.
She tries to know how the man created his secure home on this planet and a thousand and one other aspects of natural history.
She plans to observe different things like, at Museum of Natural History material aspects, at Metropolitan show the myriad facets of the human spirit. And different art styles Roman sculpture, Gothic wood carving and the simple line of a Greek vase etc.,
She needs to look the magnificent world of paintings like Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci, Titian El Greco, Veronese and Rembrandt.
In the second day evening she is going to spend the time at a theater or at the movies there she need to observe and watch the different characters like Hamlet, Falstaff and Joseph Jefferson, Rip Van Winkle etc.,
All together the second day is an imaginary day of sight, the great figures of dramatic literature would crown sleep from her eyes.
THE DAY THREE:
On
third and last day she left the home and reached the quiet little suburb of
Forest Hill, Long Island. There she observed surround beauties like green
lawns, trees, and flowers neat little houses and the vices and movements of
wives and children who are taking relaxation.Next she went near the East River there she observed man’s imaginary power and racy speed boats, stolid, snorting tugs etc., and twin towers of New York
Then she started to round the city there she stroll down the Fifth Avenue and Part Avenue during this time she observed the colors of women’s dresses, city slums, factories and parks etc.,
CONCLUSION:
The God gave very precious and powerful gifts to us but we are not using them properly if we use these valuable gifts we can make wonders in the world. Ms Helen Keller had triple physical challenges but she took her life as a challenge and she achieved and created history. The evidence is her five great inspiring books. Through this lesson we can learn how to lead our life in positive prospect. And how to use our natural powerful gifts to make our lives for good cause.
THE DRUNKARD
W. H. Smith
William H. Smith (1807 – 1972) was born in Montagomeryshire, North
Wales, “The Drunkard opened on February 25th, 1844 and by July 12th,
1874 had completed 450 shows. The play is considered to be the best example of
a “Temperence” drama and was proclaimed as “a grand sacred concert with all the
sacred music”. The excerpt from The Drunkard reveals the reason for it having
been labeled as a Moral Drama”. It focuses on the conversation between a
successful villainous Cribbs and Edward Middleton as irresponsible and
wayward drunkard rejected by family as well as society.
“The Drunkard” or “The
Fallen Saved” is
an American temperance play first performed in 1844. The
villainous Lawyer Cribbs has long held a grudge against the Middleton family,
even though he has served as their attorney. When young Edward Middleton's
father dies, Cribbs attempts to persuade Edward to dispossess a poor mother and
daughter who are Middleton's tenants. Instead, Edward falls in love with the
daughter, Mary, and marries her. But Edward has a weakness: drink. Cribbs
insidiously encourages Edward's weakness, until Edward, ashamed and seemingly
impoverished, flees to the degradation of New York's Five Points district.
Cribbs follows him there and attempts to turn him into a forger, but Edward's
better nature prevails. Edward's foster‐brother
William and a rich philanthropist, Arden Rencelaw, seek him out, rehabilitate
him, and reunite him with his wife and young daughter. Cribbs is forced to
reveal that he has hidden Edward's grandfather's will and that Edward is really
still a wealthy man. The melodrama was first presented, as part of a temperance
crusade, in Boston in 1844, and within a year, it had been played there a
hundred times, including performances at the Tremont Temple and at the Boston
Museum. The play was offered by a temperance group in New York in 1844 but
failed to cause a stir. However, in 1850 it was revived by several New York theaters, most notably at Barnum's American Museum, where its run of one
hundred consecutive performances set a long‐run record for the time.
Even
though, the play was written more than 150 years ago, the power and the flavor
of the playwright’s pen comes through even today. Smith achieves a remarkable
linguistic feat in compressing so much thought into so few words. The impact of
each word is so striking that the reader is bound to react to the basic issues
raised in the play. The language is, interesting and the similes used to
describe feelings and ideas are of special significance in this selection.
This lesson is a best example to
the present generation. It gives a chance to look into their life style, about
the way they are living, their habits and culture. It says the need of
self-control and importance of life purpose and moral values. In addition, it explains
how the youth become an excellence in their career and personal life if they
have moral values and its importance. Source: Internet
