This play was overall an
amazing experience and it was put on very nicely. It was about two hours long
and just explained the earlier years of Helen Keller’s life. I did not know too
much about her life and what caused her disabilities, so attending this play
really opened my eyes to her life.
Throughout the play, I
experienced many different emotions. I felt very sad for Mr. and Mrs. Keller
when they found out that at just nineteen months old, Helen was diagnosed with
acute congestion. That would be very hard to go through, especially for Mrs.
Keller because Helen was her first child. They had tried everything that they
could to try and help her, but eventually they started to give into her
tantrums and fits just to make her life as good as she could have it. I then
felt happy for the family when they found Annie and decided to have her come to
their house and give it a try because how much worse can it get right? There
were also moments when I laughed because of Helen's tantrums. I found it very
funny when Helen would just go around the dinner table eating other people's
food instead of her own and Annie did not like that too much. Annie then
started to wrestle with Helen and throw her around a little just to try to
teach her what was right and wrong. There was also a moment during this scene
that Annie threw water in Helen's face to calm her down and I had never seen
that coming so I thought it was very funny.
Overall I thought this play was amazing and I was so glad I could
go and experience it. I would definitely recommend this play to everyone
because it gives us all a different view on how Helen's life actually was when
she was young. The play also brings out many different emotions that you
wouldn't expect to have during such a sad story.
