Helen felt her childhood fantasies fulfilled when she went to visit the World Fair in the year 1883.  She visited the Midway Plaisance which seemed like the stories of Arabian Nights to her. It was full of novelties and interest. She visited the India she had read about represented by bazaar, idols of Shiva and the elephant gods. The pyramids mosques and processions of camels represented Cairo. The lagoons of Venice, Viking ships, The Cape of Good hope with its diamond mines were some of the other things that caught Helen’s fancy. Electrical buildings, the anthropological departments, ancient Mexico and the Mummies of Egypt were encountered by Helen at the fair. She had the permission to feel the exhibits at the fair. This made her experience even better. This is how Helen enjoyed her time at the World Fair. Hope this helps...   : )

Ans.  The chief events of the year 1893 were Helen Keller’s visits to Niagara and the World’s Fair. She went to Niagara in March, 1893. It was a unique experience for her. It was difficult to describe her emotions when she stood on the point which overhangs the American Falls. She felt air vibrate and the earth tremble.

It might seem strange to many people that a blind and deaf girl should be impressed by the wonders and beauties of Niagara. What could that beauty and music meant to her? How could a blind and deaf girl see the waves rolling up the beach or hear their roar? To Helen Keller visiting Niagara was an uplifting experience.

During the summer of 1893, Helen Keller visited the World’s Fair with Miss Sullivan and Dr. Alaxander Graham Bell. She recalled those days when her childish fancies became beautiful realities. She saw many wonders from different parts of the world. All the marvels of invention, industry and the activities of human life actually passed under her finger tips. There she could feel the glories of India with its ‘Shivas and elephant gods’. There was the land of the Pyramids with long processions of camels. The President of the World’s Fair gave her the permission to touch the exhibits. Everything fascinated her, especially the French  bronzes. Dr. Bell went everywhere with them. He in his own delightful way described to Helen the objects of greatest interest. All these experiences added a great many new words in Helen’s vocabulary. It matured her to appreciate ‘the real and the earnest in the workaday world .
