​STORY OF MY LIFE

KATE ADAMS
Kate Adams was the mother of Helen Keller. She was married to Arthur Keller who was much elder to her. She patiently took care of Helen when she contracted the debilitating illness. Helen remembers her mother affectionately soothing her pain as she suffered from pain. She was a source of tenderness and love for Helen. She worried endlessly for Helen’s well-being. Often staying up late and taking care of her as she cried. Kate nurtured her daughters sense of learning by making her understand about everyday things. 
Being attached to her mother, Helen was envious of her sister for sharing her mother’s affections. The bond between Kate and Helen was very deep. She was someone whom Helen worshipped and admired deeply
MILDRED KELLER
 Mildred Keller is the youngest sister of Helen Keller.  She is a sweet child who always accompanied Helen.  Helen used to fell jealous towards Mildred.   She felt that she had taken her place as her mother’s darling.  Mildred would sit in her mother’s lap constantly and seemed to take up all her time and care.  One day Helen overturned the cradle where little Mildred was sleeping peacefully.  She would have been killed has it not been for their mother who caught her as she fell.  In later years they grew affectionate towards each other and were content to go hand in hand everywhere although she could not understand her finger language nor Helen her childish prattle.

Helen Keller is the main character in The Story of My Life which is a personal account of Helen's young life after she has a debilitating illness as a baby and is rendered blind and deaf. Annie Sullivan, Alexander Graham Bell and Mr Anagnos all change Helen's life dramatically and it is her first meeting with Dr. Bell which starts the process of her education and her fulfillment. In chapter III, Helen reflects how "that interview would be the door through which I should pass from darkness into light." 

ALEXANDER GRHAM BELL

Dr. Alexander Graham Bell is compassionate and kindhearted and an incredibly gifted inventor (as history will confirm). Helen dedicated The Story of My Life to him. He has a special relationship with children, especially the deaf, and his methods ensure that children are motivated and enthusiastic to learn. He is funny and immediately connects with Helen. He recommends The Perkins' Institute to the family which will begin Helen's long and extremely demanding path to learning.  

ANNIE SULLIVAN
Annie comes from The Perkins' Institute for the Blind where she learnt to manage and overcome her own difficulties and is the person whom Helen recognizes as most significant in her education. Annie makes Helen "think" and the day she arrives is "the most important day"for Helen.
