In “Water”, Helen Keller describes her first experiences with her new teacher.  Keller finally grasps the idea that a word Anne Sullivan is spelling water corresponds to the water flowing over Keller’s hand.  This insight leads Keller to make connections and open doors of knowledge and opportunity previously closed to her. (Prentice Hall Literature, 2010)
