Breakfast With Helen Keller
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- Year 1955. - The famous blind and deaf Writer, and Human Rights Activist Helen Keller and her companion Polly Thomson have breakfast together at their home "Arcan Ridge" in Easton, Connecticut, U.S.A. Then Helen goes for a walk. TRANSCRIPT: Polly meanwhile has brought up the breakfast. Sometimes something is missing from the tray, and it is Helen who goes downstairs to fetch it. Polly knows that it pleases Helen to wait upon her when she can. Everywhere else, except in her own familiar house, it is Helen who must be waited upon by Polly. Here where every table, every chair and every dish in the cupboard is her intimate friend, Helen can move freely and independently. Though in this quiet house Polly need not speak aloud to Helen, she usually does. It helps to drive back the silence. First concern of the day is always the weather, to know how to dress for the morning walk with her dog. Clear but cold. She checks with her Braille thermometer. She is right. In her dressing room Helen is independent. She knows her clothes and where to find them, even to a stray belt. Every morning Helen goes for a walk along a one thousand foot handrail, built by a loving friend to guide her. One thousand feet where she is alone and free. The walk seldom varies. But for Helen it is always full of small unexpected events. Helen has known from childhood what those with sight cannot realize. That one does not need eyes to see the world.
Why cut it off so abruptly?
Hi Kim. Thanks for stopping by. It's a pleasure to see you here. This is just a "clip" from an old documentary . Most youtube viewers have a short attention span, (about 3 minutes according to youtube research tests, so I try and keep my videos short. LOL. If you want to see a longer version just type "Helen Keller - 1950's Documentary, Part 1. (Clip)" into the youtube search bar. There are 3 parts to the documentary. Thanks for your interest. Best Wishes! :)
@@IamHelenKeller thanks for your explanation ❤️ I guess you can tell how much I was enjoying it.
@@hellosweetheart3350 Glad you liked it. :)
@@IamHelenKeller The attention span has decreased to 1 minute now because of TIKTOK.
She is amazing NOT JUST because she was deaf and blind and managed to live like a normal person, but because she was also a social and political activist, writer, lecturer, feminist and hundred things you and I with our good hearing and sight could barely achieve.
Silent December preach
Staunch eugenicist, too, lol.
I like how she seems so positive. She's always smiling
I mean without sight or sound you get to avoid a lot of negatives in the world. Plus she has a better friend then we will probably ever have. I would say her life is good.
When I was in 3rd grade our teacher went through the whole class and locked each one of us by ourselves for two and a half minutes in a completely dark soundproofed closet, to demonstrate what Helen Keller's life was like. I will never forget that lesson as I live.
Sarah Riedel they sounds really cool but as a third grader, I’d be traumatized
@@BeeTGM11 I wouldn't say it was traumatizing per se, but it clearly made an impact on me as I can still remember each of those 150 seconds.
@@Sarah.Riedel what was the 87th second like
Bro same
Good experience but I doubt that a teacher would be allowed to do that today.
the one thing i love about her was her smile.
Yes, her smile....it was just amazing.
I always wondered about her when I was younger, hearing different things and stories... nice to know these gems exist. kudos to the person who thought to record this so long ago.
Hi Rhonda.
Thanks for the visit.
Yes... we're lucky to have these historical film clips about helen Keller.
Best wishes!
She blows my mind, she truly does.
The friendship that had no boundaries. Both ladies were an exemplary of resilience and enthusiasm.
The real Helen Keller!!!!! 😱 SHE'S MY FAVORITE, ROLE MODEL ❤️!
Fantastic role model. It all started at the water pump when Helen realized when Annie Sullivan signed the word water and Helen understood.. out of the darkness into the light. May she rest in peace.
Helen Keller was an incredibly inspirational human being. Her struggles and her triumphs had a deeply profound affect on me when I was a little girl. From her I learnt stoicism and determination, but most importantly, no matter what, to remember that no matter how bad things might be, to remember, that unlike Helen, I had the precious gifts of sight, hearing and could communicate. That I could see and hear birds, the blue sky, the sound of the ocean.. things Helen never could or would. And if that little girl could overcome such difficulties in silence and darkness through her strength of will and mind to learn, to grow, to overcome, then with the benefits of the gifts that I had been given, if she could do it, then I most certainly could. I’m sure that Helen has had that same impact on many, many children over time.. and probably a few adults as well. A very remarkable human being.
Addit: I forgot! My middle name is Helen.. not named for her, but I’ve always been incredibly proud to bear her name.
Very well said.
❤.
I remember that I did a book report on Helen Keller when I was in the 7th grade. She continues to be such a huge inspiration to me as well as so many others. Love you always Helen Keller ❤
Me too! Except I did my book report in 3rd grade. I was so impressed with Helen Keller that I learned the manual alphabet and played around with learning Braille (letting drops of Elmer's dry on paper, then running my fingers across them...) In college, I took several semesters of ASL. I am absolutely enjoying these videos here on UA-cam, aren't you?
I hope that even if helen was blind and deaf, she had great time with her family and lived a good life
I wonder that too. I'm sure she did though.
Hello my dear Helene, thank you for this beautiful video with a chapter from the life of Helen Keller. Since my childhood I have always had great admiration for this wonderful woman with courage, iron will and intelligence arrived to defeat the biggest obstacles inflicted for her disability. My school directed by the Sisters of the Congregation of Saint Vincent de Paul, life Helene was part of education.
Wishing you a good weekend. Always your friend. Rose-Marie
PS, sorry for the delay, I'm always at running after time;)
Hi Rose.
Thanks for the nice visit.
It's a pleasure to see you again. I'm glad you enjoyed the little video.
I hope you have a marvelous new week!
She was never broken. This story made a great impact on me.
Instead of making movies about superman they should have filmed something worth seeing about this great superwoman.
Have you not seen all 3 movies called the miracle worker?
The miracle worker with Anne Bancroft was to me the definitive the other 2 versions can't hold a candle watch it ok
I absolutely LOVE how Helen smiled constantly, and talked to herself verbally😊❤️
Back in the day if you lived with sombody a friend or relative and you were with them constantly or were Paid you were called a Companion.
Two people who fit together so perfectly...to give is to receive & humility comes with helping others....we can all benefit by helping others....the helper & the one who is helped.When life is symbiotic it functions perfectly!...love,peace,harmony,joy & light...Reeka👁
Hi Reeka.
Yes...what you say is very true.
Thanks for warm comment. It means a lot.
Warm Summer Wishes!
Great video of fantastic women, great lesson of life. Dear Helen, congratulations for all your videos about Helen. Warm greetings, Mira
Hi Mira.
It's nice to see you again.
Thanks for the comment, my friend.
Warm Summer Wishes! - - -Helen.
Makes me fill up with such emotion and happy tears when Helen is smiling and talking to the tree's
Extraordinary inspiration. Incredible woman, as were all the women who taught and supported her with such care and respect through her life. I love the notion her that her companion Polly speaks in order to "break the silence". These videos are somewhat twee and a little condescending but they were made with good intentions and gave the audience a compassionate insight into her life and showed her resilience (at a time when disability was hidden behind doors and lives and opportunities were so limited)
I loved Helen Keller ❤️ so amazing. So inspiring
You have to imagine how incredibly smart she is! I am just glad she was able to live a life she wanted and I hope she did.
I am reading biography of Hellen Keller ,,. it is really a wonder how can a complete blind and deaf can understand so many things n also described so beautiful,.
Such a beautiful smile
Very brave woman but knew no different...a brilliant woman!
She was a natural beauty. Just imagine, a miracle happened one day where she could see and hear perfectly lol I wish she got to see herself
Yeah she was pretty. And her sweetness made her even more pretty.
I haven't watched this much about Helen before, or seen these old film clips. I see why she is famous and such an inspiration. Not just to the disabled or elderly, but to all of us. We need to learn from someone like her and get over our petty political or religious differences.
dave skerritt she's been deaf and blind since she was 19 months old... she's not inspiration to just old people or disabled. she persevered through a great obstacle to prove nothing is impossible if you set your heart to it
dave skerritt same
emily gerstorff yeah, Anne was the best teacher ever!
The amazing, life of Helen Keller, she sure was an inspiration, someone we all could look up, too... she challenged life, and made such, a difference.. Thanks for sharing, it was sure interesting, to watch... Have a great day..
Hi Nancy.
Thanks for the warm comment...
It means a lot. Hope you have a wonderful new week ahead!
Sincere regards!
안보이고 못듣는 다면..온세상이 암흑일텐데..
훌륭한 스승을 만나시고 헬렌 자신도 이겨내고자 하니.. 한 세상 멋지게 사시다 이렇게 업적까지 남기시네요..
한국인도 Hellen K. 아네요 와
To me this woman is a hero.
She and her teacher of couse! The teacher was her angel!
I love you Helen Keller......
No words for u.... 😯😍😍😍😍
Yes, these clips really make you feel love for her, don't they.
Heroes ..she is mine..I have read everything about her..I love this woman..she taught us more than we could've ever taught her..her world wasn't dark at all..because she brought so much light into ours..she was a beacon of hope for so many like her..
I thought of it this way
Thru their darkness..Helen Keller became their light house of hope.Helen Keller was a gift from God...
The smell of cooking food must be so heightened for her.....👍
Her other senses were very strong. I heard she was able to sense when somebody was walking into a room from far away
Deaf people can "feel" sound. Think of being in your car next to someone with their bass turned up all the way, how it shakes the windows, how you can feel the bass. That's similar, they can feel the vibrations of the music
Next time you listen to music get a balloon filled with air, if you sit close enough to the speaker or have the music loud enough, you can feel the balloon vibrate, that's kinda like how sound feels
Fantastic video anout amazing woman ,Helen Keller. i am very happy you posted this.Thank you very much. Many beautiful greetings to you., my wonderful friend.
Hi Mirja.
Thanks so much for the nice comment.
I'm glad you enjoyed the little video. Your visit is a pleasant surprise, my friend!
Wishing you a wonderful Summer.
I think it is good that there are no cynical comments here as there are on other Helen Keller utube video posts. Just think how it would be if you were the new parent of a baby who was now deaf and blind? A movie such as this would give hope. It would be inspirational to see Helen live a good life. When all is lost, we all need hope.
Yes I would agree with Helen that you also get joy by helping others :) such a beautiful heart
She’s amazing 😭😭
She is better than any other learner ever
Wow 😮 Helen Keller was amazing 😉
This woman is a legend 😍😍😍😍
Absolutely Wonderful! Blessings of Love and Peace!

Hi Christian.
Thanks for the sweet comment.
I appreciate your visit.
Please have a beautiful day!
Wow! She's beautiful
I love how the dog gets a little treat from bed lol
I do love a bit of Helen
She mastered the sense and feelings which makes her great writer of 20th century.
Hellen Keller is a remarkable woman!
Interesting--my great grandfather, Stroud Van Meter, was blinded at 32 in an accident in January 1892 at the rock quarry where he worked. It was believed he was mortally wounded but he recovered except for his sight. His family strung ropes around his property so he could walk around. He could also do some work, used a cross saw to cut wood with his sons. The part in the video where she takes a walk reminded me of Stroud.
This is so interesting. Glad I found this
Incredibly inspiring!
Love the video. inspiring video. Love Helen keller.
She is so amazing...one of a kind...always smiling and so much joy and happiness with what she have🥺😍😇
Such a beautiful smile. Thanks for these amazing videos.

I will NEVER understand how anyone can talk and understand only by signing in the others hand..
It’s incredible! And Anne Sullivan was only 20 years old when she was hired by the Kellers. It’s no wonder this story is still remembered so well to this day.
You'd be surprised.
I agree. It is truly unimaginable.
This was uploaded on my grandma's birthday!
Isn't that interesting.
Glad you liked the video.
Have a great day!
such a beautiful person
Wonderful video! Have a wonderful day!
Thanks!
I appreciate the nice comment.
Have a great new week!
She has a fantastic personality. Very much an extrovert! I was reading that her IQ was 160! Not surprised she is definitely a genius!!❤😅😅
Thanks for the warm comment.
So glad you enjoyed the video! 🦋🥀🌹🦋
She graduated from Radcliffe
you are so brave
Thanks for the sweet comment.
I hope you have a lovely Sunday!
Warm Wishes!
Ella es tan adorable 💕 TwT
I wonder if she knew how to call her dog and make sure she knew where he was and that he was ok, or if she had to rely on Polly to do that. I wonder how Anne Sullivan might have taught her the difference between yelling out to get someone's attention from far away vs. talking at a normal volume, to someone next to you, and how well she understood the concept. I'm sure she probably did because she was a genius, but I wonder how long it took her to get it.
You believe hellen Keller may have been a genius? She was eithier a hoax or a genius in my opinion, a normal person would not be able to learn anything being born blind and deaf.
@@jacelo How many deaf-blind people do you know?
