Helen Keller was born in 1880 in Alabama, with the ability to both see and hear, like any normal child. But six months later, she contracted a serious illness, possibly meningitis. The illness left her both deaf and blind. As she grew up, she learned to communicate with the daughter of the family cook using sign language that they invented together. But Helen was an unhappy child and often flew into a rage. Her mother was very patient with her and tried to help her.
