Abstract

This article presents literary criticism of the book "The Story of My Life" by Helen Keller. It highlights the pattern used by the author, portraying herself as a self-made individual who defeated personal hardship and became national celebrity. It examines the family genealogy of Keller and emphasizes that she wants to be considered as a representative American and a child of the South.
