Detailed Answer :
Helen’ teacher, Miss Sullivan, taught her everything. She came as a ray of hope into her life. Helen was very happy and excited in her company. One day, she gave violets to her teacher. Miss Sullivan kissed her and said, ”I love Helen’. Helen couldn’t understand the meaning of love. So, she questioned her about it. Miss Sullivan pointed to her heart indicating that it was where love resided. Helen still couldn’t understand it as it was an abstract thing which she couldn’t touch. She thought that the love was the **** of violets, the warmth of the sun but her teacher replied in negative. Helen felt quite strange that Miss Sullivan was unable to show her love. Soon, it started drizzling. Miss Sullivan again pointed it out to Helen. Immediately, Helen realized that love is something which can’t be touched. It is an emotion, something which can only be felt with heart.
