Chapter 4:  Mr. Anagnos had recommended Miss Annie Sullivan to be Helen's teacher.  Miss Sullivan arrives, and Helen's life changes.  The teacher makes many attempts to teach Helen by spelling words into her hands.  One day, Helen finally makes the connection between words and objects.  Her life is transformed.  The first word Helen recognizes is "water."  She explains what learning this word did in her life:

That living word awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, joy, set it free!  There were barriers still, it is true, but barriers that could in time be swept away. 

Chapter 5:  Helen eagerly learns whenever she can.  Miss Sullivan takes her out in nature.  She teaches her young pupil about the wonders of nature.  Helen gets stuck alone in a thunderstorm, and she is afraid.  She clings to a tree branch until Miss Sullivan comes.
