“Three Days To See” is a fascinating account of what we can really see, perceive and assimilate from the wonderful world around us. The writer, while making a systematic plan of all nights, makes one realize how insensitive human beings are to their senses.We are all gifted with many natural abilities like seeing, listening and hearing but how far we are using these abilities properly? What are our perceives and assimilations towards the world. These things are going to explain in this lesson:

Her dear teacher Mrs. AnneSullivan Macy and wants to study teachers face who is the evidence of sympathetic tenderness and patience.
She likes to see in her teacher’s eyes which give strength of character which has enabled her to stand firm in the face of difficulties, and that compassion for all humanity which she has revealed to me so often.
She wants see all her dear friends and look long into their faces, imprinting upon her mind the outward evidences of the beauty.
She is going to give some rest to her eyes. And busy with viewing small simple things of her home. She wants to see the warm colours in the rugs under her feet, the pictures on the walls, the intimate trifles that transform a house into home.
She is going to read some printed colourful books which are helping to understand the human life and human spirit.
First day afternoon she wants to take long walk in the woods and intoxicate her eyes on the beauties of the world of nature, trying desperately to absorb the beauty of the nature permanently in her mind.
At night she is going to get interesting experience by seeing artificial light, which the genius of man has created to extend the power of his sight when Nature decrees darkness. She is not going to sleep because her mind is full of memories of the day. And waiting for the second day experience.

All together the second day is an imaginary day of sight, the great figures of dramatic literature would crown sleep from her eyes.

Ms Helen Keller had triple physical challenges but she took her life as a challenge and she achieved and created history. The evidence is her five great inspiring books. Through this lesson we can learn how to lead our life in positive prospect. And how to use our natural powerful gifts to make our lives for good cause.
HELEN `S LIFE:
Helen was very active after the university to join the women's suffrage movement and also join the Socialist Party. She also wrote a book entitled The World, in which I live what she has revealed for the first time her reflections on her world. ("Helen Keller Biography") Helen was also a staunch supporter of the handicapped, especially the blind and deaf as you, that's what she founded and promoted the American Foundation for Blind. She and Anne toured the world to make speeches and lectures not only in America, but also abroad, in the hope of making the American Foundation for the Blind in a world organization. Helen managed to persuade wealthy people like Henry Ford and John D. Rockefeller to make a donation to their cause. Also, to raise money for their cause Helen played in a few silent films about her life. All the towers, however, took a toll with Anne, who fell ill with bronchitis. Helen Sullivan, a mentor and lifelong friend, died on 20. Helen continued, however, after the death of Anas in homage to her, with longtime secretary and friend Polly Thompson as her voice. They took a break during the Second World War, but took shortly thereafter and turned mainly to the seas until Polly had a stroke in 1957. Polly never completely recovered from her stroke and died shortly thereafter. After Polly's death, Helen lost the will to continue turning and decided to retire in her house in the mysterious ridge. However, she made a public appearance in 1964 when she came to Washington D.C. to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the country's highest civilian award, by President Lyndon Johnson. Helen Keller died at 1.1968 at the mysterious ridge in her dream. Helen Life was dedicated to the service of those who cannot speak or listen. In his own words: "The public must learn that the blind is neither a genius, nor a monster, nor an idiot." "He has a mind, who can be polite," a hand that can be made, and the ambitions that are good for him to achieve, and it is the duty of the public to help him make the best of himself so that he can attain light through work.

HER WORLD TOUR :
After the tragic death of Helen's mother and Anne Sullivan's illness, Helen's teacher, friend and companion, Helen approached the friend Polly Thomson even more. Both temporarily continued the show that Helen and Anne were successful, but soon moved to larger targets. Helen and Polly began to travel the world to raise money for the blind. After the death of Anne Sullivan and the Second World War, their travels increased. The couple travelled to countries like Australia, Japan and England to raise money for the American Foundation for the blind overseas. ("The Life of Helen Keller") Helen was an international consultant for this Association, formerly American Braille Press. Because of his position he had the privilege to visit all these countries; 39 countries in general on five continents. On these voyages, Helen could meet all the other children of the people; was a veteran for handicapped children and international license fees/executives. His longest trip went through Asia in 1948. Helen and Polly were able to visit Nagasaki and Hiroshima to see the effects of the atomic bomb on the land and its inhabitants. ("Helen Keller Kids Museum") In honor of Helen, many countries such as India, the Soviet Union and Egypt have opened centers named after Helen to help blind and handicapped people. Also because of his work with the organization, the American Foundation for Blind Overseas was eventually renamed Helen Keller International. Polly Thomson grew increasingly fragile on these trips after a smooth blow and eventually disappeared into 1960. Polly's death led to an end in big public appearances for Helen, who publicly spoke for the last time in 1961 at the Lions Club meeting in Washington, D.C. After that, Helen retreated to her mysterious comb home in Easton Connecticut.
