Writing is something each individual takes for granted. we can pull out a piece of paper and pen whenever we feel like it and go to town. Helen Kellar though couldn't do that, she had to use a type writer and even then it had to have brail on the keys. It's easy for us to forget how something so easy for us is actually quite challenging for someone like Helen Kellar.
We are able to reread, edit and adjust our papers and writing because we can see what we are doing unlike Helen Kellar. She would not know if she was going off the lines or miss spelling any of her words. Writing helps get all our emotions and feelings out and it can be very therapeutic for certain individuals. Helen Kellar on the other hand had to figure out which brail symbols to use for certain words which sometimes took a lot longer to figure out, so being able to start writing whenever we want without thinking is a lot harder for Helen Kellar and people like her to do.
Writing is much easier and enjoyable when you can see what you are doing and can edit your own thoughts. For Helen Kellar I believe the process of writing was very frustrating at times. Writing should be fun and enjoyed by all, even if there are a few hurdles some people have to jump over before they experience the fun of writing.
