If I Had Three Days to See: A Book That Opened My Eyes
I recently read the book "If I Had Three Days to See" by Helen Keller, and it really made me think. Helen Keller was a remarkable woman who overcame tremendous challenges in her life. She was blind and deaf from a very young age, but she never let her disabilities stop her from living life to the fullest and achieving great things.
The book is about what Helen Keller would do if she was suddenly granted the ability to see for just three days. As someone who had been blind her entire life, the thought of being able to see, even temporarily, was incredibly exciting and meaningful to her. She describes in vivid detail all the things she would want to look at – the faces of her loved ones, the beauty of nature, famous works of art and architecture, and so much more.
Reading Helen's words made me realize how much I take my senses for granted. I can see and hear everything around me without even thinking about it. But for Helen, those were gifts
that were denied to her, at least in the traditional sense. Yet she never complained or felt sorry for herself. Instead, she lived her life with joy, purpose and accomplishment.
One part of the book that really stuck with me was when Helen wrote about wanting to see her teachers' faces. Anne Sullivan was the woman who taught Helen how to communicate and opened up her mind to the world around her through the manual alphabet. Helen says if she could see for those three days, just being able to look into Miss Sullivan's eyes and see her expression would fill her heart. As someone who can see, I had never really thought about how meaningful it would be to just look at someone's face if you had never been able to before.
Another powerful passage was when Helen described her longing to witness beautiful landscapes and scenery. Living in Alabama, she was surrounded by lush greenery and nature, but could never truly experience it with her eyes. In the book she talks about wanting to see wide open fields, running streams, colorful flowers and trees, and dramatic sunsets. Reading those words made me look around my own environment with new eyes. I realized that I often overlook or take for granted the natural beauty that is all around me every day.
Towards the end of the book, Helen expresses her desire to see celebrated artworks like the Sistine Chapel ceiling and sculptures from the Renaissance. As someone passionate about learning, she felt that being able to directly view these masterpieces, even briefly, would be the ultimate educational experience. It reminds me that sometimes we have amazing resources like museums and libraries right in our own communities that we don't fully appreciate or utilize.
Overall, reading this book was incredibly eye-opening for me (no pun intended!). It made me reflect on the gifts of sight and sound that I'm blessed with, and inspired me to not take those senses for granted. Helen Keller accomplished so much in her life despite not being able to see or hear. If she could live with such drive and appreciation for the world around her, then I have no excuse to not make the most of every day and open my eyes to the beauty and potential all around me.
I know I'm just a kid, but this book has motivated me to live life in a way that honors Helen Keller's perseverance and zest for knowledge. From this day forward, I want to look at the world with newly awakened senses of sight and sound. I'll pay closer attention in class, soak in the details of my surroundings when I'm outside, and visit museums and cultural attractions with a
fresh curiosity. I may not be able to change the fact that I can see and hear, but I can change my perspective and appreciation for those abilities. Reading Helen's words has opened my eyes to the preciousness of sight, and I'll never take it for granted again.

If I Had Three Days to See by Helen Keller - A Book Report
My name is Emily and I'm in the 5th grade. For our latest book report, we had to read the autobiography "If I Had Three Days to See" by Helen Keller. I have to admit, I wasn't too excited at first when my teacher told us the book we'd be reading. I thought it would be boring reading some old book written by someone born way back in 1880! But boy was I wrong. This book completely blew me away and gave me a whole new perspective on life.
For those who don't know, Helen Keller was a woman born in Alabama who became blind and deaf at just 19 months old after getting a fever. Can you imagine how hard that must have been for her and her family? She couldn't see the world around her, she couldn't hear people's voices or any sounds at all. Her life was trapped in total darkness and silence. As a little kid, that's pretty much my worst nightmare!
Luckily, Helen's parents never gave up on her. When she was 7 years old, they hired a wonderful teacher named Anne Sullivan to try and help Helen communicate. Using finger spelling and the raising of certain objects to Anne's hand, Helen slowly started learning how to read and write. It took a huge amount of patience, persistence and determination, but Anne broke through to Helen and unlocked her mind. From that point on, Helen became a total learning machine!
As I read more about Helen's life, I was just in complete awe of her. Despite her disabilities, she traveled the world, gave speeches to massive crowds, wrote books, met presidents, and graduated from college - one of the first deaf and blind people ever to do so. She never let her limitations hold her back or dampen her curiosity and thirst for knowledge. Helen said "Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all." Talk about an inspiring attitude!
In the book, Helen imagines what it would be like if she could magically see and hear for just three days. With her vivid writing, she paints such a beautiful picture of the natural world - something those of us who can see probably take for granted way too often. Helen writes about wanting to gaze at the millions of stars scattered across the night sky. To study every line and
detail in a piece of sculpture. To watch and listen to the crashing waves of the ocean. To experience the quiet splendor of a forest. To see the expressions and movements of a baby taking its first steps. Just reading her words made me want to run outside and view the world with fresh eyes.
What I took away most from this book is to never take the gifts I have for granted - my ability to see the colors and sights all around me, to hear the laughter of friends and music playing, to smell the flowers blooming in spring. Every single day, I'm experiencing what Helen could only dream of for those three days. Sure, there are times I get caught up in typical 5th grader stuff - fighting with my annoying little brother, stressing about a math test, wishing I could stay up past my bedtime. But reading this book was such a powerful reminder that I'm blessed in so many ways.
The last lines of the book really struck me: "Better than having sight for three days would be to have light perpetually over the mystery of life. Better than having hearing for three days would be to have complete spiritual perception during that time." Wow. Helen was saying that more important than just seeing and hearing the surface level stuff is truly understanding
the deeper meaning and gift of life itself. Sometimes people without disabilities can be just as "blind" to what really matters.
I have to give Helen Keller a huge amount of respect and admiration. Her positive mindset in the face of such adversity is an inspiration to me. I want to live every day to the fullest like she did, with joy, gratitude and an endless desire to learn and grow. Next time I'm tempted to complain about something trivial, I'll remember Helen and count my blessings instead. "If I had three days to see" is a question I hope I never take for granted again. Thank you, Helen, for allowing this 5th grader to see the world a little bit differently.

If I Had Three Days to See
I recently read the book "If I Had Three Days to See" by Helen Keller, and it really made me think. The story is about this lady who was blind and deaf from a very young age, but she never gave up on life. Instead, she worked super hard and became an amazing writer, speaker, and role model.
In the book, Helen Keller imagines what she would do if she could miraculously see and hear for just three days. She says she would want to absorb every moment - looking at nature,
listening to music, and experiencing all the sights and sounds that most people take for granted. Reading her vivid descriptions of what those three days might be like was incredibly powerful.
I can't even imagine what it must be like to be blind and deaf. Just think about all the things we experience every day through our eyes and ears without even realizing it. The colors of a sunset, the sounds of birds chirping, our friends' laughter, our parents' voices telling us they love us. Helen Keller missed out on all of those basic human experiences that most of us never even think twice about.
And yet, she refused to let her disabilities hold her back or make her bitter. Instead of feeling sorry for herself, she pushed forward with incredible determination. With the help of her beloved teacher Anne Sullivan, she learned to read, write, speak, and eventually become a world-famous author and activist. Her life story shows that no matter what challenges you face, you should never give up on your dreams.
If I were in Helen Keller's shoes, I don't know if I could have handled it all with such courage and grace. Just the thought of living in total silence and darkness, unable to see the faces of my family or hear their voices, gives me chills. It would be so easy to fall into hopelessness and despair. But Helen used her limited
senses to celebrate life's precious beauty rather than mourn what she had lost.
Her book has inspired me to stop taking so many things for granted. All the colors, sounds, smells and sensations that fill our world on a daily basis are precious miracles that we often don't appreciate enough. From now on, I want to open my eyes and ears more fully to absorb all the richness around me. I'm going to pay closer attention to the way light plays across the classroom walls, the sound of the wind rustling through trees, the textures of different fabrics, and the indescribable aromas of freshly cut grass or mom's home cooking.
Life is an incredible gift, loaded with brilliant sights, captivating sounds, delightful tastes and feels. We need to drink it all in with joy and gratitude every single day, just like Helen would have if those three days of sensory bliss had been granted to her. She refused to be limited by her challenges, and instead taught the world profound lessons about hope, perseverance, and appreciating the little things that make life beautiful.
My parents always tell me that having a positive attitude is one of the most important keys to happiness and success. Well, Helen Keller is the ultimate example of positivity in the face of adversity. Despite her double disabilities, she lived life with
unshakable optimism, curiosity, and wonder. Her glass was always overflowing, not half empty. And because of her inspiring example, I've learned how crucial it is to make the most of every single day and ability we're blessed with.
So many of us take our senses for granted every moment of every day. We get so caught up in our busy, stressful lives that we forget to pause and truly experience the miracles surrounding us. We don't hear the music anymore. But Helen Keller longed for those gifts more than anything. She spent most of her life in silence and darkness, and yet her heart was overflowing with light.
From this day forward, I'm going to do my best to live every day with Helen Keller's remarkable sense of appreciation, perseverance and joy. I'll stop to notice the sunbeams peeking through the clouds, or the wind gently rustling the branches. I'll listen more closely to the melodies of the birds and the laughter of my friends on the playground. I'll breathe deeply to enjoy the intoxicating aroma of freshly cut grass or my mom's famous chocolate chip cookies baking in the oven. And I'll never take my ability to run, jump, see, hear, smell, taste and experience the world for granted.
Those are precious, wondrous, irreplaceable miracles that Helen Keller spent the majority of her life dreaming about. Her courage, resilience and unbreakable spirit in the face of such overwhelming challenges is why she'll always be one of my heroes and role models. She reminds me to find the beauty in even the darkest day, because there are hidden treasures and reasons to celebrate all around us if we just take the time to experience them mindfully like she so desperately wished she could.
The next time I start feeling sorry for myself about something, I'll remember the strength and optimism of Helen Keller. Here was a woman who couldn't see any of the colors in a rainbow or hear the melodies of her favorite songs. She couldn't gaze into the eyes of her loved ones or embrace them while hearing the soothing cadence of their voices. And yet she took that profound darkness and emptiness and channeled it into becoming a radiant beacon of hope, love and resilience for the entire world.
So from this day forward, I'm going to open my eyes, ears, nose and heart as wide as they'll go. I'm going to be endlessly thankful for the symphony of sights, sounds, smells, textures and flavors that dance across my senses every single day. No more
taking things for granted. No more numbness to the miracles surrounding me. Just appreciation for each and every blessing, following the example set by one of the most courageous people who ever lived.
Thank you, Helen Keller, for teaching me how to truly live life to the fullest. Your determination to overcome darkness has filled my heart with light.。
