Read the new text, an excerpt from the story of my life, by helen
keller. afterwards, answer the two writing prompts.
the keller homestead, where the family lived was a few steps from our little rose-bower. it was
alle ivy green" because the house and the surrounding trees and fences were covered with
beautiful english ivy. its old-fashioned garden was the paradise of my childhood. even in the
days before my teacher came, i used to feel along the square stiff boxwood hedges, and,
guided by the sense of smell would find the first violets and lilies. there, too, after a fit of temper,
i went to find comfort and to hide my hot face in the cool leaves and grass. what joy it was to
lose myself in that garden of flowers, to wander happily from spot to spot, until, coming suddenly
upon a beautiful vine, i recognized it by its leaves and blossoms, and knew it was the vine which
covered the tumble-down summer-house at the farther end of the garden! here, also, were
trailing clematis, drooping jessamine, and some rare sweet flowers called butterfly hlies,
because their fragile petals resemble butterflies' wings. but the roses-they were loveliest of all
never have i found in the greenhouses of the north such heart-satisfying roses as the climbing
roses of my southern home. they used to hang in long festoons from our porch, filling the whole
air with their fragrance, untainted by any earthy smell, and in the early morning, washed in the
dew, they felt so soft, so pure, i could not wondering if they did not resemble the asphodels
of god's garden.
