Who is Helen Keller?

She was blind, deaf, and a MUTE, so 3OH!3 thought it was funny to say she talked with her hips.

Helen Keller was legendary because of her blindness and deafness and her willing to cope with both of them. She had a teacher who helped her along her way to understanding. Later, Louis Braille, a blind man, invented Braille a way for Helen Keller to start reading and understanding words. She was a miracle in our history.

Helen Keller is the blind-deaf girl who is the main character in the book The Miracle Worker. Pick up a copy at your library. It's an epic read.

I don't know about the song, but Helen Keller Was a girl who was blind, deaf, and mute. So there was this woman who helped her do this finger language on her palm an BOOM! Well she didn't learn it very well, but then she learned how to do it! How she got all that, was he got a high fever. And as the days grew by, she got it, and her translator went to college with her.

The story of Helen Keller is the story of a child who, at the age of 19 months, suddenly lost her hearing and vision, and who, against overwhelming odds and with a great deal of persistence, grew into a highly intelligent and sensitive woman who wrote, spoke, and labored incessantly for the betterment of others. So powerful a symbol of triumph over adversity did she become that she has a definite place in the history of our time and of times to come.

30h3 - ''Do the Hellen Keller and talk with your hips.'' i presume because she was deaf and blind it was more to do with body language. probably talking about the way the character walked in the song.

because of her blindness and deafness she was ridiculed and made fun of. there is a host of sick ''Helen Keller'' jokes.

Helen Keller at the age of 19 months,(not quite 2 years old) was a happy, healthy child. She was already saying a few words.

Then she had a high fever which caused her to become deaf and blind. No longer could she see nor hear. She felt lost. She would hang on to her mother's skirt to get around. She would feel of people's hands to try to find out what they were doing. She learned to do many things this way. She learned to milk a cow and knead the bread dough.

She could recognize people by feeling of their faces or their clothes.

She made up signs with her hands so she could "talk" to her family. She had 60 different signs. If she wanted bread, she pretended to be cutting a loaf. If she wanted ice cream, she would hug her shoulders and shiver.

Helen was a very bright child. She became very frustrated * because she couldn't talk. She became very angry and began to throw temper tantrums * . The family knew they had to do something to help her.

They found a teacher named Anne Sullivan. Miss Sullivan herself had been blind, but had an operation and regained her sight. She understood what Helen was feeling.

She taught Helen the signs for the letters of the alphabet. Then she would "spell" the words in Helen's hand to communicate * with her.

One day Anne led Helen to the water pump and pumped water on her hand. She spelled the letters W-A-T-E-R as the water ran over Helen's hand. She did this over and over again. At last it dawned on Helen that the word "water" meant the water which she felt pouring over her hand. This opened up a whole new world for her. She ran everywhere asking Anne the name of different things and Anne would spell the words in her hand. This was the key which unlocked the world for her.

She eventually stopped having the tantrums. Anne taught her for years. Helen learned to read Braille * . This was a system of raised dots representing letters. A blind person could read by feeling of the dots.

I've never heard that song, but Helen Keller was a famous woman who was both deaf and blind. She was author as well as many other things. More info about her on wikipedia : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_keller

For some reason it's trendy to make really distasteful and dumb jokes about her, kind of like a few years ago it was really trendy to make dead baby jokes, you know?

Just type Helen Keller in the search bar at the top of your screen and you will get more information there than you will from us.

After having measles as an infant, Hellen Keller became blind, deaf, and mute. Later in her life, she learned how to talk vocally and with sign language. 3OH!3 just wanted to joke at how she talks with her hips. Haha.
