Excerpt taken from “The Story of My Life” by Helen Keller
As the cool stream gushed over one hand, she (my teacher) spelled into the other hand
the word water, first slowly, then rapidly. I stood still, my attention fixed upon the motions
of her fingers. Suddenly, I felt a misty consciousness as of something forgotten a thrill of
returning thought: and somehow the mystery of language was revealed to me. I knew
then that was flowing over my hand. That living word awakened my soul and gave it light,
hope, joy-set it free!

Activity: Compare and contrast the two given arguments which deal on the same topic
using a Venn Diagram.
TEXT 1: School uniform could alter students’ attitudes toward their education. If
students wear the same clothing each day, they will not have to think about what to
wear on a daily basis. In addition, having a uniform could boost students’ confidence
and reduce envy or embarrassment. Conforming to one uniform might also help
students fit in more easily.
TEXT 2: School uniforms have no place in education, especially since we are trying to
instill the principles of individuality and diversity in our children. School uniforms
destroy students’ abilities to be themselves. I have seen schools where uniforms are
required; the students’ faces tell the whole story. By enforcing uniforms in school, we
are clearly not giving students a choice in what they wear. But when we take away
choice, more than just a choice is lost.
