        <description><![CDATA[Miss Sullivan did not give up on her, even when she was being defiant and acting spoiled. She cared enough about Helen to not pamper her or pity her because of her disabilities, but instead was tough on her. She forced her to behave and demanded that she demand more of herself. Miss Sullivan practiced "tough love" and Helen responded.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Although at times it must have seemed heartless, Ms. Sullivan used positive and negative reinforcement to get through to Helen. For example, when Helen threw temper tantrums at the table or simple refused to try to eat properly, she was denied food or even led away from the dining room. (This kind of conditioning corresponded to the experimentation of  Ivan Petrovich Pavlov (1849 - 1936) but precluded the behaviourist school of thought of...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Helen Keller was understandably frustrated, angry, and depressed before Anne Sullivan arrived to help her.  Unable to communicate with those in the world around her, she felt imprisoned.  Her mood was especially dark and desperate in the days leading up to her teacher's arrival.  Helen says,

        <description><![CDATA[Recall that a plot diagram looks like a mountain.  It has a level base (exposition), ascends, (rising aciton) reaches a peak (climax), and descends to the "bottom" of the mountain, (falling action), and reaches a plateau again at the base,  (resolution or "denoument").
