The little blind children at the Perkins Institution had sent it and Laura Bridgman had dressed it; but I did not know this until afterward. When I had played with it a little while. Miss Sullivan slowly spelled into my hand the word d-o-l-l. I was at once interested in this finger play and tried to imitate it. When I finally succeeded in making the letters correctly, I was flushed with childish pleasure and pride. Running downstairs to my mother, I held up my hand and made the letters for doll. I did not know that I was spelling a word or even that words existed; I was simply making my fingers go in monkey-like imitation. In the days that followed, I learned to spell in this uncomprehending way a great many words, among them pin, hat, cup and a few verbs like sit, stand and walk. But my teacher had been with me several weeks before I understood that everything had a name.

OR

c) Write a precis of the following passage. Add a suitable title. 2+8=10

We can tell a man different from a beast by his quality of virtue. It is something which distinguishes him from all other creatures. It is his nature. It is his mark. It is his character. Wonderful is it to think that man is distinguished from all other creatures by his higher and grander standard of conduct we call virtue—the thing worthy of a man. He goes to rescue of someone he has never seen — a woman in a burning house, a child in a dark sea; why? Because he is a man. He goes to the stake or to the scaffold for an idea which he knows in this world to be true. Why? Because he is a man. What do we say when we read some cruel creature who has beaten a child or stuck a woman? We say, "He is no man?" Something tells us at once that a man who could do such things as this is, 'No man.' He has played the traitor to himself. He has denied the man in his soul.
