3. 2. 1. Answer these questions. She,/ In the dark,/ Found light/ Brighter than many ever see. What does 'light' symbolise? What did Keller discover in the 'light'? Do our eyes hinder us from seeing the 'light' that Keller saw? 2 Within herself, / Found loveliness, / Through the soul's own mastery. What does the poet mean by 'soul's own mastery'? What did Keller find after mastering her soul? What qualities do you think are needed to master one's soul? Do you think one should only focus on 'inner beauty' and disregard 'outer beauty'? How does Keller's 'inner beauty' influence the world? And now the world receives / From her dower: / The message of the strength / of inner power. What wealth does Keller's 'dower' contain? We often make the mistake of judging people with physical disabilities. What does Keller's 'inner power' teach us in this respect? 4. Why has the poet begun the first two stanzas with only one word-she? What is his purpose in doing so?

1. The symbol of "light" in the poem represents knowledge, understanding, and enlightenment. Keller discovered resilience, hope, and inspiration in the "light." Our eyes can indeed hinder us from seeing the same "light" that Keller saw if we are not open to looking beyond physical appearances and limitations.

2. "Soul's own mastery" refers to the ability to understand and control one's inner self and emotions. After mastering her soul, Keller found inner peace and beauty. Qualities required to master one's soul may include self-awareness, perseverance, compassion, and empathy. While inner beauty is important, it should not be at the expense of disregarding outer beauty, as both can coexist harmoniously. Keller's inner beauty influences the world by inspiring others to look beyond physical limitations and stereotypes.

3. Keller's "dower" contains the wealth of strength, resilience, and determination. Her inner power teaches us not to judge people based on physical disabilities and highlights the importance of looking deeper into a person's character and abilities.

4. The repetition of the word "she" at the beginning of the first two stanzas emphasizes Helen Keller as the central figure and highlights her individual journey and achievements. The poet's purpose in doing so is to focus attention on Keller's story and emphasize her strength and resilience in overcoming challenges.
