In chapter one, Helen describes the first years of her life.  In it, Helen tells of how she was an intelligent and aware baby and toddler.  Helen spoke her first words at a young age.  She also has a vivid memory.  She describes remembering her illness and how her mother took care of her.  Helen then describes her struggles to communicate once she became deaf and blind.

In some ways, Helen is similar as an adult as she was in her early life.  She is intelligent and aware despite her deafness and blindness.  She is eager to communicate, as she was as a baby.

In other ways, Helen is different.  Helen describes her feelings about being deaf and blind as a young child.  She states that she "got used to the silence and darkness that surrounded [her] and forgot that it had ever been different."  Later in life, Helen learns to communicate.  When she learns these communication skills, she no longer lives in a silent and dark world.  While literally Helen still lives in a world when she cannot see or hear, her communication makes it so that Helen can live a normal life.
