The current "Early life and illness" section reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. In particular, the last paragraph is ambiguous due to figurative language and feels like a thesis restatement. 149.76.215.38 ( talk) 18:07, 29 September 2023 (UTC) reply

She was an amazing person who dedicated her life to others! It is sad that there is no mention of her addressing the delegates of Lions Clubs International in 1925 at Cedar Point Ohio, Challenging Them to become Knights of The Blind, Which became the First and foremost Pillar of Service for one of the now Largest Community Service Organizations in the world!

There's a person named Thomson the Wikipedia never said who he is and how Helen Keller knows him. Here's where it it mentioned him.

"Anne Sullivan died in 1936, with Keller holding her hand,[36] after falling into a coma as a result of coronary thrombosis.[37]: 266  Keller and Thomson moved to Connecticut. They traveled worldwide and raised funds for the blind. Thomson had a stroke in 1957 from which she never fully recovered and died in 1960. Winnie Corbally, a nurse originally hired to care for Thomson in 1957, stayed on after Thomson's death and was Keller's companion for the rest of her life."[34]

This is in Paragraph 3 under Companions. 75.177.103.180 ( talk) 19:49, 20 March 2024 (UTC) [I found more about him in the first paragraph sorry it missed it no need to worry about this]Italic text — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.177.103.180 ( talk) 19:51, 20 March 2024 (UTC) reply
