In order for Anne Sullivan to begin to teach Helen Keller to read or write, Anne had to make Helen understand the concept of symbolism, that is, that one thing stands for another.

See The Truth about Helen Keller from Rethinking Schools Online. Some believe that Helen Keller’s real legacy is as a social reformer.

Even the false Avatars could not escape it. Avatarhood is misery and sacrifice combined, plain and simple. Their powers simply do not exclude them for those, not to mention public opinion, fear, hatred, and prejudices. What struck me about this second novel is that Avatars were even more human than ever, making mistakes, failing, making mistakes again, driving friends and loved ones away, living alone, and so on and so forth.
