Answer 1

In Chapter 13 of "The Story of My Life," Helen Keller interprets the fact that Ragnhild Kaata learned to speak with a mix of admiration and introspection.

She recognizes that they have different circumstances—that Ragnhild had a better opportunity, possibly with better teaching or support. Ultimately, Keller expresses a realization that her own path toward communication might differ and that she may not be able to accomplish the same thing as Ragnhild.
