In chapters 21 to 23, the text challenges traditional perceptions of ability and disability by illustrating the profound capabilities of individuals who are often marginalized. Helen Keller reflects on her experiences and writes, "The world is not moved by intellect, but by emotion; it is not driven by mere physical prowess, but by the strength of the heart" (Keller 132). This statement underscores the idea that true strength transcends physical limitations and cognitive capabilities, highlighting the emotional and motivational aspects of human potential. By emphasizing the importance of emotional depth and resilience over conventional measures of ability, Keller effectively redefines how society should view and value individuals, suggesting that everyone, regardless of their disabilities, possesses unique strengths worthy of recognition.
