In Chapter 13 of "The Story of My Life," the statements that accurately describe Helen Keller's purpose are:

1. to explain the process by which a deaf and blind person could learn to speak - She discusses her experiences and the techniques used to help her learn to communicate.

2. to describe how her life changed as she gained the ability to speak - She reflects on how her newfound ability to speak transformed her life and interactions with others.

3. to persuade readers that it is important to be patient and to educate every child, despite the challenges - Keller advocates for the importance of education and patience in teaching children with disabilities.

The statement to amuse readers with stories of overcoming challenges is not a primary purpose in this chapter. Instead, Keller focuses more on the educational aspects and her personal experiences.
