The book by Helen Keller (see "Important People") referred to by the author in Chapter 2 is titled "The World I Live In." The title is metaphorically important because Chapter 2 is itself about the world the author lives in, a world symbolically similar to the world of darkness, silence and isolation inhabited by Helen Keller.
