Character sketch of Mr anagnos in …

Michael Anagnos worked at the Perkins Institution for the Blind as the director. He was born in Greece, but later immigrated to the United States. He spoke both Greek and English. He was tall in stature.

Mr. Anagnos helped Helen Keller's father find a suitable teacher for her. He found Anne Sullivan, a teacher who also had suffered from vision loss. He arranged for her to go to Alabama to help young Helen. Later, Helen attended the Perkins Insitution for a period of four years. While there, she became a dear friend of Mr. Anagnos. It was also during that time that her close friendship with Mr. Anagnos began to deteriorate. Helen wrote a short story which she later found out closely resembled another published work. Accused of purposefully plagiarizing, Helen found out that Mr. Anagnos was deeply disappointed in her. He was a man whose trust could not be regained if lost.
