Helen Keller (colorized)

Miss Helen Keller - Portrait US Library of Congress
Helen Keller was an author, lecturer, suffragists and crusader for the handicapped. Born in Tuscumbia, Alabama, She lost her sight and hearing at the age of nineteen months to an illness now believed to have been scarlet fever. Five years later, on the advice of Alexander Graham Bell, her parents applied to the Perkins Institute for the Blind in Boston for a teacher, and from that school hired Anne Mansfield Sullivan.

Through Sullivan’s extraordinary instruction, the little girl learned to understand and communicate with the world around her. She went on to acquire an excellent education and to become an important influence on the treatment of the blind and deaf.

Her unprecedented accomplishments in overcoming her disabilities made her a celebrity at an early age; at twelve she published an autobiographical sketch in the Youth’s Companion, and during her junior year at Radcliffe, she produced her first book, The Story of My Life, still in print in over fifty languages.

Her friendship with Mark Twain
Tumblr media
"Helen Keller, Miss Sullivan, Mark Twain and Laurence Hutton."
“From that day until his death we were friends,” Keller recalled later. She was already a fan of his work and thrilled to his deep voice and his many hand gestures, which she followed with her own fingertips. She wrote of him:
"He entered into my limited world with enthusiasm just as he might have explored Mars. Blindness was an adventure that kindled his curiosity. He treated me not as a freak, but as a handicapped woman seeking a way to circumvent extraordinary difficulties. There was something of divine apprehension in this rare naturalness towards those who differ from others in external circumstances."
Tumblr media
Helen Keller with Mark Twain - Twain came to Keller’s defense, after reading in her book about a plagiarism scandal that occurred in 1892 when, at only twelve years old, she was accused of lifting her short story “The Frost King” from Margaret Canby’s “Frost Fairies.” Though a tribunal acquitted Keller of the charges, the incident still pissed off Twain. The letter is attached to the photo above
Letters between Mark Twain and Helen Keller.
Though Helen hailed from a respectable Southern family, 19th-century America was flummoxed by the prospect of teaching a deaf-blind girl to talk, read, and learn. Helen’s tutor and governess, Annie Sullivan, fought for her admission to various schools that offered special education. But the cost of educating someone like Helen was high. Clemens wrote to a rich friend on her behalf:
"It won’t do for America to allow this marvelous child to retire from her studies because of poverty. If she can go on with them she will make a fame that will endure in history for centuries. Along her special illness she is the most extraordinary product of all the ages…lay siege to your husband & get him to interest himself and Messrs. John D. & William Rockefeller & the other Standard Oil chiefs in Helen’s case; get them to subscribe an annual aggregate of six or seven hundred or a thousand dollars- & agree to continue this for three or four years, until she has completed her college course…."
Thanks to his intervention, the support of his friend Henry Rogers and Standard Oil, Helen was able to complete her education and graduate cum laude from Harvard’s Radcliffe College. Clemens and Keller remained friends for the rest of his life. They shared an interest in radical politics and a love for life despite their different temperaments. Helen, an avowed optimist, often made fun of Clemens for his avowed pessimism, telling him she didn’t believe a word of his sardonic jokes. As for Clemens, Chambliss writes that he felt she was one of the most important historical figures of all time, “the most wondrous person of her sex that has existed on this earth since Joan of Arc.”

We also have Twain—not playwright William Gibson—to thank for the “miracle worker” title given to Keller’s teacher, Anne Sullivan. As a tribute to Sullivan for her tireless work with Keller, he presented her with a postcard that read, “To Mrs. John Sullivan Macy with warm regard & with limitless admiration of the wonders she has performed as a ‘miracle-worker.’” In his 1903 letter to Keller, he called Sullivan “your other half… for it took the pair of you to make complete and perfect whole.”
Tumblr media
Twain was especially impressed by Keller’s autobiography, writing to her, “I am charmed with your book—enchanted.” (See his endorsement in a 1903 advertisement, above.)
Keller & Clemens also shared a love of dogs

Widely honored throughout the world and invited to the White House by every U.S. president from Grover Cleveland to Lyndon B. Johnson, Keller altered the world’s perception of the capacities of the handicapped. More than any act in her long life, her courage, intelligence, and dedication combined to make her a symbol of the triumph of the human spirit over adversity.

I wish that Max would’ve had the option to warn more people through the week that a tornado was going to destroy the bay. She’s able to warn the homeless woman, which is good, but it would’ve been nice to get that option for more then one character. In fact, I can think of ten characters I think would’ve been cool to tell to evacuate and in what circumstances they could have happened! 
More Undercut
Kate If She Survives The Roof
When you meet Kate in the hospital in episode four, she'll tell Max that her family has invited her home to visit after her attempt. While she wants to see her family, Kate is unsure whether she's ready to talk to them about everything that happened, and many people in town still want to see her. As Max, you can tell her to stay in Arcadia Bay or suggest that she goes home and only talks when ready. If you tell Kate to leave, she's picked up by her Father during the vortex club party and narrowly misses the tornado. 
I think it should be easy to tell Kate to leave town after you already saved her, so there’s no circumstances that could lead to Max not even getting the option to warn her. 
Warren
After Max reunites with Chloe after her junkyard death, everything goes on as normal with Max convincing Chloe to follow her and give up her plans to take revenge for Rachel. However, what does change is that Max has an opportunity to text Warren to tell him to leave town. 
She only gets this choice if you hugged/kissed him in the alternative timeline. If you just left, Max won’t warn him because she’s far more worried about Chloe. However, if you did show Warren platonic or romantic affection you’ll get the chance to text two things. Either “Leave town” or “Watch the weather and tell people to evacuate.”
If you tell him to leave town, he trusts Max’s judgement after all the weird weather and drives out of Arcadia Bay. If you tell him stay and watch the weather, it can be presumed that Warren was one of the first to spot the storm and perished telling people to evacuate.  
Brooke and Daniel 
For these two you can save them either separately or at one time. 
To save them both at once, you'll need to tell Daniel to go to the Vortex Club party and accept Warren's movie invitation. Like in canon, they'll make a date to visit an art gallery, but unlike in-game, they'll leave Arcadia the same night of the Vortex Club party to get to their destination by Saturday.
But what if you don’t want to tell Daniel to attend the party or to accept Warren’s invitation? Well those are valid choices in a choice based game so let’s talk about how you can save them separately. 
You can save Daniel if you allowed him to draw your picture and told him not to go to the vortex club party. Daniel will thank Max for being a good friend, and admit that he’s been thinking of taking a break from Arcadia Bay to get away from the bullying. Here Max can either tell him to stick it out in Arcadia Bay to beat the bullies, or encourage him to leave as soon as possible so he doesn’t have to deal with it anymore. If you tell him to leave then he’s long gone by the time the storm hits. 
You can save Brooke by declining Warren’s invitation and convincing her to let you fly her drone. At the Vortex Club party she’ll be friendly talking to you since she doesn’t view you as a threat for Warren’s affection. There Max will be able to bring up the strange weather, and Brooke will admit that it scares her because science can’t explain it. Max can then say either “I’m sure it’ll be okay” or “Maybe your guts right.” If you tell Brooke it’ll be fine she’ll thank Max and go back to the party. If you say that her gut is right Max will imply that something is wrong and suggest that Brooke get out while she can. Brooke takes that advice and misses the storm. 
Samuel And A Squirrel
If you want Samuel to survive you’ll need to go on a quest. 
In episode three on campus, you can find an injured squirrel in the custodial room. Its leg will be hurt, but it's nothing that can't be fixed. If you alert Samuel to the squirrel, you'll get a brief cutscene where Samuel bandages its leg and puts it in a cardboard box to recover. Here he'll thank Max for looking out for his squirrels and admit that this entire week has felt off with the animals dying.
At this point, Max can say either, "I'm glad you're here to look out for them," or "Something feels evil about this week." If you tell Samuel you're glad he's there, he'll say that a part of him will always be on campus. If you tell Samuel something feels evil, he'll agree and say that Max knows more than anyone, so he'll take her word for it. He tells Max he's leaving the bay and assures her that the injured squirrel they saved will travel with him. When Max asks about the rest of the squirrels, Samuel tells her that he gets the sense Arcadia Bay isn’t after the squirrels, but the people that live there.
Alyssa 
This one is simple! If protected Alyssa in each episode then you can tell Alyssa “This town is bad luck” at the Vortex Club party. She’ll take this seriously since Max seemed always knew when to protect her, and decide to leave town until Monday. 
Evan 
You can save Evan by exploring. 
While you’re in the school at night during Episode 3, you can find a brochure for an art gallery opening on Saturday in the classroom. If you locate the paper then you can tell Evan about it during Episode 4, and he’ll respond with excitement. He’ll exclaim that he has to go and thank Max for letting him know. Therefore he’s safe from the storm. 
Dana
You can save Dana by finding her pregnancy test. 
At the Vortex Club she’ll tell Max that everything going on in her life has been a lot lately, and it’s all been overwhelming. Max can either tell her “I’m sure you’ll figure it out” or “Maybe you should take a trip.” If you tell her to take a trip she’ll think that’s a great idea and leave Arcadia Bay. But if you tell her to figure it out or don’t find the test then she’ll stay and die in the storm. 
Taylor 
To warn Taylor you’ll need to comfort Victoria, be kind to her, and not blame her for Kate’s suicide attempt. If you do that Taylor will view Max as a kind person and be willing to open up to her at the Vortex Club party. 
Instead of dancing you’ll find Taylor sitting in a corner looking sad. If you ask her what’s wrong with all the above requirements met she’ll tell you that her Mom is in the hospital again. She’ll say that her Mother told her to stay and enjoy the party, but she’s worried and wants to visit her in the hospital outside Arcadia. As Max you can either tell Taylor to “Enjoy the party” or “Go to your Mom.” Telling Taylor to enjoy the party will end with her cheering up and going to dance. Telling Taylor to go to her Mom will convince her to leave Arcadia Bay. 
Justin 
During episode four on campus when Chloe talks to Justin, you’ll have the option to tell her to warn him that a storm is coming. Now this is going to be controversial...but this would be based on your Before The Storm choices. I know that Before Storm came out after Life Is Strange, but I’m making a fun post on the internet so let’s just pretend otherwise. 
Justin will accept Chloe’s warning if you did the majority of these things in Before The Storm: Tell him to cover his weed smell, purchased weed from Frank, refused to empty your pockets, told Steph that Rachel is single (Because he’s into Rachel.), and did well in the play. You don’t have to do all of these things, just 3/5 of them. 
If he accepts Chloe’s warning, Max will ask Chloe what she said and Chloe will jokingly respond “That weed is way better in Portland.” If Chloe’s warning isn’t believed then she’ll tell Max “Justin was a bust.” and leave it at that.

Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995)
Tumblr media
Die Hard with a Vengeance marks a turning point for the series. Bruce Willis’ John McClane is starting to have a lot more in common with the typical invincible movie action heroes and less with the audience members watching him on the big screen. The setting is also a big departure from what we saw earlier: the action takes place in the entirety of New York rather than in an isolated location. That’s alright. It wouldn’t make sense for what we saw in Die Hard and Die Hard 2 to happen AGAIN. This movie’s trying something different and with the team up of Willis and Samuel L. Jackson, it's a refreshing change.
After a bomb is detonated in New York City, the man responsible, “Simon” (Jeremy Irons), gives the NYPD an ultimatum: John McClane (Willis) must follow a series of clues and riddles to disarm various explosives spread throughout the city. If he doesn't, more people will die. Helping McClane is Zeus Carver (Samuel L. Jackson), a civilian who tries to intervene and unwillingly becomes a player in this deadly game of “Simon Says”.
Directed by John McTiernan, the film feels like “Die Hard” in several ways and doesn’t in others. McClane still has his smart mouth and approaches the clues he has to unravel in unconventional ways. He might not be trapped in a building or an airport but he is forced to confront Simon, who has the city trapped. Jeremy Irons’ character also makes this feel like Die Hard because he’s a charismatic, intelligent foe whose initial plan hides something much bigger and grander. Another detail about him (I won't spoil it) ties this picture back to the first. It feels a bit contrived but assuming you buy it, the motivations all make sense.
At its weakest, Die Hard 3 falls prey to its own fantastic stunts. Even with McClane being a trained police officer and his “abilities” rubbing off on Zeus, there are some stunts here no one could survive in real life. They certainly make the film feel bigger than the first two but this also makes it feel too long. Don’t get me wrong. The action is great. You get car chases, time-sensitive puzzles, foot races, shootouts, hand-to-hand combat, explosions, narrow escapes, and more. It’s just that you look at this movie, you flashback to a few years prior when a lack of shoes was a big deal and it feels like that gap is too wide.
A large part of this film’s success is due to the performances, or rather the natural charisma of its leads. Willis has proven himself twice in the series already and he does so again. As mentioned before, Irons is great as a bad guy you love to hate. Finally, there’s Samuel L. Jackson. There’s immediate tension between Zeus and McClane. One of Zeus’ first lines has him tell his nephews to stay away from white people. Needless to say, he does not like the police. Now, these two are going to have to work together for the greater good. The back-and-forth dialogue as they argue while rushing to the clues Simon is giving them is filled with laughs and memorable one-liners. In many ways, this is exactly what you want when you hear Jackson is in a film.
Die Hard with s Vengeance is a good, but not great, third installment in the series. It doesn’t repeat what happened before but contains certain elements that make it feel similar. You won’t be watching it every December 25th but when it comes to the stunts, the laughs and the thrills, it satisfies plenty. (On Blu-ray, November 26, 2021)

I can’t find one red carpet interview where someone asks SLJ about his wife LaTanya’s character (Mama Mabel, from “Luke Cage”) being part of the MCU now.
Journalism is truly dead.
Anyway I love them so much and wish Mabel and Nick could meet, but sadly she is dead. So here is them together on the Graham Norton show.
