Justify the title of the book The Story of My Life by Helen Keller.

The book The Story of My Life is an autobiography about the life of Helen Keller.  The title tells exactly what it is about.  Helen writes about the real events in her life in a narrative form.  She tells about her experiences as a deaf and blind person, as well as about her innovative education.  She writes about her life from birth until her early twenties in the book.  

Helen describes her autobiography as being "the history of [her] life."  In writing her book, Helen had to decide what parts of her life to include and what not to include.  She attempts "to present in a series of sketches only the episodes that seem... to be the most interesting and important."  For example, Helen summarizes the first seven years of her life in three chapters.  She writes in detail about the next year of her life (the first year that Miss Sullivan was her teacher) in chapters four through eight.
