Wherever Louis went, his heavy paper and stylus went. (The stylus looked like an awl , the tool that made Louis blind.) "Sometimes i think ill kill myself if i don't succeed", said Louise. First, Louis drew six dots called a cell. Next, he numbered each dot. The, he took his stylus and raised dot number one. That would stand for the letter "A". He raised dots one ans two. That stood for the letter "B". He also raised dots one and four., which stood for the letter "C". Finally he created all 26 letters of the alphabet. He was only 15! He showed Doctor Pignier.

To teach the blind how to read, you had to use raised print. Louise was not very good at it. He found it very challenging. All of the letters felt the same to Louise. "This isn't really reading", said Louis. "It's just a show-off trick!" In Louis' School's library, there were only 14 books! This is because raised print books are very expensive. He wanted to figure out a better way to read, but his friends just told him to stop. "Alright, we want to read too. Find us a way if your so smart", said one of the boys. "I cant, Louis cried. "I'm blind!"

Blind children did not go to school, There were not many jobs, so most blind people became beggars. Louis' parents did not want him to grow up like that. They treated him like a normal child. He still did chores, helped his mom around the house,and went to school. Louis' father made him a cane so that he can work outside. Louis always sang songs while working to see if sounds would jump back. If they did, it meant something was close. This is called echolocation.
