The beautiful sunflower is well-known for following the path of the sun. From the east in the morning to the west at night, the sunflower repeats this process each day with the bloom always facing the direction of the sun.
Helen Keller, left blind and mute after an illness at the age of nineteen months, proves that attitude, and a refusal to accept life in “the shadows of the prison-house,” changes insurmountable challenges into awe-inspiring achievement. She wrote The Story of My Life so that she could contribute to society and help others learn from her story which reveals her desperate attempts to communicate and her many failures and confrontations en route to overwhelming success. https://www.enotes.com/homework-help/keep-your-face-sunshine-you-cannot-see-shadow-by-267032
My recommend to you is, first of all read that book and after just watch the movie “Black” and you gonna feel how deeply her life was…
What this quote this means is that people should be optimistic. The idea of keeping your face to the sunshine is that you should always look on the bright side of life. If you do so, Keller is saying, you will not see the “shadows.” That means that you will not see the potential bad things that could happen to you.
If you do this, you will be a happier person. You will not always be worrying about the potential bad things in life (the “shadows”). Because of this, you will be free to enjoy the good things that happen to you.
