While reading Story of My Life by Helen Keller, I thought that it was similar to Wonderstruck because of the lack of communication. One thing I realized was that Hellen also couldn't see which made it harder for her to understand everything had a name. The characters in both stories are having to learn how to sign; I can't imagine having to communicate like that, processing the hand movements that fast is very difficult.
