The Dream Job Analysis
The Dream Job
After Louis had graduated in 1828, Pignier asked Braille to stay and be a student teacher. Louis must of loved the offer, since he probably would love to help other blind children like he once was. He had decided to stay there and teach, staying most of his life there.
One thing that was probably very useful to Louis was his pupils respected him. They would always come to Braille if they needed anything. If one of Louis’s students needed money, he was ready to give them a loan. He was patient and very understanding and popular among the students. He first started teaching the blind and the sighted in geography and grammar.
After five years of his profession, Louis had finally been promoted to full teacher. He must of been pretty …show more content…
Another blind boy would read the letter to Pignier since he did not know how to read Braille.
Another Wonderment In 1839, Louis had a eureka moment! He would shape the dots in Braille to look like letters in the alphabet! Then the sighted and the blind could write to each other without help from others to read it!
So, Louis went with this concept and tried to make something all could read. In the book Who Was Louis Braille, it says and I quote, “Once again he used a paper resting on a board covered with a grille of small openings. The letters were pressed into the paper through the opening with a blunt stylus. The letters were made backward so that they could be read on the other side of the paper.”
This was a pretty good idea, but the one thing that still wasn’t the best, it took too long to write each letter. So, Louis went to an old friend, an inventor, Pierre Foucault, to see if he could make, what we would say, a typewriter like machine so people could write faster. Both of these men were ahead of their time, since the typewriter was still far away from being invented. Pierre credited this invention to Louis, and said,”My new machine is nothing but the continuation of his discovery.”

His health got worse again. He knew in this kind of health, he needed to stop teaching. So, he retired. He had been in combat with tuberculosis for even more than two decades!
In December in 1851, Louis had a much bigger attack than before. He started to cough up blood. He was surrounded by his family and friends when his day came. Unfortunately, on January 6, 1852, Louis Braille fell asleep two days after his forty-third day of birth!
What he Deserves Louis was buried next to his father and one of his sisters in his hometown cemetery. He had left many instructions on what to do with his things, and one important object was a wooden box. He wanted it burned with no peeking inside the box. Although, they did. They found many pieces of paper from people who had borrowed money from him. It was his way of saying don’t worry about it.
After two years of his death, they finally named his technique the official code for the blind.
About twenty-five years later, they simply called it “braille” like we do today.
In 1952, they had Louis finally been recognized by his country for the code. He was moved to a Pantheon in Paris where all the french heroes are
