Question

What is Keller's response to criticisms others have about American materialism in regard to the Empire State Building?

Answer 1

Answer:

She claims that the Empire State Building still has poetry beneath its surface, and it´s a source of inspiration, something beautiful and spiritual.

Explanation:

When asked about what he "saw" from the top of the then newly-opened, Hellen Keller, who was famously both deaf and blind since she was a child, wrote a letter (1932) describing her experience. There, she deems those who see the building as a symbol of American Materialism and vanity to be cynics and supersensitive souls, unable to appreciate the beauty of the building and how it symbolizes the efforts put into constructing it.
