At that time, most blind people didn't become educated. Braille went to Paris to study. But there were few books for the blind, Louis knew that books were the key to learning. He struggled with ideas for three years. Finally, at fifteen, he invented an alphabet made with raised dots. The dots were arranged in a certain pattern (形式) for each letter, Blind people could then "read" by feeling the patterns of the dots.
