The Deep Water Essay

In the story Deep Water by William O. Douglas he has been writing other short story novel such as "Deep Water". This book has a lot of horrify parts in it. The author of the book wrote this book of his experience in his life about and the fears that he has. This young boy in the story is scared about swimming and just learning how to swim and only ten years old and a new experience and knowing the feeling of suffocating under water.

Being in this situation at this young age is horrify and untreatable. The first experience is always the worst and the feel of failure for this young child. He is only 10 years old and other guys that were 18 years old in college through him into the deep end the pool and called him screwy and names. He had nearly drowned, but he knew that he could get by sinking to the bottom of he could spring of to the top by hitting the bottom hard and swim to safety.

His plan had back fried. He only had his nose out of the water but he could get his mouth out to take breath. He had kept on trying it over and over again every time he failed. He found himself trapped inside the pool and not feeling well and puke. He is now terrified and frightened of the water in pool. He couldn’t get into the boat his legs where freezing and he is paralyzed and tried.

This has affected William very much it stopped him from doing any water actives such as swimming, fishing, canoeing and some other water activities. William had decided to get a trainer to help have little to no fear of the water anymore. This training had made William not afraid of water at all anymore. It would have been terrified to be in his position it would have been terrifying to have been there only breathing and never know when it would be your last.

This short story is full of sad terrifying stories and last breathe but in the end the author did a great job. If anyone that hasn't read this and has read it after it would be really good cause it wouldn't be that good. I didn't like this book as much as others but, it was well written and had excellent details about the character and the author did a great job on it.
