Deep Water
How would you feel if you were drowning? In the story Deep Water by William O. Douglas, he dealt with the same problem. He is afraid of water so when the bully threw him into the deep end of a pool. William didn’t know how to swim so he couldn’t get above water. While he was trying swim to the top of the water he wasn’t able because he can’t swim.
His lungs were gasping for air but they weren’t getting anything but water and more water. Everything was starting to go black. William was starting to die and just give up when suddenly the instructor pulled him out of the water. He asked an Instructor to teach him how to swim. You learned anybody can overcome your fears no matter what they are.
The lesson of this short story is that you can overcome any fear that you have. It doesn’t matter if you’re scared of bugs, death, injury, heights, ect: everybody has some kind of fear. But if you wait too long you may never overcome your fear. If you have a fear you should overcome it when you’re still young because if you try to overcome it when you’re old you might not be able to try it.
The story Deep Water was an amazing book from my point of view. It teaches you a lesson about overcoming your fears. If you can overcome your fears you might do thing you never thought you would ever do in your live like go on roller coasters, rock climbing, go in an airplane, ect.
