Answer: In "Through the Tunnel" Jerry starts out with the desire to feel included. He usually hangs out with his mom, where he is safe. When he sees a group of boys having fun, he decides to join them. They all swim into a tunnel shortly after. When he isn't able to swim through the tunnel, he is ridiculed. He continues to practice by himself on the days where the older boys aren't there, and once he gets badly hurt. Still, he goes and tries again. The main conflict in the story is that Jerry wants to be independent. He wants to prove to himself that he can get through the tunnel. Once he manages to do so, he spends time with his mom again or by himself. It is no longer about impressing the older boys, for he feels independent and doesn't need to do so. The moral of the story is that Jerry gets out of his comfort zone, and he is rewarded by accomplishing his goal as well as earning a sense of independence, something many adolescents struggle with. Therefore, the sentence that best summarizes the story is this: In "Through the Tunnel" Jerry challenges himself for more.
Explanation:
Courage is something that cannot be analyzed or described in a dictionary, and it can only be shown when people overcome hindrances, challenges, and adversity. One such time I overcame adversity was learning how to play soccer efficiently and become good the sport. It took many days, months, and even a couple of years to score my team a win; in every game, I never got an opportunity to score a goal. However, I kept on trying, despite how others did not praise or encourage me. But one day, on a soccer game, I received the ball. I was very excited, but I knew I was going to let my team down. Still, I just remembered the effort and diligence I put into practice. I decided to kick the ball and hope for it to make it in the goal. I strategically kicked, but immediately looked away from the goal because I had a feeling it would not make it. I walked oppositely from the goal, and a moment later, I was picked up by my fellow players. I was confused, and I asked them what had happened. They were all happy to say that I finally scored a win for the team. All in all, there have been many times when I have overcome adversity and other hindrances, but this is one challenge or adversity that stands out from the rest.
