Okay 1. There once was five perfectly shaped seeds. Their names happened to be Victoria, Chelbj, Tehano, and Tete. They all hated one of the more deformed seeds, his name was Rahnay. Luckily Rahnay had Briana, Joss, and Lauryn as her friends. Since Rahnay had these friends, she put up with the bullying. The five perfect seeds bullied Rahnay because she was the only not normal seed.
One day when Rahnay was walking through the desert, she heard a very loud boom. She was pummeled in the face by a pebble.

Check below for the answer and explanation.
Explanation:
The author, in these two excerpts, describes the consequence of sin and disobedience to the creator. Lucifer and Adam utterly fell from grace and the positions of honor that they were despite the uniqueness that surrounded their existences. This is as a result of their acts of unfaithfulness and insubordination unto God.
In both excerpts, the author describes Lucifer and Adam as specially and uniquely made. Concerning Lucifer, he said, " ...O Lucifer, brightest of angels all". He describes Adam as "...made by God's own finger, And not begotten of man's unclean seed", "...and had power at need Over all Paradise".
The author goes further to explain how great the punishments of their disobedience unto God were. Lucifer fell into hell and became Satan. "... yet he fell though sin Down into hell, and he is yet therein". He describes Lucifer's misery as perpetual, the one he will never escape from. "Now thou art Satan, and canst never win Out of thy miseries; how great thy fall!" Adam also fell from the position of high esteem that he was placed and was driven out of his beautiful abode, Eden. This is because he disobeyed the decree of the creator, similar to the act of Lucifer. " Than he None ever on earth stood higher, till his deed Drove him to labour, Hell and misery."
"Through the Tunnel" tells the story of Jerry, who is on vacation with his mother. Though he is only a young boy, the story can be read about his passage into manhood.
While he is at the beach, he sees a group of older boys swimming. At times they appear to be diving, because they go under the water for a bit without immediately coming back up. When they do come up for air, they are on the other side of a large rock. Jerry realizes they must be swimming through an underwater tunnel. He feels ashamed he is unable to follow them and vows he will do it too.
He begins to practice holding his breath but this causes his nose to bleed and he feels sick. He is afraid and wants to give up. At this point, the end of their vacation is getting closer, and Jerry knows the time is now. Basically, he's afraid to do it and he's afraid not to do it.
Eventually, Jerry jumps into the water and swims through the tunnel. He's afraid but he keeps going anyway. After a few minutes he appears on the other side -- he's accomplished his goal and feels triumphant.
This quite literally mimics a boy moving into adulthood. He has set a challenge for himself and is scared by the thought of it. Likewise, growing up is challenging and scary. He has moments when he thinks he cannot possibly continue, but he does. Growing up is the same way.
At the end of the story, he emerges on the other side a new person -- one who has moved through his fear and is now triumphant. In this way, swimming through the tunnel symbolizes a boy growing into a man.
