English
1 answer:
andriy [413]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The main crisis and situation of this story was when Jerry decides he wants to be able to swim through the tunnel with the other boys, but he doesn't know if he can make it. After he shows the boys he has the guts to jump off the rock, he wants to prove that he is man enough to swim through the tunnel in the rock. Although, the boys cannot actually communicate with Jerry, he has a sort of mind set that he needs to accomplish this feat in order to maintain his pride. Jerry knew  at first, that he would not be able to swim throughout the tunnel without taking a breath of air, so he did exercises that resolved his problem. Jerry convinced his mother to buy him goggles, which he needed to see where the tunnel begins. On the day before Jerry and his mother were leaving for home, Jerry decided that it was the time to show what he was made of, and swim through the tunnel. He prepared himself, and dived. At first he felt like  an "inflated balloon", he could hold his breath forever, but as the tunnel became darker and eerie, he started to panic and lose his control. Jerry kept swimming and counting the seconds, until he came to a point with a darkness up ahead and no more oxygen left in his system. He thought he was going to die. Finally, Jerry saw a light in the distance, and he swam to the surface. Although his nose was bleeding, and he was in extreme pain, Jerry has proved to himself what he was capable of.

Can somebody give me an idea for a rube Goldberg?? There should be 10 steps!
kramer

The first thing you should know about Rube Goldberg is that he is a cartoonist   who created cartoons about crazy machine ideas like completing a very simple task using a very big production

The second thing is that many people use Rube Goldbergs machines to do stuff. There is a video on U tube which many people created a machine to light up a chirmas tree!!

An Idea is that search Rube Goldberg machines on U TUBE  and get some ideas!

Hope this helped (:
