through the tunnel
SETTINg: it was during summer in a forigen country at the villa beach. CHARACTER:The main character of this story is Jelly and his mother. Jerry loved playing at the beach .Jerry's mother was a widow .she was determined to be neither possessive nor lacking in devotion.Jerry was an english boy .jerry's mother liked his son so much because he was her only son .jerry loved swimming.
Plot and summary:
In Lessing's "Through the Tunnel," Jerry, a young English boy, and his mother are vacationing at a beach they have come to many times in years past. Though the beach's location is not given, it is implied to be in a country that is foreign to them both. Each tries to please the other and not to impose too many demands. The mother, who is a widow, is "determined to be neither possessive nor lacking in devotion," and Jerry, in turn, acts from an "unfailing impulse of contrition—a sort of chivalry."
On the second morning, however, Jerry lets it slip that he would like to explore a "wild and rocky bay" he has glimpsed from the path. His conscientious mother sends him on his way with what she hopes is a casual air, and Jerry leaves behind the crowded "safe beach" where he has always played. A strong swimmer, Jerry plunges in and goes so far out that he can see his mother only as a small yellow speck back on the other beach.
Looking back to shore, Jerry sees some boys strip off their clothes and go running down to the rocks, and he swims over toward them but keeps his distance. The boys are "of that coast; all of them were burned smooth dark brown and speaking a language he did not understand. To be with them, of them was a craving that filled his whole body." He watches the boys, who are older and bigger than he is, until finally one waves at him and Jerry swims eagerly over. As soon as they realize he is a foreigner, though, they forget about him, but he is happy just to be among them.
Jerry joins them in diving off a high point into the water for a while, and then the biggest boy dives in and does not come up. "One moment, the morning seemed full of chattering boys; the next, the air and the surface

experience creating a blog account
It is easy and a simple account to create and it does'nt take a person hours to complete . A good experience creating a blog account is that,you first need to have a google account [gmail] in order to creat a blog account and this makes the whole prosses more easer . Blog account and google mail are defferent but goes hand in hand because you can not creat a blog account if you don't have a gmail account.
