Journal 10 Due Tuesday:

• 1. Check the text to see what you learn about the thoughts and feelings of Jerry’s mother. How would the story be different if she, rather than the omniscient narrator, were telling it? 

• 2. What details about Jerry’s swim through the tunnel were most vivid and terrifying to you? 

• 3. Have you ever taken great risks to prove yourself?  Do you find it convincing that Jerry takes such a risk and survives? Explain.
