Answer:
Question 1.
What is the ‘misadventure’ that William Douglas speaks about?
Answer:
The ‘misadventure’ is the incident in which the author at the age of ten or eleven was picked up and thrown into the swimming pool of Y.M.C.A. by a bruiser. The author didn’t know how to swim and was about to drown.
Question 2.
What were the series of emotions and fears that Douglas experienced when he was thrown into the pool? What plan did he make to come to the surface?
Answer:
When Douglas was thrown into the water by a big bruiser, initially he was shocked and frightened. He went deep into the water in the same posture in which he was sitting. He was terrified and panic- stricken. But he kept his presence of mind and planned to make a big jump the moment his feet touched the bottom and to spring to the surface like a cork. But unfortunately all his three attempts failed and at the end he felt suffocated and paralysed. Full of stark terror, he became unconscious.
