Question

moral of deep water lsn in class 12 english

Answer 1

The story teaches us the lesson of determination and will power. As a result of an unfortunate incident with a bully, the writer had developed an extreme fear of the water. However, he decides to face his fear and works hard until he becomes a good swimmer. He encounters the fear again and again by deliberately challenging himself to swim in various places. In this way, he is able to get rid of his fear completely.

Answer 2

Deep Water by William Orville Douglas tells us about the writer who overcomes the fear of water through hard work, courage, and willpower. The fear vanishes when one takes the courage to face it. Therefore, by taking courage it shows how our fears are baseless. Dangers are created by fear and therefore the writer at the end justifies the quote, "Where there is a will, there is away."
