Question

why does Douglas aa an adult recount a childhood experience of terror and his conquering of it ? what large meaning does he draw from his experience?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Douglas as an adult recounts a childhood experience of terror and his conquering it because the experience had a deep meaning for him. ... The larger meaning that he had drawn from his experience is that there is terror only in the fear of death as Roosevelt had once said “all we have to fear is the fear itself”.

Answer 2

$\rm\huge\underline{Answer}$

The experience of terror was a handicap Douglas suffered from during his childhood. His conquering of it shows his determination, will power and development of his personality.

He drew a larger meaning from this experience. “In death there is peace.” “There is terror only in the fear of death.” He had experienced both the sensation of dying and the terror that fear of it can produce. So, the will to live somehow grew in intensity. He felt released- free to walk the mountain paths, climb the peaks and brush aside fear.
