b)How did the near drowning experience at the pool affect Douglas? |
| Answer» <p>The drowning incident at the pool had many short and long-term consequences on Douglas. The short-term consequences such as weakness, trembling, sickness, haunting fear of water, etc.As time elapsed, these consequences took theshape of more sinister and deeply ingrained fears. Douglas developed aperennial aversion to water; the very sight of a water body such as a lake,river, water fall, etc. made him petrified. When he accompanied his friends toany picnic spot, he would stay on shore, while his friends enjoyed the watersports and recreational activities. Douglas felt terribly scared and bad aboutit. This humiliation gave birth to a strong desire to overcome his fear ofwater.</p> <p>thanks</p> | |
