Imagine if you didn’t know how to swim and someone threw you in a nine-foot deep pool. What would you do? This is exactly what happened to William when he was a child. Fortunately William did not drown while in the pool, but someone had saved him and he was okay. Deep Water by William O. Douglas was a story I could relate to and a story that actually meant something.
I can relate to the story Deep Water because my little cousin is very afraid of water. He is always scared that his house will flood. Surprisingly he loves the pool, but doesn’t go in the deep water. Some other ways I can relate is the fear of drowning and other fears. Whenever I’m in the middle of Pewaukee Lake, I’m scared that one of my siblings or I will drown. Luckily, my whole family knows how to swim. Everyone has fears, such as William’s fear of drowning. I also have fears such as my family dying or something bad happening. William’s fear and my fear are very similar.
Even though I can relate to the story Deep Water a lot, it is also a very meaningful story. When he finally conquered his fear of drowning, he swam 2 miles across a lake! He knew he could do it all along, but he just had to try and do his best. William never gave up on his lessons after that. He knew that he had to conquer his fear. A lot of children with fears can relate to this story.
The story Deep Water by William O. Douglas has an actually meaning and is something I can really relate to. It relates to a lot of kids around the world. If children ever read this story I hope they learn to try to overcome their fears and don’t give up.
