Deep Water

Deep Water



How would you feel if you hated water and finally had the courage to go swimming classes, when you went all by yourself and waited for someone to come, someone finally came but they through you in the deep end, you were drowning, he wouldn’t help till someone else came and told him to get you out of the water? That is what happened in the true story Deep Water by William O. Douglas. Although I am not afraid of water I am afraid of heights, when someone reads this they will most likely think of their fears. Someone has tried to through me down two flights of stairs and they were metal stairs so as soon as I read this I thought of when I was going to fly down stairs.

Some people have paraskavedekatriaphobia which is a fear of Friday the 13th. When people are afraid of something it is very hard to not be afraid of it any more. Although I am afraid of heights I still go on fairs wheels and I don’t feel that I will fall and die because my fear of heights is not as great as it was when I was little. Now I really don’t care when I am up high. I am a person that got rid of my fear of heights. Although people have fears some people don’t have any fears.

With a lot of people being afraid of heights, or water, or something else. If you can name anything someone some wear is afraid of it. And others think that they are perfect in every way that they can because they are not afraid of anything. Those people think that they can be better than everyone because they aren’t afraid of anything while the people around them are afraid of something.

Deep water was a story that really made you think about your fears and fears that other people have. When William O. Douglas wrote this I believe that he was trying to make you think about the fears that most everyone has. He wanted to tell his story so that others can really think about what has happened to him. When this story is read, the reader will think of the fears that they have and fears of family or close friends.
