He was water phobiac. So, one day when he was 3-4 years old, he went to a beach with his father. And there a big wave came and knocked him down.
He was not able to breath. And from then on, he was afraid of water. Then when he was 10-11 years old, he thought that let's overcome this fear and learn swimming.
So, when he was going to the swimming pool and he was sitting there, he was afraid of water. The child pushed him into the water and he fell down 9 feet deep into the water. When he fell down, his condition got so bad that he literally experienced death there. His throat was choked, his lungs were bursting and there was no one to hear his voice. This fear sat in his heart and mind again.
For 3 to 3.5 years, this fear sat in his heart and mind. And then in April, after 3 years, he decided that he will overcome this fear. For which he kept a swimming instructor or a teacher.
He started this practice. started swimming in April and finally he started swimming in October and finally he started swimming in April. After that he didn't have any satisfaction in his heart that whether he has come to swim or not. So he started swimming in big lakes, big swimming pools, rivers and when he got scared then he overcame it and finally there came a moment when he completely got rid of his fear and he says that death is peaceful because then you don't have to worry about anything and the fear of death is not a problem.
So basically this was all in the overview and now let's begin with our summary. The story has been taken from the author's autobiography of men and mountains. So author author which is our William Douglas who is our writer. This is a story written by him. Whose name is of men and mountains.
In this piece, he tells about his fear of water and how he conquered it by determination and willpower. So, in this piece, he tells about his fear of water and how he conquered it by determination and willpower. pani se dar tha aur is dar ko over come karke yaane ki is dar se bahar nikal ke aaye determination se aur will power se inke andre dhrinata thi aur will power thi jisko ino ne kabhi tootne ni diya usse ino ne is dar pe jeet pai as a child when he was 3 or 4 years old he would go to the beach in california with his father he would get scared by the strength of the huge waves which swept over him and he instilled fear in his subconscious mind toh jab he chote thi 3 to 4 years ke He went to California with his father and he was afraid of huge waves.
Once a wave came on him and he was knocked down. He lost his breath. He was unable to breathe. From then to the age of 3-4 years, he had a fear of water in his subconscious mind.
A few years later, in his eagerness to learn swimming, he joined a swimming pool where an incident further increased his terror. Then after some years, when he was 10 to 11 years old, he thought that he will learn swimming. He joined a swimming pool and there too, a very bad incident happened due to which his heart and mind got scared and sat in a bad way. he was pushed into the pool by another boy and experienced death closely to inquire 18 years K bully but she need to perish on curtain shorty but Choco on those but chennai William Kupan Eman Haka did you know feet funny much elegant or no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no because he was going to die. Many years after that incident, he stayed away from water, but the desire to go fishing and swimming in nature was strong enough to motivate him to overcome his fear.
For years, he had this fear in his mind and heart. but he was interested in swimming, fishing and water sports so these interests motivated him to learn more swimming and to have a swimming instructor so that he can enjoy all these things in his life and he got rid of his fear he learnt swimming with the help of an instructor who ensured that William knew swimming well enough to be to swim swim in huge lakes and waterfalls also. So, he had an instructor, that is, he had a swimming teacher who taught him swimming for many months.
And finally, he said that now William has learnt swimming. It has become so perfect that he can swim in big lakes and rivers. Still, when he would swim, the fear from his childhood experiences embedded in his subconscious mind would grip him over and over again. He wanted to conquer that fear. He had learnt swimming.
He used to swim in small swimming pools. But he used to get scared. But he didn't want this 1% fear in his life. He said that he would swim in big rivers and lakes and he would completely get rid of this fear in his life.
He faced his fear thinking that now as he knew how to swim what harm could it do it to him. He challenged his fear in the face of it and finally he would vanish. It would vanish. It was a baseless fear. instilled in his subconscious mind.
So what he did was he faced his fear. He went to big lakes to swim and when he reached somewhere in the middle of the lake during swimming, he used to get scared to eat, to grip, to get out of the water. He faced his fear face the fear and said on his face means he experienced that I am saying to fear that what will you do to me what will you do to me I will swim and when he thought like this and motivated himself then fear ran away from there and he started swimming he literally challenged his fear and fear vanished from there he noticed later that in my subconscious mind this fear was baseless means it didn't have any meaning so he started swimming Show a little courage and fear will disappear from your life.
This experience was valuable for him. He had experienced terror and death. This whole experience in his life, the two times he faced water in a bad way, he was drowning and literally died. This experience was very valuable for him and very meaningful.

When William learned to swim, swam in big lakes without any fear and came out of his fear completely, then life could not be lived anymore. that their desire and desire increased.
Now I can face everything without fear. I can experience everything in life. And their desire to live and enjoy life increased.
So children, here our summary ends and now let's discuss with some important comprehension questions and answers. First question is, how does Douglas make clear to the reader the sense of panic that gripped him as he almost drowned? So Douglas again, how did the writers, readers, readers of the story, how did they clear that panic had gripped them, that fear had gripped them, and they almost drowned, almost sank, almost drowned and literally experienced death.
Describe the details that have made the description. Vivid. You have to explain all the details that are explained in the text and you have to explain vividly that is producing clear picture in your mind.
So when you were reading this story, it was coming in your mind that how he would be drowned, how he would be shaking his hand, how he would be screaming for help. All these things that he said, it has come clear in your mind. So you have to explain all the details in the answer. William describes describes his experience where he had a close brush with death at the YMCA swimming pool William described that he was experiencing death at the YMCA swimming pool because he had drowned in the pool as it is first-person occurrence he has described it deeply your first person account a Yankee jinsan a book could apni kahaani batara or course ke barman batani ra to sleep with only about deeply but clearly a cheese but I you eat up the barium the emotional mental and physical struggle and the paralyzing fear of drowning have been discussed in detail the emotional state William had to go through after experiencing death the mental condition the fear he was living with and the physical struggle which means he became very weak after drowning his body would get paralyzed meaning he would not be able to move his body would freeze due to fear he felt these situations and it is explained in detail William retained his intelligence and he had a plan to overcome to the surface he tried it but I did not work but it did not work and after a few trials to save his life death dawned upon him all these details make the description vivid the William battaglia do breath a to an opening so the wood Nick ho it a mcqueen intelligence team when the demand make a plan sticky ticket just I will reach the floor, I will jump, it means as soon as I reach the floor of water, I will jump from my feet, I will come out on the surface like a cock and then I will quickly swim a little and reach the edge.

How did Douglas overcome his fear of water? Ye jo dar tha paani ka, ye jo fear tha, unho ne overcome kaise kya isko? Kaise is dar se bahar nikle? To William Douglas was not able to come out of his fear.
Pehle toh wo bahar hi nahi aapko. So he hired a swimming instructor Once he had learnt swimming, he wanted to check if he had overcome the fear as well. He learnt swimming completely but then he was told to check on himself.
check karna tha ki jab mein akele swimming pool mein ya kisi lake mein ya river mein swim kar raha hu toh kya wo dar phir se toh nahi aara toh unho ne apna apko check bhi kia he would swim in lakes and found the fear to return in small phases unho ne chote chote lakes mein swim karna start ke aur dekha ki abhi kahin kahin thoda bau dar unke dil aur dimaag mein aar raha hai William was no longer scared as he knew that he could swim. And then finally, when he started swimming in big lakes and he didn't get scared even once, he passed his test and he felt that there is nothing that can scare him. Hence he overcame his fear and he came out of his fear.
He was very determined, he had will power, he had the courage to put in hard work and effort. He came out of that too. Because a person who is always in fear, who can never motivate himself, he can never come out of his fear. So he had a lot of will power and determination. Question 3, why does Douglas as an adult recount a childhood experience of terror and is his conquering of it?
What larger meaning does he draw from his experience? So William, William Douglas was a child. Why does he want to conquer the fear of childhood and experience of water?
What is the meaning of this experience in William's life? Why is it so meaningful? skill I experience the William Douglas gives a detailed description of his childhood experience so that the reader gets familiar with the kind of fare that he had as a child to much fun me Joe be durable experience say Joe be Pani Madoop get a California Beach Pobre Brie Larry on cap over a getty yes sorry cheese about detail mix clean curtain tacky Joe readers and Joe hum log in history read current only command me clear or Jackie kiss the rickety cough time kiss the rickety cough time Joe key William experience kerchuk in a child would be When he quotes Roosevelt, all we have to fear is the fear itself.
He tries to draw a larger meaning out of it. from his experience. So Roosevelt who was the president of USA he was quoting what he said here all we have to fear is the fear itself that means we have to scare the fear of death and overcome this fear and come out of it So, from this quote he wants to tell us that his life had a lot of meaning in the incidents He had this experience in his life which he got out of fear And he also said that when he conquered his fear and won over his fear He didn't get scared of anything So, his desire to live more in life and enjoy his life enjoy the desires of the people and their lives became meaningful because till they were scared they were not able to enjoy their life, they were not able to go fishing, they were not able to go to waterfalls, they were not able to swim, they were not able to do any water sports. So as soon as they overcome their fear, their life became meaningful and their desire to live also increased. so children with this we come to end of this chapter I hope you have got the summary and you have understood the question and answers if you are not getting our videos on youtube then you can follow a small step you don't have to do anything you have to go on google and enter our name website kajoki hai magnetbrains.com jaisi aap website ka naam daalenge is tarike se aapke samane ek page aa jaega yaha pe saari classes mentioned ne class 10th 11th 9th 8th 7th and so on aapko jis bhi class ka jo bhi teacher ka video dekhna hai aapko jis bhi you can click on it.
