<span>“Through the Tunnel” is a coming-of-age story of
Jerry, who wants to do what the other grown-up men can do, and his mother,
who does not want to look too ‘possessive nor lacking in devotion’ knowing that
her son is going through adolescence. Swimming through the tunnel is Jerry’s
way to establish his identity or go through character adjustments. From the New
York Times article “Doris Lessing Wins Nobel Prize in Literature”, it can be
noted that Doris Lessing is a writer described as <span>“that
epicist of the female experience, who with skepticism, fire and visionary power…”
by the Swedish academy. Her struggle when she was 15-year-old and a runaway
from home must have also reflected the struggle of Jerry proving that he can
swim through the tunnel. </span></span>

Explanation:
Answer: "great, grey, stone wall", ''Sour smelling cement''
Explanation:
If we are trying to connect both the Berlin Wall picture and Inge's Wall (literary artwork) we must be aware of the story in that Inge's Wall is representing.
Inge's Wall story: In Inge's Wall, there is one wall with two sides, one side is unattainable and alive, unlike the other side where the main character Inge is living. Her side is grey, without color and lifeless. She discovered the bright side when she looked up through the one hole that she found on that wall and then she saw a different world, opposite of her own.
- If we compare the phrases with the picture, we can see that the wall is great, grey and from the stone and sour smelling cement because that was her point of view in the novel.
Since we cannot see much more, we cannot tell if there are busy traffic or laughter and music on the other side of the wall.
a contingency break; inattentional blindness
This scene is an example of a contingency break. A contingency break is when, in a piece of media (usually children movies or TV shows) a scene occurs that is immediately retconned in the next scene. A common example of this is in children's cartoons, when a character may have gotten their clothes dirty in one scene, but they are back to normal in the next with no time for them to have been cleaned. This applies to the movie <em>Shrek</em>, as the three blind mice are turned into horses in one frame, but are back to the status quo in the next.
Inattentional blindness is the failure to notice a fully visible, but unexpected, object/action because one's attention was on another object/action. A contingency break can be considered a "real-life" example of inattentional blindness because, if this scene occurred in real-life, you would not notice the mice turning back to normal as your attention was not focused on them.
