As the reader can infer <span>Jerry's mom does not want </span>to be<span> too controlling of Jerry and wants to let him explore and learn some life experiences by himself. Due to this Jerry is able to go by himself to another section of the water away from the "safe beach" by himself. Although this might seem </span>to be<span> just a minor gesture by his mom this act actually sets the base for </span>the whole<span> plot of the story. If Jerry had not been to the other section of the water he would not have found the underwater tunnel that </span>the whole<span> story </span>is focused<span> around, nor the other boys in the water he was trying to impress by making it through the tunnel. That being said the rest of the story simply involves him planning how he will make it through the tunnel and practicing holding his breath which all leads up to him actually making it through the tunnel successfully and alive.</span>
