Through the Tunnel indeed presents inspiring clarity and frankness due to the structure of the plot and the metaphors used to tell a coming of age story.

Focusing mostly on Jerry, the plot is very simple. Jerry’s key character determiner is his devotion and willingness to go beyond his own age.

The short story contains several fairly big metaphors within itself that explain its inspiring nature. The allegory of older boys whom Jerry is not able to understand illustrates how foreign and peculiar adult world is to someone like Jerry. Another great image is one of two beaches. One beach is familiar, where his mother is and the other is dangerous and unknown. Jerry is, nonetheless, fascinated with the second beach, a symbol of adult world and ultimately, of the inevitable path of growing up.

That path can be taken with hope and purpose, like Jerry did, which is the most inspiring aspect of the whole story.

Question 2: The answer is A.

Tumo exhibits a Growth mindset. Rather than believing his qualities are set and looking for a job in a similar plant, he is certain that his intelligence can grow. Because of this, he strives to improve himself.

Question 3: The answer is C.

By isolating himself, Tumo would not be building resilience, on the contrary, he would be allowing the situation to get the best of him.

How does the passage foreshadow doodles death
stich3 [128]
In The Scarlet Ibis, there are many instances of foreshadowing through motifs that we see at the end all represents Doodle's death. One example is the Ibis itself, which had represented Doodle since the beginning. It was injured, just like him, and died, which he would eventually do. On a deeper level, the passage discusses the seasons. Originally, Doodle was born in the Spring. However, he begins to learn how to walk in the Summer a few years later. Doodle begins to get worse in Autumn because he has less training, and eventually, he dies in the Winter.
