 Deepwater Summary
Deep Water is an extract taken from the book Men and Mountains by
William Douglas.

 The chapter is about the writer’s journey of overcoming the fear of

water with sheer determination and will power, which is deeply rooted in
him since childhood.

As a child, when he was 3 or 4 years old, he went to the beach in

California with his father. He got scared by the might of the huge waves
which swept over him and it instilled a fear in his sub – conscious mind.

A few years later, he joined a swimming pool where  he was pushed into
the pool by another boy and experienced death closely.
Many years after that incident, he stayed away from water but the
desire to go fishing and swimming  was strong enough to overcome his
fear. He learned swimming with the help of an instructor who ensured
that he will able to swim in huge lakes and waterfalls also.

Still, when he would swim, the fear from his childhood embedded in his
sub-conscious mind would grip him over and over again. He challenged his
fear in the face of it and finally conquered it.

William realized that death is peaceful and it is the fear of death that is
terrorizing. His will to live life grew intensely as he had overcome his
fear and started living fearlessly.

To sum up, Deep Water summary, we learn that if we are determined

enough and have the courage, we can overcome any fear that comes our
way without letting the fear overpower

The story 'Deep Water' by William O Douglas is significant as it provides a moral to the readers to

stuck. Therefore, this story helps us a lot to co-relate with our personal situations and get the
better of ourselves.
