Jerry's Mature In Through The Tunnel By Doris Lessing
“Through the Tunnel” A risk that almost takes a life In the story “Through the Tunnel” by Doris Lessing, there is a boy whose name is Jerry. He is a big mamma's boy. In the story he goes away from his mama, and into the bay with his friends. Jerry and his friends in the bay find an underwater tunnel, and they all swam through except Jerry, but Jerry takes a dangerous risk.
Then Jerry shows that he has matured because at the beginning of the story he really only talks and stays by his mom and now he is more independent and does things he usually wouldn't say like, he tells his mom that “I want to go back to the bay” (lessing 358), instead of staying by her. He also showed how he matured when he made it through the tunnel and saw the boys
