Jerry and his mother’s relationship is excellent, but his mother feels she is being over protective and Jerry is constantly attentive and vigilant to causes sure his mother is still on the beach waiting for him (lines 117-118). Jerry’s mother almost causess him feel childish as a result she made him stay on the beach for so long. Jerry’s mother affects his swimming as a result
she causes him quite after he gets a bloody nose and tells him to take it easy (lines 182-183). Consequently she causes him take a day to rest as a result she is worried about him constantly getting bloody noses (lines 186-187). Jerry’s mother complicates his desire to swim through the tunnel by making him take a day off(lines 186-187) and telling him they were going to leave in a couple of days (lines 205-206). She also gets concerned and worried about every little scratch and bruise Jerry comes back with which causes her to causes him rest and delays his plan. However, he still gets to eventually fulfill his desire and causes it through the tunnel even though his mother causes it to be difficult. He was not going to let his mother be subversive to his plan and even if she did he was not going to capitulate. These are my examples of how Jerry’s relationship with his mother is and how his mother complicates his desire to swim through the tunnel. Even though Jerry’s mother made it difficult to fulfill his desire he eventually got to do what he set out to. So in the extent It all worked out.
