What to Focus On

  • William O. Douglas was an American jurist and writer.
  • The chapter is autobiographical.
  • The central theme is fear and its conquest.

  • The fear started when Douglas was three or four years old.
  • The beach experience created a strong emotional memory.
  • A painful childhood memory can influence later behaviour.

  • The incident happened when Douglas was ten or eleven years old.
  • The pool was safe, which made the near-drowning even more shocking.
  • The boy who threw him in was about eighteen years old.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The chapter is mainly about a swimming accident and nothing more.

Douglas first became afraid of water because of the Y.M.C.A. pool incident.

The Y.M.C.A. pool and the Yakima River are both equally dangerous water bodies.
