What would have happened if Jerry's mothrt had watched him closely all one day?

Explanation:

In Doris Lessing's "Through the Tunnel," Jerry and his mother are in a foreign place. The place is unforgiving and is described as wild. Jerry's mother, worried that she might be too protective, decides to let Jerry explore without her presence. if his mother had not made this decision, Jerry would never have been allowed to swim through the tunnel, since he very well could have died while trying to swim through the tunnel.

two factors or characteristics of a chapter that might make it difficult to read would be words i don't understand, or if i don't fully understand what's going on in the chapter. strategies i can use to get through the difficult material would be a dictionary, and re-reading previous chapters to get a better grasp of what the author is trying to say.
