“Through the Tunnel” Analysis Paragraph

 In the story “Through the Tunnel” by Doris Lessing, I found Jerry convincing that he wanted to achieve his goal. For him to have his nose bleeding and feeling like he was going to die he still went again to find the way out through the tunnel. Also, after hitting his head and almost fainting he still didn't care. He knew if he were to wait another year to go through the tunnel, he wouldn't be the first to go through. He tried to make his lung strong to be able to breathe for about three minutes. When he made it through the tunnel he was surprised that he was able to hold his breath.
