NCERT Solutions for class 12 English Core Flamingo Deep Water

1. Notice these words and expressions in the text. Infer their meaning from the context.

Treacherous:
Subdued my prid:
Flailed at the surface:
Fishing for landlocked salmon:
Misadventure:
Bob to the surface like a cork:
Curtain of life fell:
Back and forth across the pool:

Think As you Read

1. What is the “misadventure” that William Douglas speaks about?

2. What were the series of emotions and fears that Douglas experienced when he was thrown into the pool? What plans did he make to come to the surface?

3. How did this experience affect him?


1. Why was Douglas determined to get over his fear of water?

2. How did the instructor “build a swimmer” out of Douglas?

3. How did Douglas make sure that he conquered the old terror?

Understanding the Text

1. How does Douglas make clear to the reader the sense of panic that gripped him as he almost drowned? Describe the details that have made the description vivid.

2. How did Douglas overcome his fear of water?

3. Why does Douglas as an adult recount a childhood experience of terror and his conquering of it? What larger meaning does he draw from his experience?

Talking about the text

1. “All we have to fear is fear itself”. Have you ever had a fear that you have now overcome? Share your experience with your partner.

Talking about Language

1. If someone else had narrated Douglas’ experience, how would it have differed from this account? Write out a sample paragraph or paragraphs from this text from the point of view of a third person or observer to find out which style of narration would you consider to be more effective? Why?
