2. Main ideas of the parts

Part I — Paras. 1- 3

On a tour of France, I saw the Mediterranean Sea, but the rip currents scared me. And it reminded me that I developed a fear of water due to the experience of last summer and since then, the fear wouldn't recede.

Part II — Paras. 4-17

When I saw a boy drowning amid the waves, I was in a mental and emotional struggle whether I should save him because I was extremely terrified of water. After my fierce struggle, I made the single big decision: to throw myself into the water. I finally reached the boy and had him under control; but when I swam back toward shore, the rip current was forcibly dragging us out to sea. I tried to remember how to escape from a rip current, and with that, I slowly made my way to safety, thus conquering my inner fear of water as well.

Part III — Paras. 18-19

I was relaxed and happy in a moment of triumph and salvation.
