Why does Jerry insist to his mother that he needs a pair of goggles after spending a day on the beach? He wants to see the fish more closely. The other boys on the beach had goggles. The salt water burns his eyes when he swims. He thinks the goggles will make him a better swimmer.

Answer:

  • The salt water burns his eyes when he swims.

Step-by-step explanation:

After his dismissal by the more established local young men, who have seen him as juvenile as he sprinkles stupidly in the water, Jerry cries on the grounds that he begrudges their kinship and opportunity and brave. In this way, in the wake of having "cried himself out," Jerry swims back to the shoreline where his mom sits, and requests swimming goggles, bothering her until she takes him to a shop and buys them.

Outfitted with the goggles, Jerry comes back to the huge boundary shake where he jumps down to the base of this stone and he drives forward until he discovers the opening that the young men have entered.
