Answer:

He is as an outsider.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jerry is a short story character "Through the Tunnel" who travels with his mother, during her vacation, to a beach in a foreign country. At this beach, Jerry visualizes a group of local boys swimming to the rocks, he is excited to make new friends, but when he gets close to the boys he gets nervous because, as a foreigner, Jerry is physically different from the boys and can not even understand the idiom he they say.
