The word choices for "Through The Tunnel" by Doris Lessing adds a sense of suspense at the climax of the story. The author  selected these words in an attempt to describe the feeling of being underwater, inside a dark tunnel. The author expresses the urgency of where Jerry is by using words that described how dark it was in the tunnel and water.

We first know what the tunnel and the water looks like ("He was in a small rock-bound hole filled with yellowish-gray water" and immediately after, how it felt ("The roof  was sharp and pained his back", "it felt slimy as well as sharp"). The author even describes how Jerry felt, and how taxing the journey was on his body ("His head  was swelling, his lungs cracking"). This, combined with Jerry's countdown of him holding this breath, expressed the limited time Jerry had before he could no longer hold his breath to provide an overall exciting but extreme sense of danger.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
