I gave sssskshiwalo.blogspot 8/10 because he answered all questions and he did it the required way. His setting is clear and his plot summary is really the best. His discreption of the main character is clear and really up to the question's standard.
I gave Michellelicious-Michellelicious.blogspot.com 7/10 because the way she answered was not the required way and she missed out alot of important points which were supposed to be the back bone of the plot summary. Her discription of the main character is good but missed out some few points.
I gave shaningwaCota.blogspot.com 8/10 because of his good plot summary and the best discription of the main character and plot summary.

Through the Tunnel
1.Setting
The story is set in an unspecified foreign country, possibly South Africa. On a beach and under water where the young boy always goes to the tunnel.
2.Plot summary
Jerry, a young English boy, and his mother are vacationing at a beach they have come to many times in past years.The mother, who is a widow, is "determined to be neither possessive nor lacking in devotion," and Jerry, in turn, acts from an "unfailing impulse of contrition—a sort of chivalry."On the second morning, however, Jerry lets it slip that he would like to explore a "wild and rocky bay" he has glimpsed from the path. He sees some big boys enjoing their swim at the shore. They were diving in and staying under water for a long time, it came out that they were going through some sort of tunnel under water. Jerry also wanted to go through the tunnel but it took him almost his whole vacation time to figure out where the tunnel was. And again he could not stay under water for a very long time. He started training himself to stay under water for a long time. this ended up in him bleeding badly, nose bleed, but he didn't give up on his training. On their second last vacation day, desperate and also afraid, he went down into the water to find and go through the tunnel, fortunately he found the tunnel. Going through the tunnel was the hardest part, it almost took his life as at some point he started bleeding and his head started to get sore. Fortunately at the end of the day, he went through the tunnel and it was all good for him.
3.Characters of main characters
Jerry is an eleven-year old boy. Who is so determined and doesn't like to give up. He is very childish and cries alot when ever he needs something. He was a very good swimmer and was on improving his swimming strategies. He was an orphan and had only his mother. He takes risks just to fullfil his goals.

Experience in creating blog
Its a very good experience but complicated.The complicated part was creating a gmail account.Following the steps was also a problem as there were alot of steps to follow.It took me alot of time to complete the url part as most of my choices were not available.Listening to the voice call was also a problem as the caller was not very clear.Its an educative experience as it helps to sharpen the listening skills.It taught me to follow instructions.It took me too much time to complete.Got stuck at filling in the verification letters for checking if i'm human.The overall experience is really good.
