Literary SelectionThe Kayak -- A Brief
Summaryby Debbie Spring
16-year-old Teresa is out kayaking to get away
from her overprotective parents. The waters get
rough and she comes across an 18-year-old surfer
boy (Jamie) who is obviously in peril. They have
a few close calls on the water, but Teresa helps
Jamie get back to shore. Once on shore, the
reader learns that Teresa is paraplegic. She
loves kayaking because thats where she is free.
On land, however, she feels helpless. Jamie
asks Teresa out. Initially, she refuses because
she thinks that Jamie just feels sorry for her.
In the end, she tearfully agrees to go out with
him. ?
