Overwhelmed yet determined, Bertha bravely swims to save him, despite her initial fears and self-doubt. After overcoming this significant challenge, she feels a surge of elation, which awakens a desire within her to become more responsible and helpful around the house. The beginning sets a poignant tone, showcasing Bertha's emotional complexities and how her brave act catalyzes a transformation in her character, leading to a contemplation of her future in the face of impending changes within her family.
