Walter's wife, known in the story as "Mrs. Mitty," treats Walter like an absent-minded child. She is overbearing, condescending, and critical towards Walter. But she is also Walter's link to the real world. While Walter is off in his own imagination, it is his wife or other people who bring him back to reality. This relationship of Walter's imagination (his escape from reality) and his wife's nagging (in efforts to bring him back to reality) is an uncertain "chicken and the egg" situation. We, readers, don't know if Walter's imagination is what caused his wife to become the practical, reality-based wife that she is or if Walter uses his imagination as an escape from his overbearing wife. Even if we knew which came first (Walter being absent-minded or his wife being condescending), it is just as likely that over the course of their marriage, Walter's and his wife's behaviors fed off of each other; and therefore, who started the whole cycle is somewhat irrelevant.
At the end of the story, when Mrs. Mitty returns from her appointment, Walter says, "Things close in." This is noted as a vague statement but could be interpreted to illustrate how Walter feels about the real world. He feels trapped and therefore resorts to fantasies in order to escape from that trapped feeling. One could sympathize with Mrs. Mitty, knowing that Walter is always absent-minded to the point of being careless. On the other hand, one could sympathize with Walter. Even when Walter tells her he was thinking, a valid excuse, she dismisses it as a fever:
"I was thinking," said Walter Mitty. "Does it ever occur to you that I am sometimes thinking?" She looked at him. "I'm going to take your temperature when I get you home," she said.

Answer:
It develops this theme by showing that when the writer's mom came to the United States, surviving was difficult but over the years she gained a lot of experience that made her become better.
Explanation:
The writer noted some difficult times in the life of her mother when they initially came to America, such as living in a small and dirty house. She persevered and worked hard to start her own dry cleaning business. Today, she has given her children the opportunity to acquire an education in America which would secure their future. She is also more experienced.
Just as a young inexperienced Himalayan climber finds the way up difficult, and surviving through the snowstorms and difficulties eventually gives him a beautiful view, so did the Korean mother start up her journey in America as a frail, naive, and determined person but eventually survived through the hard times to become an accomplished and experienced woman.
