My guess is F because the words do indicate moments of time, and when an action took place. I don't know exactly what spatial order is, and it could plainly be a simple listing, but my best guess is on F.

Answer:

To Misread or to Rebel: A Woman’s Reading of “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty”

At its simplest, reading is “an activity that is guided by the text; this must be processed by the reader who is then, in turn, affected by what he has processed” (Iser 63). The text is the compass and map, the reader is the explorer. However, the explorer cannot disregard those unexpected boulders in the path which he or she encounters along the journey that are not written on the map. Likewise, the woman reader does not come to the text without outside influences. She comes with her experiences as a woman—a professional woman, a divorcée, a single mother. Her reading, then, is influenced by her experiences. So when she reads a piece of literature like “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” by James Thurber, which paints a highly negative picture of Mitty’s wife, the woman reader is forced to either misread the story and accept Mrs Mitty as a domineering, mothering wife, or rebel against that picture and become angry at the society which sees her that way.

Due to pre-existing sociosexual standards, women see characters, family structures, even societal structures from the bottom as an oppressed group rather than from a powerful position on the top, as men do. As Louise Rosenblatt states: a reader’s “tendency toward identification [with characters or events] will certainly be guided by our preoccupations at the time we read. Our problems and needs may lead us to focus on those characters and situations through which we may achieve the satisfactions, the balanced vision, or perhaps merely the unequivocal motives unattained in our own lives” (38). A woman reader who feels chained by her role as a housewife is more likely to identify with an individual who is oppressed or feels trapped than the reader’s executive husband is.

Mrs Mitty is a direct literary descendant of the first woman to be stereotyped as a nagging wife, Dame Van Winkle, the creation of the American writer, Washington Irving. Likewise, Walter Mitty is a reflection of his dreaming predecessor, Rip Van Winkle, who falls into a deep sleep for a hundred years and awakes to the relief of finding out that his nagging wife has died. Judith Fetterley explains in her book, The Resisting Reader, how such a portrayal of women forces a woman who reads “Rip Van Winkle” and other such stories “to find herself excluded from the experience of the story” so that she “cannot read the story without being assaulted by the negative images of women it presents” (10). The result, it seems, is for a woman reader of a story like “Rip Van Winkle” or “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” to either be excluded from the text, or accept the negative images of women in the story puts forth.  

It is certain that women misread “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.” I did. I found myself initially wishing that Mrs Mitty would just let Walter daydream in peace. But after reading the story again and paying attention to the portrayal of Mrs Mitty, I realized that it is imperative that women rebel against the texts that would oppress them. By misreading a text, the woman reader understands it in a way that is conventional and acceptable to the literary world. But in so doing, she is also distancing herself from the text, not fully embracing it or its meaning in her life. By rebelling against the text, the female reader not only has to understand the point of view of the author and the male audience, but she also has to formulate her own opinions and create a sort of dialogue between the text and herself. Rebelling against the text and the stereotypes encourages an active dialogue between the woman and the text which, in turn, guarantees an active and (most likely) angry reader response. I became a resisting reader.

You have a budget of 3000 euros for a family trip abroad. Your family has 4 members who want to go on this holiday. Draw up a pl
saul85 [17]

<u>Here is what I could come up with:</u>

Family of four from Germany, wants to go abroad to Michigan. They have 3000 euros which is equivalent to 3,297.07 US dollars. Currently round trip tickets to Michigan are around 380 euros, so times four would be 1,520 euros total, $1,670.51 . Once they were to get to Michigan they would need a vehicle to rent. The average price for a small SUV is $60 per day + extra fees. The average cost of gas is $2.75 per gallon, maybe $68.75 on gas . They would stay for a week. So, $420 average on the vehicle.

A good place to check out is the DIA. The DIA has an entry fee of $14,  $56 total. The DIA is full of beautiful art. A great spot to stay is Petoskey, it is further north and there are many sights to see. Assuming they would need a hotel for four, average price would be $120 per night, $840 for 7 days .

Money spent on food could range from $200 to $450 depending on how much is needed.

If they went to Petoskey they could visit Mackinaw to get some famous Mackinaw fudge. Average price for that could be from $10 to $30 depending on what is bought. There are also ferries in Mackinaw to Mackinaw Island. Mackinaw Island has horse back riding, carriage rides, lots of food, and amazing sights. It would be $23 per person for a round trip on the ferry to the island, $92 total. There are many scenic trails to use, I went to Bear River Valley Recreation Area it is was very fun. They could also go to the sleeping bear dunes to see Lake Michigan on the way back to the airport.

Total cost for the trip would be around $3,365.26 which is equal to 3,054.77 euros. I went a bit over the budget but there are always ways to shimmy down the price if they were to find deals online on the vehicle, hotel and food. But the sights to see and places to go are amazing. 3000 euros for a abroad trip is not a lot but it is do able.
