What is the structure of the short story the secret life of Walter Mitty

English
1 answer:
ikadub [295]4 years ago
8 0

This story vascillates between the everyday humdrum life of Water Mitty, the hen-pecked husband sterotype, and the extravagant adventures he lives in his daydreams. Mitty flits in and out of reality, his daydreams concocted by a stream of consciousness association triggered by the sputtering of his car's exhaust pipe, a pair of gloves, and finally a freshly lit cigarette. In such a way this docile "hubby" gets to be the captain of an icebreaker, a famous surgeon, a defendent in a murder trial and finally a fighter pilot taken captive distaining a firing squad. Mitty's imagination is his "second life," which nurtures his deflated ego and helps hims escape the insufferable mediocrity of his existence.

If you do a graph of the plot line of this story, it would look very much like a cardiograph printout, with the steady horizontal line of Mitty's real life intermittantly broken by the highs and lows of his "virtual" existence.

Elena L [17]

The correct method of documenting a source using MLA format is "This technology was first introduced back in the seventies (Hamilton 83)," option B.

<h3>How to document a source in MLA style?</h3>

First, we must pay attention to whether or not the citation already contains the name of the author. If it does, there is no need to place the name in parentheses. Thus, we can eliminate options A and C.

Second, we must see if the page number is mentioned in parentheses. It should be placed after the author's name, without a comma separating them. Thus, we can eliminate option D.
