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

English
1 answer:
ikadub [295]3 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.

Discuss how trustworthy consumer ratings and reviews of product and services are. Companies use different tools: badges, contrib
scoray [572]

Answer:

 Reading customer ratings and reviews of products and services can be helpful sometimes, and help you choose which product or service to purchase when looking for the best quality. However, it can sometimes be misleading, and you should always check the profile of the reviewer, to see if they are new to the company, verified to be telling the truth, and see if their contribution level is good or bad. I believe that these tools do help increase credibility of reviews and ratings.

  Say you were looking at the reviews on a bag you've wanted to buy for some time. You also have a back up bag that you can buy that is cheaper. You see a bunch of reviews saying that the bag you really want rips/tears too easily, and is a little smaller than advertised. You check the verification on their profiles and see that they have been using those products for a few months now, and weren't satisfied with it. The back up bag you chose has better reviews and is said to be more durable. You check the verification on their profiles as well, and see that they are satisfied customers, and have been using those products for years.

 So, instead, you buy the cheaper bag. You are happy with your decision, and the bag lasts for almost four years, and never fails you. Thanks to the reviews and comments, you have decided to change your decision.

   Crowdsourcing can be a big help purchasing an item that is popular, or when you are looking for cheaper alternatives.

In at least 100 words, explain whose hidden agenda led Giles to be crushed to death with stones.
larisa86 [58]
In order to put pressure on Corey to give an answer, the courts tortured the man, placing large stones on his chest to force him to say something. Despite the horrific pain, Corey refuses to incriminate himself or any of his friends and neighbors, simply asking for "more weight" before he dies from the crushing burden of the stones. This leaves the community, and the Proctors in particular, with the impression that Corey was "a fearsome man." He is respected for his strength and courage in the face of the court's insane practices. Being a landowner in this time, was seen as having power. It was something sought after by many men and they would stop at nothing to get what they wanted. Putnam wanted more and more land and Corey Giles owned land.
I hope this helps!
