How & why does Thurber use onomatopoeia - words that sound like what they mean?

English

e-lub [12.9K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

James Thurber uses many made-up words in "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," but only two or three seem to qualify as examples of onomatopoeia, which is the creation of words that imitate natural sounds.

Explanation:

The pocketa-pocketa-pocketa sound increases because Mitty is unconsciously pressing harder on the accelerator.

Who is the second person to impact holden's life in catcher in the rye
Dima020 [189]
The second-person “you,” likening the reader to a trusted confidant. The final line of the flashback portion of the novel is “God, I wish you could’ve been there,” suggesting Holden’s loneliness would have been relieved by having a friend like the reader with him during his experiences. The second-person address also draws attention to Holden’s unreliability as a narrator. Throughout the novel, Holden tries to convince the reader to interpret events one way while simultaneously presenting evidence that the opposite interpretation is correct. For example, he frequently insists how well he knows people – “The thing is, you didn’t know Stradlater. I knew him,” or “I know old Jane like a book.” However, his interactions with Stradlater, and his reluctance to contact Jane, suggest he is neither as intimate nor comfortable with them as he’d like the reader to believe. He also makes several references to how much he hates movies, and thinks his brother D.B. is a “prostitute” for writing for them, yet he mentions going to the movies several times. In these ways, Holden’s attempts to control the reader’s impression of him end up revealing who he really is.

need help on a essay on why is it important to get to know people before you form a opinion about them, can anyone help me on it
ycow [4]
It is SO important to get to know someone first before you form an opinion on them for multiple reasons.
One that is judging people and no one deserves to be judged.
Judging people defines who that person is not the person judging them.
Two, you might dismiss a great future friendship or relationship because of an initial judgment which you will always regret.
