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

English
1 answer:
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.
