svetlana [45]

The piercing sound of the alarm clock brought me back from the dead of sleep. I started to wriggle and stretch within my cosy, warm, haven that is my bed. As parts of my body were gradually turning on, I realised today was the last day of school. I leaned over at the bulky black clock. I was already ten minutes late.

As I flopped across my bed, I glanced at the mirror behind the door. What I saw shocked me beyond what I had ever felt before. As I stared at the mirror, I couldn’t believe my eyes. There was nothing on the bed! I was sitting right there, yet I couldn’t see myself in the mirror. How could this be! I thought to myself. There’s no way people can just disappear. I looked again. There was my indentation on the bed, but there was nothing above where I was supposed to be and in that moment I realized that I was invisible. Overwhelmed with fear, I sat still for minutes, unable to comprehend the situation. It was just impossible. Suddenly, my mind was flooded with thoughts and ideas. The variety of things I could do without being seen. It was a scary yet exciting feeling. My attempts to reach out to my family resulted in nothing but failure. Just as I thought being invisible was bad, the fact that I could not be heard was even worse. A wave of sadness hit like a truck. I tried everything in my power to leave my family a message. I was left with nothing but disappointment.

I was considered missing after that exact day. Eventually, days turned into weeks and weeks into months. Nothing had changed. Family and friends mourned as though I had passed away. Never seen again and I still wonder about that peculiar day.

( yeah this kinda sucks :"(( but I tried, feel free to improve it as much to your liking. I pretty much lack ideas and creativity. Ps. I'm not sure how short this was supposed to be :")) Hope this kinda helped x )

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.

Write a diary entry for the following:
Delvig [45]
Dear Diary,

It’s March 29th, and the time is 8:11. As I woke up, my first thought was (name). We had an argument over coffee. It’s embarrassing to think about. Something that small made us get at each other’s throats. It’s been a few days, maybe even a week and we still have spoken to one another! Over coffee! Know you may be wondering what I’m talking about: First we meet at our favorite coffee shop, we find a cute little spot and sit. Next, I tell her I’ll try and order what she usually drinks. So, I come back and give her her coffee. Not even 5 minutes go by and she asks why her coffee tastes different. I tell her what I ordered: Black coffee with milk and sugar. Then she yells at me saying she’s lactose intolerant! How was I supposed to know! I mean sure, it’s my fault she had a bit of diarrhea, but she could’ve told me beforehand. Anyway, I’ve felt bad ever since and I don’t know how to make it up to her. I feel horrible.
