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.
The conversation between Trevor's mother and the minibus driver showed how the enmity between the Zulu and Xhosa tribes was violent and full of cruel stereotypes.
We can answer this answer because:
- Trevor's mother was from the Xhosa tribe, while the minibus driver was from the Zulu tribe.
- These tribes were enemies and when the driver realized that Trevor's mother was from the Xhosa tribe, he started treating her very badly.
- He spoke many curses to Trevor's mother and accused her of being a promiscuous and immoral woman, as this was a stereotype of the women of the Xhosa tribe.
- Trevor's mother didn't take the curses and rebutted them with as much dignity as she could, but that wasn't enough to silence the driver.
Trevor claims that the Zulu and Xhosa trios were very different from each other, particularly in terms of their stances against the colonial elite. He claims that the Xhosa were positioning themselves politically and diplomatically, while the Zulu were positioning themselves in a combative and violent way.
