First Impressions
1. Do you feel sorry for Walter Mitty? Why or why not?
I feel sorry for Walter Mitty. Because he was all the time imagine and fantasize, he felt sadness about the fact that his dream are the only way which his life holds meaning.
Moreover, I think his life puncturing his dream and making them crashing.
Second Thoughts
2. What differences do you see between the kind of person Mitty is in his fantasies and the kind of person he is in real life?
There are differences between the kind of person Mitty is in his fantasies and the kind of person he is in real life. For example, in the story Mitty becomes pilot, hero, good doctor and lawyer, in fact, he suffers from failure of his real life, he can not do anything what he wants to be.
In real life, he has little success because he always tries to be good challenger in his life, in addition his wife make him weak.
3. How would you characterize the way that Mitty's wife and other people in the story treat him?
I think that Mitty's wife and other people treated him so bad, they did not recpect him, and treated him as a child who did not know how to deal with other. For example. he was escaped from her wife's voice, it was so noisy.
4. Why do you think Mitty's fantasies are so important to him?
I think Mitty's fantasies are so important to him because this is the only way he can feel in his life in his self-confidence. In addition, he didn't have anything to feel strong and happy so he always daydreams.
5. Why do you think Mitty has the fantasy of the firing squad at the end?
Walter Mitty's daydreams are inspired by what is happening in his real life, for example, when he is driving his wife to appointment, he daydreams he is commanding a crew fling through damage storm. In addition, there are more example confirms that he thoght he is front of firing squad, I guess he will never stop his daydream because it becomes habit.
6. Are Mitty's daydreams a help or a hindrance to him, or both? Explain your opinion.
I think mitty's daydream are both help and hindrance to him, I mean he helped him to live in happy life, did whatever he want to do, like become a commander, doctor and so on. on the other hand, Mitty's daydream is hindrance because when he came back to real life he becomes depressed, could'nt do anything important.
Conflict
What internal conflict is revealed in the story? Which conflict- external or internal Do you think is more important in the story?
Internal conflict in the story is Walter Mitty and himself, he wants to be hero in any advanture, do somehting important in his simple life to be famous.
But external conflict between Mitty and his wife and other people, his wife is controlling at him and he is so weak to do anything.
I think the internal conflict is more important in the story, that because conflict starts from himself then move to other people to make external conflict.
