Modernism
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty by; James Thumber
The reason why I chose this story because I wanted to see what was the secret Walter holds. As a modern person everyone holds secrets, some not fancy and others to die for. Some if I were to find anything that would have to do with modernism, it couldn’t be any easier to read "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty."
In the story Walter Mitty is daydreaming he’s back in war while driving his wife to the hair store. Not only there but after he drops her off, he’s daydreaming again on his way to park the car, then going to pick up shoes and dog biscuit. He’s daydreaming even after picking up his wife and outside the drugstore she went to. Throughout the whole event he was daydreaming, but who doesn’t everyone daydreams a little if a lot everyday of their lives.
Like Mrs. Walter people are daydreaming all the time and it’s often things that people say, do, or see that makes this happen. In the beginning of this story Walter is daydreaming he’s on a ship:
Not so fast! You're driving too fast!" said Mrs. Mitty. "What are you driving so fast for?" "Hmm?" said Walter Mitty; this was when Walter was daydreaming the first time driving with his wife.
Every man uses daydreams to get away from the world or just his wife that’s in the world. It’s a nature thing people do, even when you try not to it’s like your mind even got a mind of it’s own. As for women, they use it for whatever means necessary. But anyway Mrs. Walter is daydreaming again after he drops off his wife, he drives by a hospital and that’s when things start to kick in:
"Back it up, Mac! Look out for that Buick!" Walter Mitty jammed on the brakes. "Wrong lane, Mac," said the parking-lot attendant, looking at Mitty closely. "Gee. Yeh," muttered Mitty; if you don’t pay intention daydreams can cause you to loss focus just as Walter did.
All that this proves is that Mrs. Walter is a modern person. People do not chose to daydream it just happen when things are on their mind. So if being a daydreamer is define as modernism, then Mrs. Walter is a modern person.
