The Secret Life of Walter Mitty __ by James Thurbur

           This story is quite interesting and pleasant to read. When i read for the first time, i was seriously confused with the storylines. It takes several times for me to read and understand the whole story. But with the help of (youtube) which display a video about the story, its make me easier to comprehend the story. The story begins when Walter Mitty imagines himself as the Commander of a Navy hydroplane, who is very domineering and expert about the hydroplane. He summoned his crews to increase the power light. But actually in real life, he is driving his car taking his wife  to the hairdresser in the town. He is driving too fast as told by his wife. When he past through a hospital, he imagines to be a surgeon, saving the millionaire banker, Wellington  Macmillan's life. Other than that, he imagines that he is in the court and admitted as a man that able to shoot someone from far by his left hand. He was actually trying to remind back what he should buy as told by his wife before. He started to conscious when a girl said to him "puppy biscuits". When he waited outside for his wife at the drugstore, he imagines to be a brave man that willing to sacrifice himself by faced the firing squad. 


            Walter Mitty is just an ordinary person that wants to be an extraordinary man. He wants to be a perfect person in real life. So, that why he imagines to be a Commander,surgeon and others. He is also forgetful and can't do simple tasks. He forget what he needs to buy as told by his wife.  He is not a great driver and lead people to yell and mad at him for his mistakes. He wants to be respectful by other people around him. This shows that he hate with his life and intends to be different. Mrs Mitty is a bossy woman who only knows to summon other people do things for her interest and scold Mr Mitty for doing something wrong.
