Walter Mitty Story written for exam
I at down slowly in the dark grey seat as the bell rang, signaling that first period had begun, I began to hate Monday when everyone was moving sooo sloooowley….. If I was boss I would destroy Mondays, wipe them up afterword, then nuke ‘em….
My eyes fluttered open, “Mi lord King Jules…. Vhat is Yourd Firdst decrdee?” The heavily accented man asked in his Funny way. My head shot up, he nodded respectfully, “I decree in my royal way, that Mondays should be destroyed for 1 millennium.” I shouted to the Law makers who, wrote down my words, I arose from my solid platinum, heavily cushioned throne, and walked down to sign the papers for the decrees, when the heavily accented man pulled out a large sword, “For freedom!” He yelled, as I was stabbed through the heart,
I jerked awake, “How could you Chancellor Burstein!” I said groggily. Standing up, Mr. Edgeworth smiled a tight lipped smile, “Mr. Monty, please do the question on the board…” I answered of course incorrectly. “Mr. Monty please stay after class…” As soon as his back was turned I fell in to another daydream… I jumped from the chandelier, Landing on the air mattress, I stood up to be thrust at a group of medical practitioners, who checked my body, for the slightest scratch, As I prepared for the next jump, the director came to me and said “Jules dude wake up!” he kept repeating that I shrugged not any odder than when he deep fried a chiwawa. I stood on the cliff and jumped, plummeting to the earth, the air bag was missing! I felt a sharp pain too my head….
My best friend Dimes (his real name is Dominic) poked me “Jules dude class is over!” We walked slowly to gym then we were sent outside, by Mrs. Glorybee, to run till the bell rang I just walked as my mind drifted…
“Doctor! The patient needs sutures, his bleeding has escalated, His heart rates up!” the nurse told me, I ran to the mangled body lying on the stretcher, he reached his hand to my forearm, “I believe in you Jules.” I realized it was Dimes!

    Any movie based upon a piece of literature can make or break its source of inspiration. Some movies do no mercy toward the book, while some exceed the quality of the novel. The movie, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, directed by Norman Mc Lean, was a much better piece of work than the short story, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," written by James Thuber, because the video had a satisfying conclusion, more action, and a much more developed and advanced plot.…

    In the book “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” by James Herbert, Walter Mitty daydreams all the time. He daydreams while driving, eating, and if he’s working he is probably day dreaming. I would have dinner with him because I can talk all I want, I can space out when I want and he won’t care. Also when I’m done eating I can leave him the bill and he has to pay. Those are some of the reasons I would like to have dinner with Walter Mitty.…

    When feeling hopeless, one may lose sight of their traditional values and chase flawed or unrealistic dreams. In the play, A Raisin in the Sun, author Lorraine Hansberry, uses character Walter Lee Younger to demonstrate a misguided, materialistic alteration of the traditional American Dream. Walter Lee, in a misguided vision of money as the answer to all of life’s tests, forgets traditional family values and instead chases only materialistic aspirations. This harms and ultimately separates his family. His materialistic pursuit stems from the guilt he feels in his inability to support his family, his awareness of and yearning for American opportunity and his misconceived notion of what it means to be a man.…

    I tried to open my eyes but all I could see was darkness. All around me darkness sits, still and quiet. I heard a creak, then a minuscule and weak voice talked, “Sydney, are you alright?” “Mmm” was all I could get out of my weak and tired body. Then the voice talked to me again, “Sydney, this is Dad speaking. The doctor just told me that the impact of you hitting the seat in front of you was very hard, it blinded you for life.” Darkness grabbed me, never letting me be perky and happy again…

    Ben Stiller's, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty", is the story of a peculiarly mature, high ranking cubicle dweller named Walter Mitty (portrayed by Ben Stiller) working in the photography department of Life magazine. In the beginning of the film, it is made clear that Mitty has issues 'zoning out' and becoming completely oblivious of his surroundings for short periods of time. When Walter is zoning out, he daydreams about absolutely absurd and unrealistic situations where he is more than the typical office worker, and is almost comic style superhero status. Although Mitty has had and dealt with these inattentive behavioral issues for an extensive amount of his life, he begins to start catching more flak at work for these problems as he is caught daydreaming about saving his new work crush, Cheryl Melhoff (potrayed by Kristen Wiig), by his new bosses.…

    In the film, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, our protagonist learns various life lessons throughout his journey: his journey of finding negative twenty-five for the last issue of Life magazine. A life lesson that stood out and changed Walter the most was, “stop dreaming and start living.” This is the life lesson that stood out the most because it really dictates what the movie is about. For me, the lesson I got from the movie was to be courageous and to live in the now. Also, this is the lesson that changes our protagonist, Walter, significantly. This life lesson occurs later into the movie, it occurs in the climax and falling action parts of the move. Specifically, two moments when Walter experiences this life lesson are when he goes into the helicopter with the drunk pilot and when he…

    I wake up in an unfamiliar room, I think that it is a hospital, and I hear millions of noises and murmurs around me. I hear beeps and screams, and I see a lobby full of people. I see a nurse walking toward me, but I cannot make out what she is saying. The nurse starts to take some of the wires and tubes off of me, and then she rolls my bed and I into the hallway. A few other doctors and nurses join her along my bedside, and they all wheel me into an operating room. I see a dry erase board to the left of me and it says “Procedure: Bullet Removal”.…

    My hospital bed was ice cold and the bleak and empty white walls depressed me as the uncomforting thought that I would have to stay here for maybe another week brought tears to my eyes. The usual and oppressive smell of disinfectant lingered in the room as I recalled that night in my head, trying to convince myself it wasn’t my fault, as I had done everyday since the accident. It was the day everything changed and my life was turned upside down. Forever.…

    There were several connections that I drew between the story and the outside world. The first part of the story that I was able to connect to my life was when Walter’s mother was upset with his bad grades in arithmetic (Chapter 4). The text states, “Frank, a graduate from a black college and a commercial artist, volunteered to help me with arithmetic, in which I had received my lowest mark.” This quote really connects to my personal and academic life because math is also my weakest subject, and if I bring home a bad grade, my mom also gets upset. At this point in the story, Walter blames his teacher for the bad marks he received, and this shows an external conflict because Walter had trouble with another person. Before this part of the story took place,…

    The drawn out elevator ride was almost over. Only eighteen more floors to go and it would be time for him to sit down and rest his body. Suddenly, as the elevator hit the 50th floor, there was a large “boom” and the elevator began to bang violently from side to side. One of the men reached over and pressed the emergency button. As they all sat frustrated and worried waiting for a response, they became incredibly antsy. After what seemed like an agonizing amount of time, the operator informed them frantically that the building was under attack, and the loud “boom” they heard was a plane crashing into the building. The mood of the elevator drastically transformed from frustration to pure fear.…

    It is said by many that on Monday’s, it is the hardest day of the week. After two days of resting, Saturdays and Sundays, many dislike, Monday mornings, most often when they have to get up early to go to work for eight hours and or more. School!!
