In the article, “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty”, by James Thurber, Walter Mitty’s daily life would be described as boring, yet, the dramatic and powerful scenarios in his mind made his life not that dull. Because of his constant zoning out and going into his little “world” in his mind, he tended to make many mistakes for not paying the greatest attention in daily life.
