"Fantasy is hardly an escape from reality. It's a way of understanding it."
- Lloyd Alexander
Today we're reading the short story, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" and watching the film as well. There are a lot of differences - and a few similarities. Once we read the short story, please do these questions!
- What kind of relationship does Walter Mitty have with his wife?
- What do you think Walter Mitty wants in life? Does he get this in his fantasies?
- How do Walter Mitty's fantasies make him feel? Why do you think people need these emotions?
- Is Walter Mitty avoiding something in reality with his fantasies?
- Is Walter Mitty insane or sane? Explain!
- Walter often lives in his fantasies - is this unhealthy? Healthy?
