The short story “The secret life of Walter Mitty” is about a man who is dreaming all day and he can’t manage his real life well. He should be more alert during day but he is dreaming all the time, so his wife gets angry in these situations but Walter doesn’t care and keeps dreaming. During this story, the author shows some examples of  expressionism and realism. Expressionism is mind concepts like flashback, dreams, pause of live time and etc. One of examples for expressionism is when he put his gloves in his car, he thought that he is a surgent and he suppose to do surgery for a millionaire banker. Realism is real life and the present tense. For example when Walter is talking to his wife, it’s realism. There will be continuation of this story below.

The firing squad was ready and waiting to hear the Walter’s order. The criminal had conjuror and he was waiting for his death with indescribable fear. Walter was enjoying to see his fear and he had a cruelly smile on his lips. “Guns ready…Firrrre” Walter shouted to the firing squad. He heard huge sounds of bullets and he felt a pain in his head. “why are you standing under rain? You can’t see this fast rain and sleets?” asked Ms. Mitty. “Go inside the car otherwise you will get cold.” Walter said. They were coming back to home and Walter was waiting for traffic light. On the mirror he saw an ambulance that was coming very fast and it was alerting to other cars to open the way. When the ambulance was passing the crossroads, Walter saw that doctors are doing something in the back of the ambulance. It seemed that there is an emergency case.

“Doctor do you think he’ll be alive till arriving to hospital?” Nurse James said. “I don’t know. It seems that his blood pressure and his heart beat are stable now. If he would stay till arriving to hospital, there will be more help there.” Said Doctor Mitty. “Damn it… his heart beat and his blood pressure are getting lower. What the hell is happening?” James said. “It should be a heart failure. We need to arrive to hospital as soon as possible. Tell the driver to drive faster.” Walter said. “we need more speed Frank. Drive faster.” James said. “I’m doing my best bro. There is a traffic light in front. I’m trying to pass it as well.” Frank said. “James come here. We need to do CPR. His heart beat stopped. If we don’t do it immediately, we will lose him. I will start it…”.
