Personal Freedom In The Indispensable Opposition By Walter...
Walter Lippman writes on his beliefs on the subject of personal freedom in the article "The Indispensable Opposition". The author draws from his
personal knowledge and observations of natural human interactions in order, to support the basis of his argument. He utilizes repetition of the word
freedom, an abrasive tone, and day to day natural occurrences in order to stimulate the reader into thinking about freedom overall and how it effects
themselves as a common human being. Lippmann also uses Voltaire's enlightenment ideas to provide a rebuttal to Lippmann's ideas which he
successfully argues in order to make his opinions seem more correct. All of these strategies help to convince the reader that freedom is taken for
granted and selfishly abused when another being displays an opinion that we don't agree with.
A useful tactic that Lippman uses throughout his article is repetition. The word that he mostly repeats is the word "freedom". He constantly reminds
the audience that there is "freedom of speech, freedom of opinion, freedom of discussion" "because freedom of discussion improves our own
opinions". He utilizes this specific strategy in order to create a prominent image of freedom within the reader and draw out the reader's personal
feelings on freedom and overarchingly connect the audience back to the central idea of the article. Lippman establishes his argument immediately,
which makes it seem simple and direct to the reader even though it is actually quite

Biography Of Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno And Max...
Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer were alltheorists of the Frankfurt School and they were the first to introduce the idea of the
"culture industry, the mass marketing of culture in the modern era. However, Walter Benjamin gives a different perspective on the role of culture in
modern society, he believed that the possibility of mechanical reproduction (photography) was demolishing the integrity of art in modern society . He
gives the example of the Mona Lisa painting by leonardo da vinci. The painting has a specific the existence and particular location but with mechanical
reproduction it can be copied multiple different times and occupy more than one place at a time. The question posed by Benjamin is what are we
missing... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
For Benjamin, the mechanical production of art "democratizes cultural production" Thus It loses its aura and authority as it becomes available to
everyone. We can extend this to an analysis of media today in which everyone can be an actor and everyone can be a producer; the difference between
high art and the popular culture are blurred. Therefore, from these two Frankfurt theorists we have a different view of the culture and the culture
industry. Benjamin focuses on the "democratization of culture" that is made available by the production of art while Adorno and Horkheimer argue the
ways in which art become more linked to commercial exploitation. It can be suggested through the readings of Adorno and Horkheimer 's work that
they seem to be eliciting the question of whether people believe everything that the culture tells them and trying to make sense of the distinct
differences between the messages of the culture industry and the public's realities thus creating an environment where autonomous independent
individuals, who are able to think for themselves, can form. Both theorists seem to be exploring how cultural meaning is generated and believe that the
structures which promote and deliver these messages of cultural influence is powerful. It is safe to say that we may be

Walter Mitty Reflection
In the movie The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, for me, it shows a very unique storyline that a film may have. Personally, I think that it was interesting to
watch this movie when one is about to feel down of himself. By watching this movie, I get inspiration and motivation to appreciate my life more of
whatever things that I had done before or everything that I may do in the future.
Why do I live on this Earth? Based on the motto of LIFE Magazine, I think that in every step that we take, there are pros and cons that we may face.

pathetic and many people laugh at him. Walter daydreams a lot in order to escape reality. In The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Walter works at Life
Magazine and goes on an adventure to find the missing picture that is going to be used for the cover of the next magazine. Walter starts off boring and
pathetic, but begins to make his daydreams his reality as his dreams become less of a fantasy. In the film, the setting takes place all over the world
including Iceland, Greenland, and Afghanistan. Although in the story, the setting takes place only in Waterbury, Connecticut. They both have
similarities and differences throughout the story. There are many similarities in both versions. One similarity is that Walter stands up for himself at
some point. In the short story Walter states, "'Does it ever occur to you that I am sometimes thinking?'"(Thurber 5). This shows Walter standing up to

The Prophetic Imagination, By Walter Brueggemann
A popular idea about Jesus throughout our society today, is that 'he was an admirable man who made unbelievable sacrifices for the betterment of the
world, but his actions would be unrealistic today'. Why would Jesus' actions be unrealistic today many might ask, and the answer would be people
think that the time has changed, and the world is so different now that it would be impossible to make the same decisions Jesus did. But is it any
different? Just because situations may be different, that does not mean that the results should be. Jesus acted out of love and compassion, which
shouldn't cause for change even over 2000 years. Walter Brueggemann in his book The Prophetic Imagination, talks about a "new history" that Jesus
inaugurates for all people, but especially for the ones who were marginalized (Brueggemann, 113). CJ Furness writes about how Jesus does offer a
practical argument of nonviolence even in today's world and today's circumstances in John Yoder's book What Would You Do? (Yoder, 55) Both of
these claims by Brueggemann and Furness have practical relevance to Jesus' recommendations, and prove that they should still be relevant today. In
The Prophetic Imagination, Brueggemann talks about the time of Jesus and what Jesus did for certain marginalized groups of his time. In those talks
he discusses the nature of Jesus' resurrection. On page 113 Brueggemann notes that the resurrection should not be remembered as a spiritual
development of the church, nor an oddity

Religion And Religion In Sir Walter Scott's Ivanhoe
Culture in of itself, is intrinsically complex. This is partly due to the multitude of factors that not only influence culture itself, but our perspective of
culture as well. Different cultures contain different elements that either stick or change over time. These elements can include festivals, historical
holidays, and even the way we interact with families, friends, and strangers. One unsurprising key that has the ability to intertwine with culture is
religion. Religion, in general, has the incredible ability to convict, control, and even free those who are under the reigns of sin to those who ponder
the philosophical theories and tenets of our existence. Religion becomes an important part of an individual's life and, over time, can begin this same
process in culture. One powerful example we can look at to demonstrate this is in Sir Walter Scott's "Ivanhoe." Set in Medieval England, this book
demonstrates the height of the Roman Catholic Church and the culture that revolved around it's control. The Roman Catholic Church's totality of
temporal and spiritual control had an astounding effect which Sir Walter Scott clearly demonstrates throughout his novel that shines light on the dark
underbelly of the Church from it's racism toward adherents of Judaism to the greed and hypocrisy of the monks and abbots who vowed to give
themselves up to God. Sir Walter Scott was not one to sugarcoat history even when revolved around a religious institution and is valiant to defending

and Queen Elisabeth, and how they always lie. During this time Sir Walter begin to personally believe that the repeated, and distribution of the lie
made the people like a bunch of Pinocchio. However, after many years of Sir Walter Raleigh helping to spread the lie he no longer wanted any part of
it. He instead began to warn the readers using his poetry about the inner workings of the government through each stanza. In the first stanza, the speaker
uses his soul to express his desire for the reader to know the truth. The next three stanzas are the speaker showing about what and how Parliament lies.
After that, the following eight stanzas are an exaggeration of the lie explaining that things like love, time, and wisdom are no longer. That because of
the lie, they get turned into things like lust, motion, and Entanglements. In the final stanza, the speaker appeals to the reader to not commit the lie, and
instead let their soul guide them because the speaker and Parliament did not. This poem's theme is warning about how absolute power corrupts people,
but faith and God cannot be corrupted. Government and corruption are as old as dust. This poem shows no matter the type of government, whether it is

and the speaker says their greedy people only doing favors for money. The fourth and fifth stanzas describe men of high status as greedy only
interested in advancing their own agenda. The next three stanzas have the speaker telling the soul about human qualities, such as love, age, beauty,
wisdom, and wit, of their wrongdoings. The next four stanzas are similar, and the speaker tells the soul to accuse charity, law, nature, justice, schools
and more about how they do nothing good for society. Then, after the speaker list all the people and virtues that need to improve, he tells the soul that
it may face opposition but should not worry since "no stab thy soul can kill" (Raleigh 78). The theme of this poem is that people can and should not
be afraid to change the way the corrupt social norms.

Throughout the story he does not seem to enjoy interacting with the other people of the town, especially his own wife. For example, near the end of

only person in the story that he has the courage to talk back to, and when he does it is still in very weak and unsure ways quite unlike the cock–sure
persona of his characters. When he interacts with the attendant he is quite nonconfrontational and almost avoids conflict, not saying more than

Post–Traumatic Stress Disorder caused by his experiences in WW1. His works are said to be the very first examples of completely abstract film,

In his first two Opus shorts he used the paint–on–glass technique employing oil paints in different streaks, curves, blobs and lines of various colors.
Unlike Richter's Rhythm 21, Opus I and II incorporate different colored shapes as well as tints and tones over the lens of the camera which have
been said to evoke a certain mood within the rhythmic movements. What we see is basically a dance of both these soft arbitrary forms moving
around the frame as well as (towards the end of I and moreso in II) other hard–edged triangular shapes that are not quite as organic. Moving through his
four films within the series we can see both a refinement of his technique in addition to new approaches that seem to have been influenced by
Constructivist perspectives. In Opus II he uses a technique known as kinestasis, which uses movement of the camera to make still figures appear to
have motion. By Opus IV all color has been removed, shapes have lost their organic quality and are only geometric (as they are in Richter's works)
and there is much less evocation of feeling. Instead he shows only the essential capacity of the camera as a device and uses only light, framing and

Walter Mitlter's Character Analysis
Walter Mitty is an average, middle–aged man living a dull life, and is married to a bossy wife. He does just about everything that Mrs. Mitty tells him
to do, except see Dr. Renshaw; and because of all this, Walter often daydreams about the more exciting lives that he could have possibly lived. These
daydreams become so elaborate that Walter is very easily distracted and does not communicate with other people very well.
Walter's boring life leads him to become highly imaginative, though he grows more anti–social at the same time. All of this does not help him create
bonds with anyone or feel as needed as he wants to be.
Walter's mundane life starts off with his wife telling him what he needs to do and go get. Mrs. Mitty tells him to: slow down when he drives faster
than forty kilometers per hour, to buy overshoes and puppy biscuits, and asks why he's not wearing his driving gloves that she got for him (implying
that Walter should put them on). Knowing his wife would only be so long at the hair dresser and that she wants him to get back... Show more content

Walter Mitty Reflection
In the movie The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, for me, it shows a very unique storyline that a film may have. Personally, I think that it was interesting to
watch this movie when one is about to feel down of himself. By watching this movie, I get inspiration and motivation to appreciate my life more of
whatever things that I had done before or everything that I may do in the future.
Why do I live on this Earth? Based on the motto of LIFE Magazine, I think that in every step that we take, there are pros and cons that we may face.

He very quickly became a favorite of the Queen and in the year 1587 he was knighted and appointed the captain of the Queen's Guards. Although,
this changed after Queen Elizabeth's discovery of Raleigh's marriage to one of her maids of honor, Elizabeth Throgmorton. Queen Elizabeth grew
very angry and jealous causing her to throw Raleigh into the Tower. Upon his release he attempted on an unsuccessful expedition to El Dorado to
the fabled Golden Land in effort to try and get back in Queen Elizabeth's favor. Sir Walter Raleigh played a very minor role in the defeat of the
Spanish Armada in the year of 1588. He formed the Devon militia and was a member of Elizabeth's War Council but did not take part in the naval
battle. As he returned to court, he made an enemy with Queen Elizabeth's new favorite, Robert Devereux. Raleigh then left for Ireland, where he
there cultivated his estates and developed the friendship with poet Edmund Spenser, who he later introduced to Queen Elizabeth in the year of 1590.
Raleigh was forbidden access to the court so he devoted all his time studying and speculating about the universe and nature. He also helped Hakluyt

Her co–anchor Henry Reasoner very obviously patronized her on air. Many critics were skeptical about Walters' journalist abilities and believed ABC
News' hiring of her was just a publicity stunt to feed off of her fame. Gilda
Radner's parody of her on Saturday Night Live hurt her credibility even more. Within two years,
ABC's ratings turned disastrous and they had to let Walters go.
Barbara then went on to being a part–time correspondent for the ABC news show, 20/20 where she was able to get an exclusive interview with former
President Richard Nixon in 1980.
This had been his first television appearance since his resignation six years prior. Her and her former Today show partner co–hosted 20/20 in 1984.
Her twelve–million–dollar salary was recorded as the highest paid salary of any news host in history.
At 73 years old, Barbara Walters stepped down as 20/20 co–host. She has brought a new meaning to the art of "personality journalism" and "being the
first" interviews. She is sometimes looked down on by people for displaying personal emotions because they believe it is only to pump ratings.

Walter Mitty: A Psychological Condition
Walter Mitty, is an interesting character, who happens to live a very mundane life, but posses an imaginative brain. In the story, Walter Mitty spends
most of his time daydreaming, as a strategy of ignoring or escaping his day–to–day duties. Walter Mitty is suffering a psychological condition known
as Maladaptive daydreaming, and that he is not just a normal dreamer. Maladaptive daydreaming is a psychological condition, that, according to
Aaron Kandola, " Causes intense daydreaming that distracts a person from their real life" (2). These are some reasons why. First of all, throughout
the story, Walter Mitty has exceedingly vivid dreams, which involve different characters, and contains elements that greatly resemble that of a novel.
This trait has been credited a symptom of Maladaptive dreaming by many of those who wrote of the condition (1)(2)(4). One may say that he is just a
normal, but imaginative dreamer, but daydreaming in this way, in excess, is very abnormal indeed. The daydreams which Walter Mitty goes through
are also reasonably realistic, such as fighting in a war, and curing a patient, which make it all the more strange (3). Walter Mitty is not a normal dreamer.

gained a great deal of treasure for the Queen. In 1584, Sir Walter Raleigh organized colonizing expeditions to America. These expeditions ended
tragically as "The Lost Colony of Roanoke". Contrary to popular belief, Raleigh was such a favorite of the Queen that she refused to permit him to

Critique Analysis Of Sir Walter Scott

Sir Walter Scott was a very successful writer during the beginning of the 19th century. Born and raised in Scotland, many say that Sir Walter Scott had a
very significant impact on the culture of Scotland. From writing about daring knights to making kilts fashionable attire, Scott was a cultural icon at the
time. But how much influence did Scott truly have on the cultural influence of Scotland? Scott was the most culturally significant author, for Scotland,
in the 19th century.
The early life of Sir Walter Scott was riddled with tragedy and struggle. The Scotts resided in the Old District ofEdinburgh. Out of the twelve children
in the Scott family, only five survived their early youth. The hardest part of Walter Scott's childhood was when he was struck with polio which crippled
his right leg. These terrible events may have been brought about by the poor conditions in the city. To protect their crippled son, the Scotts sent Walter
away to live with his paternal grandfather in the countryside. During his time in the countryside Sir Walter Scott reveled in ancient Scottish folklore
told by his grandfather. He took great interest in Scottish history and culture. "Here, in the country air, he became a sturdy boy, and his mind was

An Analysis Of Walter Lippman's Quote
With regards to Walter Lippman's quote in 1922, it is fair to dispute that 'News is just someone's version of events'. Due to the changing society over
the past years since the quote and the increased number of factors to consider, it raises the question of how precise, accurate and relevant this
quotation is in the present day. However, some factors must be considered when debating the credibility of the quotation: 'news is just someone's
version of events,' as it can be affected by a number of reasons. These can include factually based stories, changing market conditions, partisan and
'churnalism'; more specifically– 'flat earth' stories. Therefore, when considering these factors affecting news stories, it is can be argued that news isn't
'someone's version of events', because the article is either purely fact and leaves no room for opinion, or the version of events or news story has been
manipulated due to changing market conditions or 'churnalism'. However, when a news story is initially sought, it is also believed that a reporter
should find a story and that the news story is true and a chronological order of the events in which the reporter witnessed at the time, furthermore
supporting the quotation. On top of this, when biased media organisations include their opinion or political stance, this can also be argued that it is
'their 'version of events.' In the first instance, the quote can still be regarded as accurate and true when taking The Editors' Code into

At the film's start, Mitty's daydreams were extreme and obviously a fantasy, as they explored entirely different movie genres, such as a Latin

Mitty's epic adventure begins, these daydreams begin to make sense and they are no longer silly fantasies. This man's realities keep you on the edge
of your seat, for he makes choices that not every person would. As a viewer, that is something admirable to take from this inspirational film. The Secret
Life of Walter Mitty is an amazing movie. The plot evenly spreads hints of comedy, as well as heartwarming moments that stick with you. The

Personal Freedom In The Indispensable Opposition By Walter...

  • 1. Personal Freedom In The Indispensable Opposition By Walter... Walter Lippman writes on his beliefs on the subject of personal freedom in the article "The Indispensable Opposition". The author draws from his personal knowledge and observations of natural human interactions in order, to support the basis of his argument. He utilizes repetition of the word freedom, an abrasive tone, and day to day natural occurrences in order to stimulate the reader into thinking about freedom overall and how it effects themselves as a common human being. Lippmann also uses Voltaire's enlightenment ideas to provide a rebuttal to Lippmann's ideas which he successfully argues in order to make his opinions seem more correct. All of these strategies help to convince the reader that freedom is taken for granted and selfishly abused when another being displays an opinion that we don't agree with. A useful tactic that Lippman uses throughout his article is repetition. The word that he mostly repeats is the word "freedom". He constantly reminds the audience that there is "freedom of speech, freedom of opinion, freedom of discussion" "because freedom of discussion improves our own opinions". He utilizes this specific strategy in order to create a prominent image of freedom within the reader and draw out the reader's personal feelings on freedom and overarchingly connect the audience back to the central idea of the article. Lippman establishes his argument immediately, which makes it seem simple and direct to the reader even though it is actually quite ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 2. Biography Of Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno And Max... Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer were alltheorists of the Frankfurt School and they were the first to introduce the idea of the "culture industry, the mass marketing of culture in the modern era. However, Walter Benjamin gives a different perspective on the role of culture in modern society, he believed that the possibility of mechanical reproduction (photography) was demolishing the integrity of art in modern society . He gives the example of the Mona Lisa painting by leonardo da vinci. The painting has a specific the existence and particular location but with mechanical reproduction it can be copied multiple different times and occupy more than one place at a time. The question posed by Benjamin is what are we missing... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... For Benjamin, the mechanical production of art "democratizes cultural production" Thus It loses its aura and authority as it becomes available to everyone. We can extend this to an analysis of media today in which everyone can be an actor and everyone can be a producer; the difference between high art and the popular culture are blurred. Therefore, from these two Frankfurt theorists we have a different view of the culture and the culture industry. Benjamin focuses on the "democratization of culture" that is made available by the production of art while Adorno and Horkheimer argue the ways in which art become more linked to commercial exploitation. It can be suggested through the readings of Adorno and Horkheimer 's work that they seem to be eliciting the question of whether people believe everything that the culture tells them and trying to make sense of the distinct differences between the messages of the culture industry and the public's realities thus creating an environment where autonomous independent individuals, who are able to think for themselves, can form. Both theorists seem to be exploring how cultural meaning is generated and believe that the structures which promote and deliver these messages of cultural influence is powerful. It is safe to say that we may be ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 3. Walter Mitty Reflection In the movie The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, for me, it shows a very unique storyline that a film may have. Personally, I think that it was interesting to watch this movie when one is about to feel down of himself. By watching this movie, I get inspiration and motivation to appreciate my life more of whatever things that I had done before or everything that I may do in the future. Why do I live on this Earth? Based on the motto of LIFE Magazine, I think that in every step that we take, there are pros and cons that we may face. "To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw close, to find each other, and to feel that is the purpose of life."– What I think about this phrase is we need to be brave to try new things ...

  • 4. Walter Mitty Comparison Has daydreaming even taken over your life? In "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" by James Thurber, is about a man, Walter Mitty, who is kind of pathetic and many people laugh at him. Walter daydreams a lot in order to escape reality. In The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Walter works at Life Magazine and goes on an adventure to find the missing picture that is going to be used for the cover of the next magazine. Walter starts off boring and pathetic, but begins to make his daydreams his reality as his dreams become less of a fantasy. In the film, the setting takes place all over the world including Iceland, Greenland, and Afghanistan. Although in the story, the setting takes place only in Waterbury, Connecticut. They both have similarities and differences throughout the story. There are many similarities in both versions. One similarity is that Walter stands up for himself at some point. In the short story Walter states, "'Does it ever occur to you that I am sometimes thinking?'"(Thurber 5). This shows Walter standing up to his wife Mrs.Mitty. In the film, Walter stands up, this time to his boss when he gets fired from his job. Walter is fired for losing the picture that was going to be on the next magazine. Walter states that he...

In the film, Walter has a love interest and most of his daydreams are about the girl he likes, Cheryl. One of Walter's daydreams includes a statue that he made for Cheryl of the two of them together. This shows how Walter feels about Cheryl. Yet, in the short story, Walter already has a wife. James Thurber writes, "...Mrs. Mitty...he looked at his wife..."(Thurber 1). This shows the difference in Walter's romance. This affects the dreams Walter has during the story. The daydreams are different in each version, which causes Walter's thoughts to also be different.

  • 6. The Prophetic Imagination, By Walter Brueggemann A popular idea about Jesus throughout our society today, is that 'he was an admirable man who made unbelievable sacrifices for the betterment of the world, but his actions would be unrealistic today'. Why would Jesus' actions be unrealistic today many might ask, and the answer would be people think that the time has changed, and the world is so different now that it would be impossible to make the same decisions Jesus did. But is it any different? Just because situations may be different, that does not mean that the results should be. Jesus acted out of love and compassion, which shouldn't cause for change even over 2000 years. Walter Brueggemann in his book The Prophetic Imagination, talks about a "new history" that Jesus inaugurates for all people, but especially for the ones who were marginalized (Brueggemann, 113). CJ Furness writes about how Jesus does offer a practical argument of nonviolence even in today's world and today's circumstances in John Yoder's book What Would You Do? (Yoder, 55) Both of these claims by Brueggemann and Furness have practical relevance to Jesus' recommendations, and prove that they should still be relevant today. In The Prophetic Imagination, Brueggemann talks about the time of Jesus and what Jesus did for certain marginalized groups of his time. In those talks he discusses the nature of Jesus' resurrection. On page 113 Brueggemann notes that the resurrection should not be remembered as a spiritual development of the church, nor an oddity ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 8. Walter Mitty Comparison The secret life of Walter Mitty written in 1939 by James Thuber and the film adaption the secret life of Walter Mitty directed by Norman Mclean, is a story that both center on a man ''Walter Mitty,'' a man who constantly daydreams to escape the harsh reality he lives in. While both the movie and short story focus on Walter himself, they both portray different aspects of the conflict, setting, and the characters in general. One similarity between the conflict both in the short story and the film, is that they portray Walter as a shy and unconfident man. Even though Walter is different in the story and the movie, confidence is what appears to be Walter's weakness.

  • 9. Religion And Religion In Sir Walter Scott's Ivanhoe Culture in of itself, is intrinsically complex. This is partly due to the multitude of factors that not only influence culture itself, but our perspective of culture as well. Different cultures contain different elements that either stick or change over time. These elements can include festivals, historical holidays, and even the way we interact with families, friends, and strangers. One unsurprising key that has the ability to intertwine with culture is religion. Religion, in general, has the incredible ability to convict, control, and even free those who are under the reigns of sin to those who ponder the philosophical theories and tenets of our existence. Religion becomes an important part of an individual's life and, over time, can begin this same process in culture. One powerful example we can look at to demonstrate this is in Sir Walter Scott's "Ivanhoe." Set in Medieval England, this book demonstrates the height of the Roman Catholic Church and the culture that revolved around it's control. The Roman Catholic Church's totality of temporal and spiritual control had an astounding effect which Sir Walter Scott clearly demonstrates throughout his novel that shines light on the dark underbelly of the Church from it's racism toward adherents of Judaism to the greed and hypocrisy of the monks and abbots who vowed to give themselves up to God. Sir Walter Scott was not one to sugarcoat history even when revolved around a religious institution and is valiant to defending and ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

(Walter Payton Charity Work). Every year, Walter Payton dressed up like Santa Claus and gave presents to unlucky kids. This shows his kindness because it is how he does it.

The speaker states that the soul has the truth as its warrant, which gives the soul no reason to fear telling authorities or those with power. The second stanza starts with the speaker telling the soul to accuse the church and the court of their wrongdoings. In the third stanza, he tells the soul what to say about the potentates, and the speaker says their greedy people only doing favors for money.

Walter Mitty Walter Mitty is a renowned surgeon, grizzled army sergeant, and deadly assassin that, in his words, could kill a man with any known make of gun from three hundred feet out with his left hand. He commands respect wherever he goes. The only catch is that this is all in his head. Walter Mitty is abnormally average and lackluster, but his daydreams transform the world around him into exciting scenes straight from a blockbuster movie. Walter views his own wife as a distraction from his beloved daydreams, and he has disdain for all of the other equally average people around him in his daily life.

Throughout the story he does not seem to enjoy interacting with the other people of the town, especially his own wife. For example, near the end of the story his wife says she will be gone a minute, an obvious figure of speech, and Mitty chastises her for being more than a minute. His wife is the only person in the story that he has the courage to talk back to, and when he does it is still in very weak and unsure ways quite unlike the cock–sure persona of his characters. When he interacts with the attendant he is quite nonconfrontational and almost avoids conflict, not saying more than muttering "Gee," Or "Oh." However, once he walks away the story says, "They're so damn cock, thought Walter Mitty, walking along Main Street; they think they know everything." He then describes a time that he tried to take his chains off and managed to get them wound up around the axles, and a grinning garageman had to help him. To any other person this would probably seem like a kind act, something to be thankful for. Not Mitty. He thinks about wearing his arm in a sling the next time so that in order to make them think he didn't cause the blunder himself, thinking that that will take the grin off the garageman's face.

Unlike Richter he began as a student of architecture and graphic design, which shaped his identity as an experimental filmmaker and accounts for the prominence of shapes and lines within his films. He began his career as filmmaker directly after his release from a hospital in Berlin for treatment of Post–Traumatic Stress Disorder caused by his experiences in WW1.

In his first two Opus shorts he used the paint–on–glass technique employing oil paints in different streaks, curves, blobs and lines of various colors. Unlike Richter's Rhythm 21, Opus I and II incorporate different colored shapes as well as tints and tones over the lens of the camera which have been said to evoke a certain mood within the rhythmic movements. What we see is basically a dance of both these soft arbitrary forms moving around the frame as well as (towards the end of I and moreso in II) other hard–edged triangular shapes that are not quite as organic. Moving through his four films within the series we can see both a refinement of his technique in addition to new approaches that seem to have been influenced by Constructivist perspectives. In Opus II he uses a technique known as kinestasis, which uses movement of the camera to make still figures appear to have motion. By Opus IV all color has been removed, shapes have lost their organic quality and are only geometric (as they are in Richter's works) and there is much less evocation of feeling.
