This style and turn of events continues throughout the story, creating readers suspense and interest to read some more. It is only later that we realize that actually this was just but a dream, but the actual events of the day was Walter Mitty and his wife journeying in a car and the subsequent of hospital surgery and the wife having her hair done (Thurber, 1968). The writer captures the readers interest by first introducing a scene where there seems to be a serious crisis with a probability of lives being lost.

The wife abruptly yells at his husband who is driving, “Not so fast, you are driving too fast.” It is then that we realize that Walter Mitty was actually day dreaming, and in the course started speeding the car. The scene abruptly changes from the events taking place in the Nay hydroplane to a new scene, where Walter Mitty and his wife are on a car driving.

The most interesting thing about this literary work is the sudden change of events.
