there is a meaningful message inside the story. Walter Mitty is an employee in a magazine
publisher named LIFE. He is a daydreamer, oftenly he fall in his imagination about

photographer, Sean live nomaden and even doesnt has phone, he treat Walter as his best
partner.

Walter always finish his job excellently until one day LIFE Magazine will transform
into online based magazine and will publish the last printed edition with Seans photo as its
cover. Sean send the photo roll together with wallet as a gift for Walter for his best work all
the time. On the wallet written the motto of LIFE Magazine, it says To see the world,
things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other, and to
feel. That is the purpose of life. Sean said that he want the 25th photo that will set as the
cover, but when Walter check the negatives, the 25th not in its place. Then he start drawn in
panic because it very important, it is about the cover! So he decide to meet Sean (both of
them never met before). He start to figure out where is Sean, he try to connect the other
