The book Open Window tells the story of saki the protagonist, which corresponds to a young girl
who has a very active imagination, is malicious and always seeks to get away with his own fortune,
takes advantage of various events and chance meetings with a hypochondriac in order to exercise
their narrative skills and create creative stories from this character.  

However, the man comes out of the rest home horrified thanks to the saki's use of technique in his
narrated story.

Saki’s narrative serves as a comedic rendition of the traditional ghost story. He uses Vera’s
tale to infuse the story with just the right amount of suspense and mystery while bringing
the reader along for the ride.Ultimately, the reader is duped along with Nuttel, as the tale
turns out to be a masterfully devised prank by an imaginative girl with far too much time
on her hands.

"The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" tells the story of the aging Walter Mitty on a trip into
town with his overbearing wife, Mrs. Mitty. Walter is inept at many things; he is an absent-
minded driver, he can't handle simple mechanical tasks, and he forgets things easily. What
makes Walter exceptional is his imagination.

While Walter goes through a day of ordinary tasks and errands, he


escapes into a series of romantic fantasies, each spurred on by some
mundane reality. As he drives his car, he imagines he is commanding "a
Navy hydroplane" through a terrible storm (1). When he rides past a
hospital, he imagines he is a world-famous surgeon saving a VIP's life.
When he hears a newsboy shouting about a trial, he imagines he is a
crack shot being interrogated in the courtroom. As he waits for his wife to
finish at the hairdresser's, Walter sees pictures of German plane and
imagines he is a British pilot willing to sacrifice his life for his country.
Lastly, as Mitty waits outside against a wall for his wife to buy something
in a drugstore, he fantasizes that he is a bold and brave man about to be
shot by a firing squad. The story ends with the inscrutable Walter Mitty
awaiting this romantic death.
In this story, the outlaw Silky Bob has come home to reunite with his friend Jimmy
Wells after 20 years. Their reunion is bittersweet, though, since Jimmy - now a patrolman
whom Bob unwittingly meets - sends a plainclothesman to arrest his old friend whom he
recognized as a fugitive.

A Brief Synopsis of 'After Twenty Years'


A twist ending is a sudden and unexpected turn of events in a story's conclusion. Before
M. Night Shyamalan, there was William Sydney Porter - better known as O. Henry - whose
legendary mastery of the twist ending in short stories is perhaps nowhere better
exemplified than in his 'After Twenty Years.'

'After Twenty Years' is a story of fewer than 1,300 words that opens with a policeman on
night patrol. It's nearly 10:00, and all's quiet as he walks his beat, checking locks for safety.
Suddenly, though, a figure standing in a doorway catches his attention, and he
approaches. The person speaks up and reassures the officer that he's not looking to cause
any trouble - just waiting on a friend with whom he'd made an appointment 20 years ago
to meet at that spot.

The man lights a cigar and tells the lawman about his friend, Jimmy Wells, who'd been
more like a brother to him when they were younger. He praises Jimmy's character and
assures the policeman that he'll keep their appointment for 10:00. As it's already quite
nearly ten, the officer asks if the man will wait any longer for Jimmy, and the patient friend
says he'll give him half an hour as the lawman continues his patrol.

About 20 minutes later, another man approaches and calls to the waiting friend by name -
Bob. As the two men greet each other heartily, Bob begins to recognize some unfamiliar
characteristics in his friend; namely, he seems taller than he remembered. He accepts his
friend's reply that he'd grown some in 20 years, until they come across the bright lights of
a drug store.

Here, Bob realizes that the man in front of him doesn't have the same nose as Jimmy, but
it's far too late for him to escape arrest from the plainclothesman posing as Jimmy. Before
taking him into custody, however, the officer hands Bob a note from Patrolman Wells
whom he'd unwittingly met earlier. In it, Jimmy admits he recognized Bob's face from a
Chicago police bulletin but didn't have the heart to bring him in himself when he had
indeed made it to their appointment on time without Bob's ever knowing.

An old man sits alongside a bridge, exhausted and covered in dust.


Many people are hurrying to cross the bridge with their families and
belongings, but he is too tired to proceed. They are villagers who are
fleeing from the fighting in the Spanish Civil War.
The narrator, a soldier for the Republican (left-wing) side, spots the old
man as he crosses the bridge to see if the enemy, the right-wing
Nationalists or Fascists, are advancing behind them. When the narrator
returns, most of the other evacuees are gone but the old man is still
sitting on the ground. The narrator engages with him, trying to rouse him
to keep moving toward safety. The old man says that he came from the
town of San Carlos, where he was taking care of animals. The narrator
wonders why the old man is telling him this until the man explains that he
didn’t want to desert his creatures, so he was the last person to leave his
village. He worries about the goats, pigeons, and cat that he has left
behind to die. Meanwhile, the narrator worries about the advancing forces
who will surely try to kill them both.
When the narrator urges the old man to try to walk until he can catch a
truck that could carry him away, the old man can only fall back down,
repeating, “I was taking care of animals.” The narrator concludes that he
cannot help the old man, and presumably leaves him to die there.
Relación entre los dos personajes:

The two characters that have similarities for me are Saki and Walter mity for the creative way they
have to make up stories.

In the short story "After Twenty Years," the author O. Henry creates an atmosphere of
mystery and uncertainty to set up the surprise ending. ... The author adds further to the
mystery by explaining that the man has a slight scar on his face and a scarfpin and watch
that suggest that he is very rich.

In general, I would support the notion that "The Secret Life of


Walter Mitty" is lighthearted and playful. It also tends to be
upbeat and hopeful. Those are all very positive-feeling moods,
and that is one reason why readers across all ages tend to like
this story.
The atmosphere of the story The Open Window is a little spooky because in the
beginning Vera tells Framton that her brothers and husband went missing at later, they
appear and which the first view of it would be them being ghosts, which leads to the house
being haunted.
The atmosphere of this story is strain and tension, taken out of the context, doesn't sound
as if it were part and parcel of the story. But the impression doesn't last long.
“The Old Man at the Bridge” by Ernest Hemingway is the tragedy of war. The author's
intention is to illustrate the way wars disrupt the lives of innocent people who are caught
up in the middle, but also the way it frustrates those who cannot do anything about it
