in one paragraph, compare and contrast how the other worlds in the secret life of walter mitty and the sound of thunder affect the real world for the characters.
In "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" by James Thurber and "A Sound of Thunder" by Ray Bradbury, the other worlds that the characters experience have contrasting effects on their real lives. In Walter Mitty's case, his vivid daydreams serve as a temporary escape from his mundane existence, providing him with excitement and adventure. These worlds allow him to be a heroic figure and conquer various challenges, boosting his confidence and self-esteem. However, the impact of Walter's other worlds is limited to his imagination, as they don't have a direct influence on his reality. On the other hand, in "A Sound of Thunder," the characters' visit to a different time period through time travel significantly alters the future. A small action in the prehistoric world creates a ripple effect that profoundly changes their world when they return. This highlights the delicate and treacherous nature of altering the natural course of events. While Walter's other worlds are like a refuge from reality, the other world in "A Sound of Thunder" deeply impacts the future, reminding us of the potential consequences of changing history.
