"The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" presents episodic structure.

It's a short story about a soft-hearted man who accompanies his wife for shopping one afternoon. Walter Mitty is a very insecure and sloppy person, which generates a lot of anxiety in him. Unable to cope with the challenges of reality, he periodically drifts away into daydreaming. Throughout the story, we are presented with five fantastical episodes, intertwined with reality, in which we explore how his imagination runs wild.


Hope this helps!
