Read the passage from "For More Wonder, Rewild the World." Isn’t it an amazing thought that every time you wander into a park or down an avenue or through a leafy street, you can see the shadows of these great beasts? Paleoecology, the study of past ecosystems, crucial to an understanding of our own, feels like a portal through which you may pass into an enchanted kingdom. And if we really are looking at areas of land of the sort of sizes I’ve been talking about becoming available, why not reintroduce some of our lost megafauna, or at least species closely related to those which have become extinct everywhere?

the main character of "the secret life of walter mitty" retreats into a false pretense as a means escape from his mundane reality -- this is a flagrant issue seen in societies abroad, typically found in young adults and it is robbing our youths of their childhood.

explanation:

a thesis -- a well developed, formal thesis is required to be one sentence long. there are many themes in "the secret life of walter mitty" and i had resolved to give you one of the simpler ones while still honing it with class.

if you don't mind posting the paragraph so i could read it that would a lot. (;
