I need literary devices from "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty."

I believe that this question is asking for literary devices. You could pick any sentence in the story, and it would apply to diction. Diction refers to an author's word choice. Diction is important because it creates mood and tone in addition to carrying the right kind of information to readers.
Dialogue is also used in this story. What is great about the dialogue in the story is that it is spoken by "real" people as well as "fake" people. Walter and his wife have dialogue sequences, and it becomes clear that Walter is pushed around by his wife. That is what makes the imaginary dialogue of Walter's fictional world so fun to read. The characters he envisions are strong and commanding, and the dialogue works to further that impression.

Throw on the power lights! Rev her up to 8,500! We’re going through!

The use of dialogue also makes use of the literary technique of indirect characterization. Indirect characterization is characterization that the reader has to deduce by observing how a character talks, behaves, appears, and so on. For example, readers begin picking up on Mrs. Mitty's bossiness from her first spoken sentence.

“Not so fast! You’re driving too fast!” said Mrs. Mitty. “What are you driving so fast for?”

A fourth literary device in this story is setting. It is great to discuss setting in this story, because it hops around so much. The story is short, but Walter's imagination takes readers to so many different environments that I feel it is a disservice not to mention the importance of setting in this story. Additionally, things in Walter's real life trigger his imaginary adventures. For example, the newsboy's shouts about a trial trigger Walter to imagine he is a great lawyer.

A newsboy went by shouting something about the Waterbury trial.
. . .“Perhaps this will refresh your memory.” The District Attorney suddenly thrust a heavy automatic at the quiet figure on the witness stand.

Notice the ". . ." in the above quote. This literary device is an ellipsis. It is a literary device that is used in narratives to omit some parts of a sentence or event. It allows readers to fill in the gaps. In this case, it drops readers into the middle of the action.

In “Fahrenheit 451,” what does Faber mean by “Those who don’t build must burn. It’s as old as history and juvenile delinquents”?

During a conversation between Montag and Faber, Faber says, "Those who don't build must burn. It's as old as history and juvenile delinquents" (Bradbury, 42). Faber is saying that those individuals who do not positively contribute to society are helping to destroy it. Faber's analogy corresponds to the function of the firefighters, who destroy books and prevent individuals from attaining knowledge. Montag, who is a jaded firefighter, feels extremely guilty about participating in the destruction of society. He visits Faber in hopes of altering the trajectory of his life and wishes to contribute to society instead of being a destructive force. Faber believes that authors, artists, and intellectuals "build" institutions and have an overall positive impact on society. According to Faber's views, individuals who do not give back to society either directly or indirectly contribute to its destruction, which explains his own feelings of guilt. While Faber do...

Single Variable Calculus, Chapter 3, 3.6, Section 3.6, Problem 34

Determine $y''$ of $\sqrt{x} + \sqrt{y} = 1$ by using implicit differentiation.

What was the effect of World War II on African Americans?

According to historians John Hope Franklin and Alfred A. Moss, Jr., more than three million black men registered for the Selective Service. However, they were refused at a rate of 18.2 percent, compared to just 8.5 percent for whites.  Discrimination was rampant in the armed forces, though black soldiers had more opportunities than in the First World War. They were included in the infantry, the coast and field artillery, the engineer corps, the medical corps, and many other branches. When the Women's Army Corps was organized (WAC), black women were included. By the end of the war, more than 4,000 women had enlisted in the organization. The next step was to get black soldiers recommended for advanced training at officer training schools. Blacks were not admitted to officer training schools in high numbers until the Secretary of War issued an order stating that blacks were to be admitted. The integration of the military began in 1945, first on the war front in Germany. In 1948, sever...
