Araby
What can the following details mean? They could mean that he comes from a poor family that lives in a part of the city that people don’t look to good upon.
What do you think some fo these images might be about? They are describing some of the things that he experienced or is experiencing every day. Also he’s telling you about his living conditions.
Do you have any similar experiences of playing in a group of kids, maybe with some “rough tribes” as your “enemies?” Oh yes I have vivid memories of playing with my cousins and neighbors playing “cops and robbers,” or “mommy and daddy”. I look back on it and sometimes laugh at some of the ridiculous games that we played.

in the story? I think that the uncle is more of the authority figure in the story. The boy cares what his uncle things and he also depends on him giving him money to go to Araby.
Do they serve any roles in offering guidance to the boy?
The aunt and the uncle both offer guidance to the boy but the uncle does so more than the aunt.
How does he describe his feelings for her? He was shy in the beginning he watched her and was trying to get up the nerve to talk to her. Finally she spoke to him and he wanted her to go to Araby with him but she couldn’t because she had to go to prayer study.
How is the attention he pays to the girl different from that of Sammy in “A& P”? I don’t the attention that he pays to her is any different than what Sammy does in the A&P. She doesn’t even know that he is watching or paying any attention to her at all.
Why do you think that she suggest that the boy go to Araby? She suggests that he goes because it would be fun and he might enjoy …show more content…
it.
Does she really care if he makes it or not? I don’t think that she really cares if he goes since she is not able to go.
What stops him from going till the very late on Saturday evening? His uncle coming home late for dinner is what stops him from going until late. His uncle said that he had forgotten that he wanted to go to Araby in the first place.
When he finally gets to Araby, why does the boy remember “with difficulty” he goes there?
He was so excited about going to Araby that he had forgotten why he had come in the first place.
Why does he not buy anything at the fair? He doesn’t buy anything because I think he didn’t know what to purchase since I think he was making a purchase for Managan’s sister. The young lady seemed rude so that discouraged him from buying anything at all.
What does the ending mean? In my opinion it means that he in his mind what Araby was going to be about, but when he got there he realized that it was not all that he thought it to be.
What do you think the boy has learned? I think that he learned that his infatuation with Managan’s sister is just that and infatuation. And that sometimes things are always what they seem to be.
How is his growth similar to, or different from that of Sammy’s? I think that he learned quickly not to put all of his eggs in one basket. Sammy quit his job in haste over the mistreatment of the girls. As for the boy he realized the he wasn’t going to spend his money on a young lady that he saw wasn’t worth it in the end.
To be more specific is the ending of this story similar to that of “A &P”? Yes the ending is somewhat similar to that of
A&P.
Describe the narrator or point in this story. Is the narrator like Sammy in “A & P” a young teenage boy or is he an older man remembering an important incident when he was younger? He is and older man talking about something that he experienced as a young man.
