Araby's Response To The Bazaar
My chosen story this week is "Araby".
It is a story about a young boy living with his aunt and uncle, who is infatuated with his friend's sister and often follows her to school, never having the courage to talk to her. At last, she speaks to him, asking him if he is planning to attend a visiting bazaar named "Araby". After her indication that she cannot attend, the young man offers to bring her something from that bazaar, hoping to impress her. The young boy borrows some money from his uncle and makes his way to the bazaar a little late because that night his uncle was late home. At the bazaar, most stalls were closed and most of the people have left. The event is shuting down for the night, and the boy does not have enough money to buy something
to the girl he likes. The buy cries in frustration.
I liked how writer shows a community life in Dublin. It is interesting to read it as a story about a boy's growing alienation with his family, religion, and the world around him.
