Father Flynn had an open‚ comfortable‚ yet firm relationship with the boys‚ he was coaching. Sister Aloysius used an opposite way of communication with her students. We could notice it in her advice to Sister James: “They should be uncomfortable at your presence. They’re children. They can talk to each other.

James Joyce’s short story‚ Araby‚ focuses on a young boy who becomes obsessed with attending the Araby bazaar in order to find a gift for a girl he likes. I believe one of the story’s underlying themes is the power of coveting. For example‚ the boy narrator says‚ “ I had never spoken to her‚ except for a few casual words‚ and yet her name was like a summons to all my foolish blood” (Joyce‚ n.d.‚ para. 4). It is clear from this passage the boy fantasizes the idea of being with Mangan’s sister‚ yet

By grouping his objectification of females with other relatively mundane aspects of why the boys travel to the lake‚ Boyle makes the prospect of the female as irrelevant and routine as crickets chirping. Through the use of a recurring theme‚ another haphazard mention of females is made by the narrator when he explains they “debated going to a

Araby is a short story about a young boy that falls in love that has little or no experiences on the subject he in turn gets to feel for himself some of the follies that come along with it. Firstly we see the awkwardness the boy demonstrates around his crush.
