She was on grief that her brother died in such a young age‚ but she did not have time to think about it or be sad and stay

The brief but complex stories of "Araby" by James Joyce and‚ "A&P by John Updike focuses on character traits rather than on plot to reveal the ironies that inherent self deception.

The transformation that both characters make from children to adults includes unrealistic expectations of women‚ focusing upon one girl in particular
