The story‚ Araby‚ by James’s Joyce‚ is one of Joyce’s standout pieces of work as a writer. What makes this story so compelling is Joyce’s style in writing the text.

Henry James’ The Turn of the Screw is written with one clear and true ending where Miles dies and the readers are left to guess the rest for themselves. Or is it? Right from the prologue‚ a reader may assume that Miles and Douglas are indeed the same person‚ but when the reader sees‚ “and his little heart‚ dispossessed‚ had stopped.” P.403 one dismisses that theory as lost‚ but it isn’t.
