“Araby” is the story of a boy’s awakening. The narrator of the story is caught between childhood and being a teenager. He has innocent crushes that involve the objectification of women.

Palms Oasis in 1921‚ the first of many movies filmed there over the years. Though the city of Palm Springs today bears scant resemblance to Chase’s pastoral descriptions‚ many of the surrounding natural features remain much as he described them in Our Araby and in his better known California Desert Trails. Route descriptions for horse and rider have largely‚ and perhaps unfortunately‚ been negated by the automobile‚ but many of his destinations remain recognizable and‚ with a little luck‚ today’s visitors

There is one main image in the poem “A Blessing” by James Wright. The image that I see that is standing out is two nice men stepping over a barbed wire going to two ponies that are peacefully munching on grass. I felt that the was important because I felt as though it was the main focus of the poem‚ to get the reader to see the image.

In both Penelope Lively’s "At the Pitt-Rivers" and James Joyce’s "Araby" the boy narrators have skewed views about love. Throughout his particular story however‚ each narrator realizes that his ideas on love were mistaken and begins to modify his muddled thinking. In "At the Pitt-Rivers" the sixteen year-old narrator was certain that he knew all there was to know about love. "I mean‚ I’ve seen films and I’ve read books and I know a bit about things. As a matter of fact I’ve been in love twice myself"
