Araby

Araby The short story Araby written by James Joyce was about a boy, his desire to attend the bazaar, and his infatuation for a girl. At the beginning of the story the young boy describes North Richmond Street where he lives. His descriptions portray his surroundings as a rather dreary area where not much happens on the streets and even the houses seem to appear bland to the eyes of the boy. The young boy who is the main character and also the narrator of this story finds a lot of pleasure in being with a certain girl and admires her significantly. One day while talking to her she confesses her desire to attend the upcoming bazaar. Unfortunately she cannot go because she must attend a retreat for her convent. Being thoughtful and caring the boy the boy promises to retrieve some gift for her if he does go. The next day seems to drag on for the boy.
